- getting value in a function
I'm assuming your talking candles...
int greenBarsCount = 0; for(int c = 0; c < 5; c++){ if(Close[c] > Open[c]) greenBarsCount++; } Comment(greenBarsCount);
i have writing this code but it open 0 position and return an error 0, can anyone tell me what is wrong ? i trying to check if there are 2 or more green (red) candles together then put them in a function how can i do it
int start() { //---- int gb10 = 0; int ticket; for (int c = 0; c < 5; c++) //check for if there are 2 or more greend candles { if (Close[c] > Open[c]) gb10++; } if (gb10 > 2) // if there are then send buy orders { ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, lot, Bid,3, 0, Ask+takeprofit*Point,"", 12345,0,Red); } if (ticket >0) { if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES)) Print("buy order open :", OrderOpenPrice()); } else Print ("error opening buy order :", GetLastError()); return(0); // it end up giving me the error message //---- return(0); }

Off the bat:
for an OP_BUY you need to use Ask not Bid.
Make sure your lots are correct, meaning you have enough margin.
StopLoss should be NULL.
Should be gb10 >= 2.
Look at the journal tab and see if it lists an error.
thank you for the reply, i dont know why how can i make such mistakes, simply and easy guess i will have to keep learning :-) everything runs fine now
