Need help check this EA what is the problem

New comment
 

Hi all experts here, need your help

I created an EA based on price volatility. It will buy/sell if price jump up/down suddenly. When I compile, no error

but when I test in Strategy Tester, it fails to open any buy/sell order, it gives error 0 in error message

below is the code

you are welcome to modify the code to make it better

Close[0] is not real . . it is simply Bid . . Close[0] cannot actually exist, when bar 0 is actually closed it becomes Bar 1 . . . so if you really want Close[0] use Close[1] at the first tick of Bar 0 . . . otherwise use Bid
 
Gap is 15 . . . gap1min = Close[1] - Close[0]; then gap1min = gap1min*Digits; On a 5 digit broker for GBPUSD Digits will be 5 . . . so it is extremely unlikely that gap1min will ever be greater than 15 . . . maybe you meant to convert Gap to points . . . while you are at it you might want to adjust your code so it handles 4 and 5 digit Brokers . . .
 
this is crazy... I am new into coding and I think you got the variables mixed up. My advice to you is try to build something that's going to help you not, make trades for you.
