Closeing Problems, Please help - page 2

 
Huckleberry:
if (1.4321 - 1.4361 - (20*2) <= 0), I'm sorry, but I do not understand.
SL=1.4361-(20*2) the stop loss value
OrderClosePrice() or Bid (Buy) or Ask(Sell) is the current market value.
You want to close when the current market (1.4321) is at or below (buy) the SL. That occurs when Bid-SL <= 0
When Bid-SL > 0, that is the initial condition.

Hi WHRoeder
Thanks for getting back. Confused in the way the expression was written. With my tunnel vision, I was concentrating on a the sell side, with an expression that had the '=' sign located on the left of the expression. I will work with this and get back. Thank you. The time and effort you share has been more than generous.
Cheers

Hi WHRoeder

Just to help keep you up to date. I edited the reply earlier.

I have also inserted the expression into the program. There are so many ways to interpret the same idea.
Thank you for pointing out the latest one. But behold, this expression did not change the out come.
It is as though, the program never looks at the condition. Maybe it does not look beyond the 'for' statement.
I am looking back again at the codeing.
Thanks for everything.
