I have tried playing with the OrderSend code as well as the FOR loop and OrderSelect code. My structure is simple at this point and I am using what seems to be "standard" arguments (I've been checking out how the more experienced coders form it).

I imagine the solution is very basic and that I'm missing something... Can anyone please give me guidance, or point me in the right direction, on this?

Thanks So Much
Two things. Make sure the symbols you are trading are visible in the 'Market Watch' window - right-click on any symbol there and select 'Show all'. In case you don't realise it, there is no need to open multiple charts to trade multiple currencies. You can use 'MarketInfo' to get price info on all available symbols.
