It will be nice to have a separate thread about a method to recode 4 digits EA to 5.

What would be the impact of the change to 5 digits that is planned for one major broker. Should Expert Advisors be modified or there is no problem with it and they will continue working correctly ?

I posted an article on my blog about a month ago with coding tips for just this situation.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Brain Systems (m30 setup) already have update version for 5 digit brokers, you can check it here BrainSystem: Setup Questions. CJA's signal bar have digit switch function, here Signal_Bars_v7.

Those update indicators works ok for me. The other indicators i'm not sure ( like nittany indicators or TRO meter...) because i don't use it, sorry.

Do you have some samples of the formula that i can write down / insert it into our indicators -- those formula(s) that can carry on to the metatrader which broker(s) offer to us with the new 5 digit quote ?

The broker so far i've tested the indicators is Interbankfx, yet. These 5 digits quote make me Dizzy and i've rather "lost of orientations" and some other losing of trade - feeling. I've prefer the Classic quote than 5 digits / or 3 digits quote if you use Yen based currencies. Hell, this is something new for me while i long time not to follow the latest news in this forum about this matter.

Oh my!, my indicators of money management taken from other thread of this forum also got messed up! moreover i've tested it with mini demo account from interbankfx. Really need some "enlightenment" from you guys...

the five digits will allways goes with the Point (on the mql language)

so you should use a global indicator namely

PHP Code:


			
double ptt;

PHP Code:


			
//on the [u]special functions init[/u] :

ptt=Point;



if (FractionalPips)

    ptt=ptt*10

and then replace all of your "Point" usage using the "ptt" variable
