Getting that 5th digit?

I'm trying to get a script to pull the values of each digit.

Let's say the bid is 1.12345

The Bid function returns: 1.1234
MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_BID) returns: 1.1234

What else is there?

Does just using Bid return the same value?

Print.

MQL4 doc:

void Print(...)
...
Data of double type are printed with 4 decimal digits after point. To output more precisely, use the DoubleToStr() function.
The same applies to Comment() and Alert() by the way.

Who are you the syntax police!? Everyone knew what the intent of the question was without giving the asker a slap on the syntax wrist. On top of that you're a newb here yourself? - PLEASE... Put Up to Shut Me Up!! - I'm dying to see a mt4stats of a EA written by an 'expert' (a self proclaimed expert at that) - In fact you're correcting RR, one of the best and most helpful MT4 experts on this board. (he deserves the title - 3000+ posts! - 10+ Vouchers!! - Hundreds of code snippets, EA's, tech help, etc...) Gimme a break!! What have you written that makes you an expert? Please show me some stats that will silence my tongue. I await your response oh great MT4 Master (NOT!!!)

I think the same applies when I say "Intron is not a trader"

I openly say that I am a trader first. Programming is something I can do, but not something I want to live my life doing.

I think you understood what I was getting at. What's more interesting is that you still fail to give me an answer.

You'll all see the reason why I'm trying to get the 5 digits, hopefully before the end of this week.

Thanks everyone for the help. Hopefully it all works out properly.

My answer works quite well.
No it doesn't. Or rather it works and all the 'normilisers' heat the CPU up all right but all three do nothing in fact. There is no point to round the values that are already rounded whatsoever.

and satisfies Ron's question.
This is up to Ron to decide.

I believe RR's original question was about MarketInfo(...), which is a function. The rest is just esoteric. LOL, TomAto, Tomato.
Still doesn't make Bid a function.

Thank you for your answer, always willing to learn something new. .....

Edit , this kind of crap talk is not worth it; deleting all of my posts in this thread, as it is a waste of my time.

You could times the number by 10,000 depending on the pair, use INT or similar then divide by 10,000 again to get it without it ??
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

Ron, You want the value of each digit? Convert it to a string and sub-string it.
