Stop loss = 1? huh?

Hello Guys,

You've been very helpful but wondering if you could help explain this...

When I run my EA, the print command shows me the value for var3 (my stop) is "1". How does it come up with this number?


Here's the output line:
Recmax: 1.9859 Recmin: 1.9782 Stop: 1

Im expecting the value to be 50 points less then Recmax which would be like 1.9359

Code

int var3 = NormalizeDouble(RectanglePriceMax,Digits)-500*Point;

OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT,1,NormalizeDouble(RectanglePriceMin,Digits),3,var3,NormalizeDouble(RectanglePriceMin,Digits)+500*Point,"Order Sent", 16384,0,Green);


Print("Recmax:", RectanglePriceMax, "Recmin:", RectanglePriceMin, "Stop: ", var3, "This is for the bullish pattern");

is that an error you made posting here or is there actually a gap in your code
here : int var3 = NormalizeDouble(RectanglePriceMax,D igits)-500*Point;

its supposed to be Digits...

Hmm I donno why when i copied it that happened, but I took out that line and put it into notepad and there was no spaces, so retyped it in manually... but ran it and got the same value of 1 ... hmmmm

Hi, trader346, the error is that you declare var3 as an 'int' but assign a double value to it, so it gets truncated to an integer (in this case to '1').

Try this:

double var3 = NormalizeDouble(RectanglePriceMax,Digits)-500*Point;

wicked, thanks so much!
