OrderSend("USDCHF",OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,StopLoss*Poin t,TakeProfit*Point,"UC",55555,0,Green)

But I kept getting the message "unknown symbol name USDCHF for OrderSend function". Is this because the EA is attached to the EURUSD chart? And is there any way to tell the EA to buy a different currency (and then later to close it)?

Any suggestions would be very appreciated! (Oh, and does anyone know of an EA that does this? I find it helpful to look at the code of working EA's when I'm struggling with a problem.)
