Static variable problem - Please help

Hi

I am trying trouble with the following piece of code.

..
static double firstbuysl, firstsellsl, firstbuyprice, firstsellprice;
static double mylasttradeprice = 0;
double sarCurrent, sarPrevious, momCurrent, momPrevious,x,y,t;
...
x = mylasttradeprice - (Bid + Ask)/2;
y = MathAbs(x);
t= (trailingStop/2)*Point;
if(y>t) { ....
/* determine how to trade */
..

if trailingstop = 30 then when the EA starts, I thought y would be greater then t and I would enter the section to 'determine how to trade' - but its not working.

Hi cardio,

I've tested your code and found (y>t) evaluated to true (y is greater than t). So, you have to enter the section of 'determine how to trade'.

I used this code which will Alert 1 (true) if y>t and 0 (false) otherwise:

Code:

static double firstbuysl, firstsellsl, firstbuyprice, firstsellprice;
static double mylasttradeprice = 0;
double sarCurrent, sarPrevious, momCurrent, momPrevious,x,y,t;

dobule trailingStop = 30; //I declared it here for testing

x = mylasttradeprice - (Bid + Ask)/2;
y = MathAbs(x);
t= (trailingStop/2)*Point;
 
Alert(y>t); //true

I just want to know how do you set the mylasttradeprice ?

Thanks

I put the EA that uses this up at

http://www.forex-tsd.com/showthread.php?p=1698#post1698

it is serously not working - I don't quite know what is wrong - I will keep working on it.

Thanks
