excuse the noob question but i cant seem to find any answer based on search (although maybe im just not using the correct terminology ).

I'm looking for cross-broker, cross-pair code to find the distance in pips between an open and closing price, ie, give open price and stop loss, what is the size in pips.

thx

double PipSize = MathAbs(OrderOpenPrice() - OrderStopLoss()) / Point;

thx for the super quick reply - but does that take into account 4 or 5 digit broker differences ?

Inserted Code

double Pips(double OrderStopLossValue, double OrderEntryPrice)
   {
   //Check the broker type default 4 digit broker
   int BrokerMultiplier = 1;
    if(Digits == 3 || Digits == 5)
      {
      //5 digit broker
      BrokerMultiplier = 10;
      }
      
   double Pips = MathAbs(OrderEntryPrice - OrderStopLossValue) / Point / BrokerMultiplier;
   
   return(Pips);      
   }
