Can anyone take a look at this and tell me if i got the right set up for this EA just try to open two position a buy and a sell no particular price
You gave us the code...
However, you did not give entry specifications....
We need YOUR CODE versus WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANTED.
Do you understand???
Besides this, USELOT() is not included....
If you are not entering on specific prices, how are you entering...
SPORADIC RANDOM TIMING?????
thanks ckingher
what im trying to do right now is learn how is work.so all im trying to do is open a buy and a sell at any price as soon as EA opens on chart do i need something like start at next tick or what
Start is a special function that is called every tick(ish). You have problems with { missing on init() and start(). You also need return(0); at the end of each of these special functions. You should use Print() a lot when first coding to make sure it is doing what you think it should and you should use GetLastError() to test for any error codes.
