Help with displaying pip spread

Hello,

So far I have this:

Inserted Code
   double spread;
   double pip;
   pip = Point;
   if(Digits==3 || Digits==5) pip = 10*Point;
   spread=MarketInfo(Symbol(),13)*Point/pip;   
   Comm=Comm+"Spread: "+spread+" pips";
It displays this: 5.30000000 and I would like it to display this 5.3

Just need the last little piece.

Thank you!

You can use DoubleToStr to limit display of no. of digits after decimal.

I have been looking for an indicator that would show this on a chart!

What would be the best way to use this code snipet? Can it be used directly in Metaeditor?

Does anyone know of a completed indicator that does this?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you both for the help!!

FYI, I did TRY to answer my question through the search function and through google... all I could find were indicators that showed CANDLE pip spreads not the bid/ask spread...

But I will work through all the threads you linked to.

Thanks again for taking the time!
