simple expert advisor example

Hi,

I am new to mql.

In the simple expert advisor example in the book is a line that says if(total < 1)

should this not be if(total > 1)

It is confusing

Hi BillBrian


Now that I look at it closely, I agree.

Also, in the same "Orders accounting" block I see that the line testing OrderType() < 1, should be

if( OrderType() > 1 )

because OP_BUY = 0 & OP_SELL = 1, so values above this are pending orders.


I understanding it is confusing, but I think the book was a voluntary effort written by someone with English as their second language. This book was my bible for a while, so stick with.

the OrderType() > 1 sounds logic,

the other thing just doesn't

anyway, thanks for the verification
