Hi,


Does anyone know why my broker (Alpari UK) returns 0 for the following regardless of which symbol it is.

MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL);

Any work arounds ?

Thanks

That means that your broker allows a 0 StopLevel.

So does that mean my minimum stop level is 0 for all symbols on Alpari UK ?

That's strange

You can even check this in the backtester under symbol properties.

No, Symbol() is the chart that the code is running on . . . if you want to know if "minimum stop level is 0 for all symbols on Alpari UK " then you need to run your code on each symbol one at a time and find out.
20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .

As a matter of interest, MODE_STOPLEVEL returns a value with the brokers that I use, but MODE_FREEZELEVEL doesn't.
Does Alpari retuen a value for MODE_FREEZELEVEL? If so, maybe you can use this instead.
