Hi Gordon, as you can see on the code you've just posted, if you like to change the color permanent, just change ALL WHITE and RED word to whatever color you like, then compile the custom indicator. Please let me know should this could solve your problem. Hope this help

Hi All,
EA is opening 2 positions
at the same time, same pairs.
Could u please check this.
Thanks, Bongo

int cnt = 0;

string OrderValueSymbol(int index)
{
OrderSelect(index, SELECT_BY_POS);
return(OrderSymbol());
}

int start()
{

if( Bars < 20 ) return(0);

for(cnt=1;cnt<=OrdersTotal();cnt++) {
if( OrderValueSymbol(cnt) == Symbol() )
{
Order = 1;
break;
}
else
{
Order = 0;
}
}

if( OrdersTotal() == 0 ) Order = 0;
if( OrdersTotal() < 5 && Order == 0 )
etc....

Hi Dave,
Getting an error message when I try to compile, obviously I am missing something. Message below


'indicator_color2' - defined value expected E:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\indicators\Heiken Ashi.mq4 (18, 1)

Gordon

Hi Gordon, please post your modified code, I will take a look at it. Also let me know, what color you like for WHITE and RED ? Hope this help

IMHO the multiple entry could happen if you test it on multiple pairs. How many pairs did you run the EA on the same time ?

Thanks again Dave,
Blue for buy, red for sell.

Bongo. The first position in the trade pool is 0 instead of 1. The for loop should look like this : for(int i=0;i<Orderstotal();i++){
Also, are you using custom functions?
Cheers!

Hi Gordon, I got the problem. If you like BLUE for your color, you must write "Blue" instead of "blue" , MetaEditor is CASE SENSITIVE. I've tested it and it should be work. Hope this help and let me know should you still have other problem
