Hi,
I've been doing my bes to try programming some things, but I've hit a brick wall. So I tried something real simple. If I uncomment "Print("Five");" and test the program it will only print "Yahooooooo". (Well it prints One" as well). Now with "Print("Five");" commented out, even the "Yahooooooo" doesn't print. What am I missing??

Hi,

I'm trying to write a codes in my EA that will close all pending and open orders once there is 1 trade that hit TP. Below is the codes that I used, seems not working. Can somebody take a look and advise what is missing. Thanks.


if( PreviousOpenOrders > OpenOrders )
{
for( cnt = OrdersTotal()-1; cnt >= 0; cnt-- )
{
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
mode = OrderType();
if( OrderSymbol() == Symbol() &&
OrderMagicNumber()==Magic)

{
if( mode == OP_BUY ) OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),OrderClosePri ce(),slippage,Blue);
if( mode == OP_SELL ) OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),OrderClosePri ce(),slippage,Red);
if (mode == OP_SELLLIMIT) OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
if (mode == OP_BUYLIMIT) OrderDelete(OrderTicket());

}
}
}
}

Use Bid and Ask respectively instead of OrderClosePrice()...

Hello ralph,

can you help to give an example. Thanks for the help.

If you do not use brackets, only one line is executed. It depends of what you want to do, but you should do it like this:

................

Here is my bit of code for moving the stoploss to breakeven after a certain profit. Is there anything wrong with it?

People that can help:

The code for the previous bar is below:

//to buy
double indicatorpast = icustom(....................,1);
double indicatornow = icustom(....................,0);

if (close[1]<indicatorpast && close[0]>indicatornow) OpenBUY();
if (close[1]>indicatorpast && close[0]<indicatornow) OpenSELL();

but with this satatement, the expert opens positions not only when the price cross the indicator, it opens position above the indicator too. I want that the expert open position ONLY when it cross the indicator, so i tried that:

//to buy
double indicatorpast = icustom(....................,1);
double indicatornow = icustom(....................,0);

if (close[1]<indicatorpast && close[0]==indicatornow) OpenBUY();
if (close[1]>indicatorpast && close[0]==indicatornow) OpenSELL();

But this statement it is not performing.

Do you know what is happen? Because i think there arent errors in the statement.

The question is why is not opening at the exact point of cross when close[0]==Indicatornow? If the function would be with ==, we will prevent the open of orders above the point of crooss between the indicator and the close of the present bar but is not funtioning with this type of relationship between the variables.

Do you have experimented the same problem? Abyone knows how resolve it?
Thanks, again.

Because you are looking for an exact match between a returned 8 digit floating point value and price - they will almost never be equal with resolutions like that. Just check for a greater-than or less-than condition.
