What type of "help" are u expecting?

What type of "help" are u expecting?

i wrote a code that if 

iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,1)>20)

it should place a sell order,but i discovered that it also places sell orders even when the value of stochastics main indicator on the previous bar is below 20

please what could be wrong?

[...] please what could be wrong?
Post your code.
  
iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,1)>20)

means above 20 

iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,1)>20)

means the previous bar

Post your code.

pls find the code attached

  1. double stoch1=iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,0);
double stocha1=iStochastic(NULL,0,14,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,2);
double stoch2=iStochastic(NULL,0,5,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,0);
double stocha2=iStochastic(NULL,0,14,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,2);

    stoch1 always equals stoch2

    stocha1 always equals stocha2

  2. if(wert1!=EMPTY_VALUE && wert1>wert2)signal=1;
if(wert3!=EMPTY_VALUE && wert3<wert4)signal=2;
if(traden==1 && signal==1 && OrderAngaben[2]<=0 && ma1>ma2 && macd1>macd2 && val1>val2 
&& ((STOCH1>STOCH2 && STOCHA1<=STOCHA2 && Close[0]<High[1]) || (STOCH1<=STOCH2 && stoch1>stoch2 && High[0]>=High[1])) 
&& Low[0]>Low[1] && Open[1]<Close[1] && STOCH1<80)
    I suggest you simplify and self document your logic, so you can understand what you wrote. If it doesn't make sense when you write it out, your logic is wrong.
    bool buying     = (wert1!=EMPTY_VALUE && wert1>wert2),
     openOrders = OrderAngaben[2] > 0,
     maRising   = ma1 > ma2,
     macdRising = macd1 > macd2,
     stochCross = (STOCH1>STOCH2 && STOCHA1<=STOCHA2),
     higherHigh = High[0] >= High[1],
     higherLow  =  Low[0] > Low[1],
     upCandle   = Close[1] >= Open[1];
if(traden==1 && buying && (!openOrders) && maRising && macdRising && val1>val2 
&& (stochCross || (STOCH1<=STOCH2 && stoch1>stoch2 && higherHigh))
&& higherLow && upCandle
  3. Your time begin/end could be simple
    int         DOW = TimeDayOfWeek(now),   /* https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/127483
// reports DayOfWeek() always returns 5 in the tester. No refresh?*/
            DayMask = 1 << DOW;
//                      #define DAYS_MAX    0x3F    // 1<<6-1=63. (S-F)
//extern int      Days.Mask                   =  55;      // Not Wed
if (Days.Mask & DayMask == 0){  EA.status="Day="+DOW;       return(0); }
//extern double   TradeHr.UTC.Start           =   7.3;    // London-1
//extern double   TradeHr.UTC.End             =  12.9;    // NY open
int secStart    = 3600*TradeHr.UTC.Start,
    secEnd      = 3600*TradeHr.UTC.End,
    hrBeg       = (now-secStart+86400)%86400,
    hrEnd       = (now-secEnd  +86400)%86400;
if (hrBeg > hrEnd){     EA.status="HR"+DoubleToStr(hrBeg/3600.-24,2);
                                                            return(0);  }

  4.  if(Digits==2)geteiltdurch=100.0;
 if(Digits==3)geteiltdurch=100.0;
 if(Digits==4)geteiltdurch=10000.0;
 if(Digits==5)geteiltdurch=10000.0;
    EA's should adjust TP, SL, and slippage for 5 digit brokers:
    //++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
double  pips2points,    // slippage  3 pips    3=points    30=points
        pips2dbl;       // Stoploss 15 pips    0.0015      0.00150
int     Digits.pips;    // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips)
int init(){
    if (Digits == 5 || Digits == 3){    // Adjust for five (5) digit brokers.
                pips2dbl    = Point*10; pips2points = 10;   Digits.pips = 1;
    } else {    pips2dbl    = Point;    pips2points =  1;   Digits.pips = 0; }
    // OrderSend(... Slippage.Pips * pips2points, Bid - StopLossPips * pips2dbl

  5. for(int i=0; i <= OrdersTotal(); i++)
{
 if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==true)
 {
  if(OrderMagicNumber()==Magicnumber)
   {
    OrderSelect(OrdersTotal()... is wrong. 0 .. OrdersTotal()-1. And remember if there are EAs on other pairs, you must always count down when modifying.
    for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1 ; i >= 0; i--) if (
    OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS)
&&  OrderMagicNumber()==Magicnumber){

  1. stoch1 always equals stoch2

    stocha1 always equals stocha2

thanks a lot for the suggestions, i'm very grateful.
