I have been trying to program a News Trading EA for some time now. Below is a copy of what i have gotten so far. How the EA was supposed to work was that I would plug in the time to enter a trade and the amount of movement in a particle direction with which it would enter the trade and then close the trade when there is a 5pip movement in the negative direction. I ran this EA in my MT4 terminal bit was'nt opening any positions even if the specified time was hit. pls what do you think is the cause of this?
