"int" or "double" for command for Slippage?

Fractions of pips eh? Why would you want that?

Am I missing something?

Thanks for the answer and including the command string. This could come in handy in the future. In fact I've already printed it out.

What you are missing is that I am not a programmer. I've learned to make uncomplicated changes to programs by seeing how other programs are written that have coding for doing something that I want the program I am working on to do. When I saw the above slippage code written in different ways from 2 different programs I decided to ask. It looks as if one of the programs I was looking at has made a coding error. I suppose I should start to read the documentation on this site.

Ah, I get it. Put very simply, "int" defines a variable which is a whole number whereas "double" defines a variable which is a number with decimal places.

The wrinkle is the unit of slippage is points not pips so constants must be adjusted:

//---- These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
double  pips2points         = 1,
        pips2dbl,       //  = Point
        slippagePoints; //  = SlippagePips * pips2points;
int init()
{
    pips2dbl         = Point;
    if (Digits == 3 || Digits == 5) {
        pips2points *= 10;
        pips2dbl    *= 10;
    }
    slippagePoints  = SlippagePips * pips2points;
}
int start(){
  //OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUYSTOP, Lots,dropped,
  //Slippage, dropped-(SL*Point), 
  dropped+(TP*Point),
  //"simple buy stop",Green) 
  OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUYSTOP, Lots,dropped,
  slippagePoints, dropped-(SL*pips2dbl),
  dropped+(TP*pips2dbl),
  "simple buy stop",Green) 
}
