Dear Trader,

There is a general formula to covert price difference to pips.  

pips = priceDif / Symbol.PipSize

Dear Trader,

When you create a limit order you have to specify a price. Why don't you assign the desired price to a variable and the use this variable to pass the price to the limit order and after use it for your calculations.

In addition, please have a look at the following code snippet: 

            PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 10000, Symbol.Bid);
            PendingOrder order = LastResult.PendingOrder;
            Print("The pending order's target price is: {0}", order.TargetPrice);

We hope this helps you.
