hi


i'm designing an EA and the prices are not precise but rather rounded to 0.00005

what's going on ??


thanks for help

Jeff,

If you are indeed normalizing the request price down to one tick and the instrument's tick-size is 0.00001, then it's an issue with your broker. 

 

yes but why the pending are ok (in the first EA). i created another EA yesterday, with pendings (just to see), and the trades are also rounded to 0.00005, unlike the first EA...


this is really strange, it's like i'm doing something wrong but i don't know what (i'm not rounding entry prices, right)
