I am having trouble determining the distance of two price levels in pips.

I tried to use the following line, which doesn't seem to work:

Math.abs(price1-price2)/Instrument.getPipValue

I have limited experience in programming, but I assume that the root of the problem is somewhere around the floating point values that are used. I have yet to find the solution though.

What I basically need can most likely found in the source code of the IOrder.getProfitLossInPips() method (the two prices being IOrder.getOpen and the price of the last tick), or the source code of the ruler gadget that can be activated in the trading platform by clicking the cross-shaped "Set Cursor Pointer" button.

Could somebody please provide a method for the task, or provide some guidelines for the implemetation?

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thank you!

It is likely that the problem lies in formatting, see:

Thank you very much, formatting really did the trick.

However, it turned out that I would like to do a series of tasks to which the source code of IOrder.getProfitLossInPips and getProfitLossInUsd method would be of great help (I would like to be able to get the hypothetical profit/loss of an order or list of orders at a given price level. Basically, I would like to freely set the open price, amount and current price parameters, like: "If I had an order/group of orders here, what would be its/their profit/loss there?)

Of course the whole thing is doable without the mentioned source code, but it would save me from considerable amount of headache.

Thanks for your kind answer!
