There is DoubleToStr() for that, which will write with real Digits, but this way it will write with 4! See the Documentation at the top left, you'll find everything there and learn a lot + tutorial!
There you go:
Thanks a lot! And I'm reading the tutorial, and writing an EA as I go along.
And another question: what is the easiest way to know that a given order is closed (by ticket)? Should I use the OrderCloseTime function, or is there a special function for this purpose?

The ticket variable should store the ticket number of the order being checked
The ticket variable should store the ticket number of the order being checked
If the order is closed, shouldn't it be found in the history (MODE_HISTORY)?

Thank you.
Another question. There is a block in the EA that should delete pending orders, depending on the closing of market orders:
OrderSelect(T1,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
datetime cls1;
cls1=OrderCloseTime(); // time to close 1 order
OrderSelect(T2,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
datetime cls2;
cls2=OrderCloseTime(); // time to close 2 orders
Alert(cls1," ",cls2);
if(cls1==0 && cls2==0) //if both orders are open
return(0);
else
CLS++; //closing flag for one of the orders
if(cls1>0 && CLS==1) //delete pending orders depending on which order is closed
OrderDelete(T3);
if(cls2>0 && CLS==1)
OrderDelete(T4);
return(0);
}
The block does not work for some reason (it does not close pending orders) and Alert always shows "0 0". I specifically closed one of the open orders but nothing happens. It feels as if the EA does not detect that an order has already been closed and is now processing outdated data. What might be the problem?
Thank you.

Where is the order ticket found out? And where does OrderCloseTime come from if the order is still active (at least it is selected among the active ones by code)?
if an order is closed, shouldn't it be looked for in the history (MODE_HISTORY)?
Oh stop raging. Pool is ignored in this case. Only by closing time greater than/equal to zero you may determine from which list the order has been selected. It's a shame not to know these basics ;)
I hardly ever search by ticket, more by index, it may be a shame, but what can you do ;)
but the search for the right ticket is not cited there, maybe he's looking for it wrong and then complains that the code doesn't work...

Thank you all for your help! The error was in the local ticket variables. What can I do, I'm a nerd.
