syntax might be correct.... but what do you expect it would do? Maybe it better to make a plan for your EA and then code it.

1. I didn't find how you use the variable My_Money_Profit_Target
2.Why do you close Buy orders only?
I want it to close the orders once the profit target is reached-which I want to be 1% of the balance. I don't want to keep changing an external input. Also, I only buy......not sell. Please help.......
