How can I round my TP and SL targets when I send an order to a certain number of decimals depending on the currency pair? I had an order rejected as per log below because of the long decimals on TP and SL. 

Limit order to Buy NZD 84k NZDJPY (Price: 81.903, SL: 48.1499999999997, TP: 6.34999999999997) is REJECTED with error "INVALID_REQUEST"

For example for NZDJPY I want to round TP and SL to 3 decimals. 

Thanks

Search in google: C# round

and first pahe from microsoft show what you need (its only C# )

      Console.WriteLine(Math.Round(decValue, 2));
      Console.WriteLine(Math.Round(decValue, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero));

API guide:

/api/guides/trading_api#el6

I think SL and TP is in Pips

/api/reference/robot/placelimitorder

public TradeResult PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType tradeType, Symbol symbol, long volume, double targetPrice, string label, double? stopLossPips, double? takeProfitPips)

// SL 50 Pips  TP 200 Pips
PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, Symbol.Bid + (75 * Symbol.PipSize), label, SL, TP);
