New comment
 

please what is the correct formula for mq5 when mq4 is like this   ? 


MarketInfo(ExtSymbols[i], MODE_TICKVALUE)
 

its  SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE from this function

thank you, its correct? 
double pip = SymbolInfoDouble(ExtSymbols[i],SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE)*10;

No this is the value of one point (_Point) in Deposit currency amount for one lot.

You are looking for 

double pt=_Point;

The pip is not available directly and in my opinion you should skip the term and notion of it . Go directly to the _Point (point/tick) which is the smallest movement an asset can have , and , its available programmatically .

Whenever someone mentions pips in their requests ask "Oh god , are you an analyst , you know what happens after it happens ?" etc (humor)

Also 

SymbolInfoDouble(your_symbol,SYMBOL_POINT);

No! It is the Tick Value, not a "pip" nor even a pip value. Also the function works for both MQL4+ and MQL5.

Symbol Point Value

Fernando Carreiro, 2022.05.18 21:05

double
   dbTickSize   = SymbolInfoDouble( _Symbol, SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE  ), // Tick size
   dbTickValue  = SymbolInfoDouble( _Symbol, SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE ), // Tick value
   dbPointSize  = SymbolInfoDouble( _Symbol, SYMBOL_POINT ),            // Point size
   dbPointValue = dbTickValue * dbPointSize / dbTickSize;               // Point value

Remember, it's best to use tick size and tick value in your calculations, instead of point size and its value.

Symbol Point Value

Here are two examples from AMP Global (Europe):

  • Micro E-mini S&P 500 (Futures): point size = 0.01, tick size = 0.25, tick value = $1.25
  • EURO STOXX Banks (Stock Index): point size = 0.01, tick size = 0.05, tick value = €2.50

It is the Tick Value, not the point value. See my previous post.

Yeah what he is looking for is _Point . The lowest possible movement however is SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE , correct.

Perfect, thank you both very much, but I'm still making a mistake somewhere, see screen.   can't you see at first glance where I'm doing wrong?

Possibly! It is currently unclear what the OP wants, and they probably don't even know the differences between tick, point or pip.

Ow you meant the Tick value is for the Tick size , yes indeed . Sorry
