Profit target and Stop loss Alert

[Deleted] 2009.11.17 11:22

Hello,

I have a problem on my indicator that I have noted in the case of achieving Profit target and stop loss. How to modify code that notice was displayed only for a time?
For example: every 10 seconds
I tried using function : Sleep (), unfortunately without success.
Thank you for your help

double stop =AccountBalance()*(-Risk)/100;
double profit =AccountBalance()*(Risk)/100;
double floating_profit =AccountProfit();
{ 
  if(StrToDouble(floating_profit) <= stop) 

  { 
   if(Play_Sound) PlaySound("alert.wav");

      Alert("Warning price: Stopp-loss "+Symbol()+" "+Hour()+":"+Minute()+":"+Seconds());

    {
  if(StrToDouble(floating_profit) >= profit) {
      if(Play_Sound) PlaySound("alert.wav");
      
      Alert("Warning price: Profit-target "+Symbol()+" "+Hour()+":"+Minute()+":"+Seconds());
      
}}}}

   return(0);
  }

double stop =AccountBalance()*(-Risk)/100;
double profit =AccountBalance()*(Risk)/100;
double floating_profit =AccountProfit();
{ 
  if(StrToDouble(floating_profit) <= stop) 

...

Question 1: Why are you taking a double (floating_profit) converting it to a string (to be passed to StrToDouble) which will return the exact same doulble you started with?

Question 2: Stop is always less then zero, but floating_profit will not be, unless this trade is wiping out all profits from all previous trades. Shouldn't you be comparing to AccountEquity()-AccountBalance()

Thank you for your answer, I'm not a programmer, because code contains inaccuracies. Please help with programming of EA, indicator or script that would prove this.

The code used to the condition to be met, which is that the price is below a certain allowed percentage, activated the Alert function and PlaySound only once?
