1e-05 is another way to write 0.00001

If you want it displayed differently, try:  

Alert(DoubleToStr(MarketInfo(NULL,MODE_TICKSIZE),Digits));

You probably want to look up Point too, if you are looking to convert it to "pips". You'll also find it beneficial to look up about catering for 4 digit versus 5 digit brokers.

If you had read the documentation, you would know that tick size is not a value at all (pips or otherwise)

Oh...

Thank you both ( honest_knave & whroeder1 )

seems I misunderstand myself

I want another idea

it is the gap between each tick

However, I will calculate it by a simple function

Thanks Again

Good Luck

:)
