a problem about function -- "ordersend()"
in the fact, I just want to know what price I should set when I don't know "cmd" is OP_BUY or OP_SELL.
2. Close[0] is always equal to bid, why? Thats false. This is why I give you the first Link.
3. OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask+2*Point,3,0,0,0,0,0,Red);
Op_Buy is looking for "ask: 95.84"____Not 95.84+2*Point.____Not 95.8400000001. <-- This is what Close[0] could look like in double precision. Sigh.
You're the trader, you should know if you want to buy or sell. Buy@Ask. Sell@Bid.
thanks. in the fact my purpose is that regarding to "OrderSend(Symbol(),tradetype,Lots,XXX,3,0,0,0,0,0,Red); ", whether there is an good price XXX which can make me just change tradetype to send order without considering OP_BUY or OP_SELL.
If there is not, that is Ok, I know.

3. if OP_Buy is just looking for "ask", i think the "price" in function "ordersend()" can be deleted when "cmd" is OP_buy or OP_sell.
in addition, what is the "slippage" 's meaning and when and how it work?
thanks a lot?

1) That could be True. I've never tried it. Try it and see if it compiles.
2) Slippage. slippage is the maximum allowed deviation of the requested order open price from the market price for market orders (points). This parameter is not processed for placing of pending orders.
thank you very much and you are so nice
i have other questions for you haha
1. Now I show a script code as below:
#property copyright "Copyright 2013, MetaQuotes Software Corp." #property link "http://www.metaquotes.net" #property show_inputs extern string My_Name; int start() { Print("my name is :",My_Name); return(0); }
I want to use this script to print "my name is ABC" for the first time , "my name is XYZ" for the second time and other something for the next time; I mean "ABC" and "XYZ" should be assigned to My_Name by me when the script is executing rather than written into the codes in advance. How shall I? I need the very details, thanks.
2. I mean whether I can create an EA which can execute the above script to print "My_Name" just like that the EA calls other functions, such as ordersend() and so on? I hope I have clear my meaning.

Now the symbol-" USDJPY " price is as below:
bid: 95.82
ask: 95.84
I execute the below codes in my EA:
1. OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,0,0,0,0,0,Red); succeed
2. Ordersend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Close[0],3,0,0,0,0,0,Red); fail
3. OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask+2*Point,3,0,0,0,0,0,Red); fail
my questions are below:
1. I don;t know why "1" can succed but "3" failed? and how / what shall I modify to make "2" succeed, the slippage can work a little?
2. Close[0] is always equal to bid, why?
3. bid / ask spread sometime is 2 points, sometime is 1 point / 3 points, why?
