loop problem : enhanced take profit
is there anybody who can tell me why this loop gives problem when backtesting :
if(TP_ameliore==true && OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET)==true)
if (Bid>(OrderOpenPrice()+takeprofit*Point) && OrderType()==OP_BUY)
for(int i=0;i<=1000;i++)
{
double previous_tick_on_bid=Bid;
while (RefreshRates()==false)
{
if(Bid<previous_tick_on_bid)
OrderClose(ticket,lots,Bid,3,Black);
}
}
This is an enhanced take profit
Why not try:
start(){
static double previous_tick_on_bid;
if(TP_ameliore==true && OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET)==true) {
if (Bid>(OrderOpenPrice()+takeprofit*Point) && OrderType()==OP_BUY) {
if(Bid<previous_tick_on_bid) {
OrderClose(ticket,lots,Bid,3,Black);
}
}
}
previous_tick_on_bid=Bid;
}

if(Bid<previous_tick_on_bid) {
OrderClose(ticket,lots,Bid,3,Black);

previous_tick_on_bid=Bid;
}
This is not a loop i think. To be clear i want to create a loop where i compare incoming tick to previous one and not close the order as long as bid is rising for example. But thank you for trying.
anyone else for a suggestion on this please. TY
The while-loop wouldn't work, as RefreshRates()==false means the Bid values hasn't changed, it remains as Bid == previous_tick_on_bid, so the if-statement never gets satisfied so the order never gets closed. Try something like this:
if (Bid>(OrderOpenPrice()+takeprofit*Point) && OrderType()==OP_BUY) for(int i=0;i<=1000;i++) { previous_tick_on_bid=Bid; if (RefreshRates()) { if (Bid<previous_tick_on_bid) { OrderClose(ticket,lots,Bid,3,Black); break; } } }

Yes it is. Each in comming tick will call start() If you don't exit start you won't get ticks.
