I was reading your code and found some double declarations: EMA_DIST and ENTRY_DIST were declared as external variables, no need to re-declare them inside...

      //==================// 
      //-- ENTRY POINTS --//
      //==================//
                     
  int EMA_DIST = 80;                  <-----------------------------warning: declared as ext parameter!------------ext int EMA_DIST = 80; 
  double b = EMA_DIST*Point;    
  double c = sema+b;
  double d = sema-b;
  
  int ENTRY_DIST = 10;                <-----------------------------warning: declared as ext parameter!------------ext int ENTRY_DIST= 10;
  double e = ENTRY_DIST*Point;
  double f = sema+e;
  double g = sema-e;


About your question, I'll see if I have some more time to check later.

Here could be your problem:

                     //--- BUY CRITERIA ---//

if(Close[2]>mpl && Close[1]>mpl && rsi>50 && Bid>=f && c<Bid || d>Bid)    <---It buys when all the green OR the blue condition is true
{
...
                     //--- SELL CRITERIA ---//

if(Close[2]<mpl && Close[1]<mpl && rsi<50 && Bid<=g && (d>Bid || c<Bid)) <---Remove red parenthesis!!!: 
                                                                                                                           It will sell ONLY IF all the red become true together

Thank you very much robotalfa, I will try that.

Im sorry I forgot to add the custom indicator, I will attach it if robotalda's suggestion does not solve the problem.

Thanks for all your responses! Much appreciated.

AAAH! Sorry guys! I have 2 EA's that are almost the same, I attached the wrong EA.

I will attach the EA that does not take shorts, to this EA with its custom indicator.

Sorry again...its this EA that does not take shorts.
