it should buy when a new candle closes above the moving average and the previous closed below it. |
I think it should be:
PHP Code:
if(Close[1]<ma && Close[0]>ma)
{
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lots,Ask,3,stop*Point,Ask+profit*Point,"",2005,0,Green);
if(ticket>0)
{
if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES))
Print("BUY order opened : ",OrderOpenPrice());
}
else Print("Error opening BUY order : ",GetLastError());
return(0);
}
