"No positions nearby" block calculating 5x bigger pip size [solved]

[Breeeeen]

Hi there,

When I have the "range mode" set to pips, the "no positions nearby" block seems to multiply the value by a factor of 5x.
I tested this with different currencies (EURUSD and AUDNZD) and both positions (buy and sell), using constant values and numeric values, and the end result is always 5x bigger.

I'm creating a simple martingale system that has the following logic: when the price has moved X distance away from the previous order in a losing direction, open a new order (leave the previous order open). I can only find the "no positions nearby" block to work for my use case, happy to listen to advice if there are better alternatives, but obviously would be good to fix this bug (or know what I'm doing wrongly).

Thanks.

@breeeeen Could you please share the link? Obviosuly there is something conflicting that part.

Sure thing, here's a simple example I created: no constants or variables and a super simple structure to make it easy to identify.
I did a test and it's still 5x the size.

it's right for me, looking at how the range around the price is calculated, you have the sells trades spaced 50 pips (100 pips / 2 = 50)

@ambrogio huh is that what the "around the price" means, I read it a number of times but did not click.
(Also I've mistaken points for pips, otherwise my topic would have said 0.5x instead of 5x oops.)
That makes a lot of sense now, appreciate you looking into this. I've changed this topic to "solved" (due to user error).

Thanks for your help!
