Is there a way of setting extern double TakeProfit = as tenkan-sen<kijun-sen

Setting it to 0 results in t/p with no price change.

Trying the code below gives me: ')' - wrong parameters count C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4\experts\ICHIMOKU_F1.mq4 (26, 77) on the OrderTakeProfit line.

extern double Lots = 1.0;
//----

int start()
   {
   double tenkan_sen=iIchimoku(NULL, 0, 9, 26, 52, MODE_TENKANSEN, 1);
   double kijun_sen=iIchimoku(NULL, 0, 9, 26, 52, MODE_KIJUNSEN, 1);
   int ticket,total,order_id;
// BUY
      total=OrdersTotal();
   if(total<1 && tenkan_sen>kijun_sen)
         {
         ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,0,"ichimoku",16384,0,Green);
         } 
// SELL 
   if(tenkan_sen<kijun_sen)   
         {
         ticket=OrderTakeProfit(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,Bid,3,0,"ichimoku",16384,0,Red);
         return(0);
         }     
  return(0);                     
   }    

You need to get into the habit of reading the documentation when you don't know the correct syntax for a function . . . . OrderTakeProfit returns the take profit value for the currently selected order. Yoo probably want OrderClose instead.

Is there a way of setting extern double TakeProfit = as tenkan-sen<kijun-sen ? No.

Shouldn't OrderClose :

{
OrderClose(order_id,1,Ask,3,Red);
return(0);

}

say Bid instead of Ask

ToBa:

Shouldn't OrderClose :

{
OrderClose(order_id,1,Ask,3,Red);
return(0);

}

say Bid instead of Ask

Depends on what type of Order it is . . . Buy at Ask Sell at Bid . . . a Buy is closed by Selling (at Bid) a Sell is closed by Buying (at Ask)
Ok last thing - the buy order (OrderSend) does not work without Ask+"number"*Point
ToBa:
Ok last thing - the buy order (OrderSend) does not work without Ask+"number"*Point

Of course it does . . . . you use 0 instead. So . . .

ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,0,  0,  "ichimoku",16384,0,Green);

You need all the parameters, the ones that have = in them are optional.

intOrderSend(
string symbol, int cmd, double volume, double price, int slippage, double stoploss, double takeprofit, string comment=NULL, int magic=0,datetime expiration=0, color arrow_color=CLR_NONE)

Hi, I'm also trying to write an expert advisor based on the Ichimoku Indicator. But when it's compiled, there are 14 warnings. Can someone please help me compile it better?
