  1. Make up your mind. Do you want 20 points or 2 PIPs?

  2. PIP, Point, or Tick are all different in general.

    Unless you manually adjust your SL/TP for each separate symbol, using Point means code breaks on 4 digit brokers, exotics (e.g. USDZAR where spread is over 500 points), and metals. Compute what a PIP is and use it, not points.

  3. 20 points
    (val2-val1)/_Point
    2 PIPs
    (val2-val1)/PIP
