Cannot configure MaxSlippage, for 5-digit brokers

1. I don't see anywhere to set sqMaxEntrySlippage. This is currently hardcoded at 5

2. For 5-digit brokers, it should be 50, not 5.  May be, a code like this?


if (Point == 0.00001 || Point == 0.001) { sqMaxEntrySlippage *= 10; StopLoss *= 10; TakeProfit *= 10; // And so on }

you need to edit it in the MQL code or in the template, because its not an EXTERN


i have made changes in the template, so i have right in the MQL code ZERO slippage


but i think, its already set up in pips, not sure...


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

// -- SQ internal variables

// add word "extern" in front of the variable you want

// to make configurable

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int sqMaxEntrySlippage = 0;          //zero means unlimited slippage

int sqMaxCloseSlippage = 0;          //zero means unlimited slippage

These are declared as int, assigned value in pips but OrderSend expects in Points.  For 4-digit brokers, value in pips == value in Points. But for 5-digit brokers, Point is 0.1 pip

I added automatic slippage correction into MQL code. It will auto correct slippage for symbols with 3 and 5 digits - it will multiply slippage by 10 as you suggested.


int sqMaxEntrySlippage = 5;          //Max tolerated entry slippage in pips. Zero means unlimited slippage int sqMaxCloseSlippage = 0;          //Max tolerated close slippage in pips. Zero means unlimited slippage        bool autoCorrectMaxSlippage = true;  //If set to true, it will automatically adjust max slippage according to symbol digits (*10 for 3 and 5 digit symbols)  


This behaviour could be turned off by setting autoCorrectMaxSlippage = false.


If you want to be able to alter max slippage settings right in EA parameters, just add the word "extern" before the variable declaration (or "input" if you are using MT5).
