      When opening orders, moving stop loss and take profit, etc. The parameters for pips don't take 5 digit brokers into account. So, if I wanted to set up a trailing stop to follow 50 pips behind the current price on a broker that quotes in 5 digits, the generated expert advisor would instead trail by 500 pips... which is a huge difference.

        what about play with settings in:
        Options - This Project - Project Options - "Point format rules"?
        🙂

        Between trading and gambling is a very small gap, be careful.

          Yes, in fxDreema you define the size of one pip. In these settings you can say to the EA to convert certain points format to pips. I remember that back then in MetaTrader they never used "pips" as a term, they used the word "points". So, by "points" I mean the real difference between two prices, like these 500 points in 5 digit brokers. By "pips" I imagine 0.0001 in most USD currency pairs, no matter if the broker is 4 or 5 digit.
