Originally I tried:
OrderSend("USDCHF", OP_BUY, Lots, Ask, 3, StopLoss*Point, TakeProfit*Point, "UC", 55555, 0, Green)
which didn't work. Is this because I didn't use the ibars Function first, or have I got the code completely wrong?
Can you, or anyone else help with this?

Hi Tim,
I think you are in a hurry and can not wait for the part 2 of the article, So take the temporarily answer:
To open an "USDCHF" (
or any another pair) for an EA that hosted on "EURUSD" chart (
or any another pair) you have to use code like this:
PHP Code:
if(Buy==true) //buy conditions have been met
{
RefreshRates();
OrderSend("USDCHF",OP_BUY,Lots,MarketInfo("USDCHF",MODE_ASK),Slippage,MarketInfo("USDCHF",MODE_ASK)-StopLoss*Point,MarketInfo("USDCHF",MODE_ASK)+TakeProfit*Point,ExpertComment,MagicNumber,0,Green);
}
if(Sell==true) //sellconditions have been met
{
RefreshRates();
OrderSend"USDCHF",OP_SELL,Lots,MarketInfo("USDCHF",MODE_BID),Slippage,MarketInfo("USDCHF",MODE_BID)+StopLoss*Point,MarketInfo("USDCHF",MODE_BID)-TakeProfit*Point,ExpertComment,MagicNumber,0,Red);
}
In the part 2 of the article you'll know what does the above code mean!
