Getting the value of 1 tick (TP or SL)

New comment
 
Hi 

I would like to know how to get the money value of 1 tick in MT5

I tried
    double tickSize = SymbolInfoDouble(symbolA, SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE);
    tickValue = SymbolInfoDouble(symbolA, SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE);

But that does not gives the correct value

The value I am after is the one used when setting an SL or TP
Using the mouse you can drag an order to set TP and SL and you see an automated calculation in money of how much the SL or TP would be.

How do I get that tick value?

Kind regards

It seems to be correct and the issue I face has to do with currency conversion


Although the deposit is in EURO the tick value seems to be in $ USA
