No, the Point will be .0001 not 1.1825 (1.1825 is the ask price).
So,
If "ask" is 1.1825 and "profit" is 50then:

1.1825 + (50 * .0001) = 1.1825 + 0.005 = 1.1875 (50 Pips)

my expert has the below settings as default
extern double profit = 80;
extern double stop = 30;

but backtesting produced t/p stops of 45-46 and stoploss losses of 17
Still don't understand this point .
Did you use Optimization testing mode?
