Mysql Signals Debug help please

Louis Stoltz 2014.01.29 18:32

I coded this mysql mql4 from scripts I found of these forums and I got it to work right.

I put this on AUDNZD Chart and started trading only the one pair but I have also other pairs that I want to trade and I don't want to open multiple charts and only use one because there too many pairs too open. So I want to trade multiple currencies on one chart so to save me time. I started debugging this and I cannot seem to get Print() to show in Journal and its not printing the two pairs in journal. So I don't know why its not opening the two pairs.

I load the same script on USDCHF and it works but why do I need to open two different charts? I also get no ordersend error or any indication whats going on.

bonechair: but why do I need to open two different charts? I also get no ordersend error or any indication whats going on.

Because you use SYMBOL specific values

OrderSend(mSymbol, OP_SELL, Lots, Bid, 3, mStopLoss, mTakeProfit, "Sell Order", mNumber, 0, Blue);
if(mType == "Buy" && OrderFind(mNumber) == true && Bid >= mClose)CloseOrder(glbOrderTicket);
OrderClose(Ticket, OrderLots(), Bid, 0);

You don't filter by magic number
```
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
```
You don't test your return codes What are Function return values ? How do I use them ? - MQL4 forum so you don't know what's going on.

Louis Stoltz 2014.01.29 19:11 #2

Oh no I missed that thanks for spotting that.

Louis Stoltz 2014.01.29 19:18 #3

Any Idea why my journal is spitting out no errors and Print is not working? Journal would have said something like Ordersend error 130

Why aren't you testing the return value and reporting the error ?

What are Function return values ? How do I use them ?

Louis Stoltz 2014.01.29 20:16 #5

Ok I can do that, it works without it in strategy tester.

Does it also give you all the values of the variables you need to determine the cause of the error ? like Bd, Ask, Open price, type, position size, Lot Step, Min Lot, etc, etc ? Print what you might need, then when you need it you will have it. . . .

Sorry for replying so late, I dont get alerts on these new messages.

Uhm print does not debug for me, I had to use Comment. Not sure why this code is not printing, must be dll or something, Im not sure.

Print() prints to the Experts tab for live/demo and to the Strategy Tester journal tab for Strategy Tester.

Louis Stoltz 2014.02.02 09:04 #9

No problem in Strategy Tester but when I go live I dont see Print in Journal. Maybe the live journal restricted on mine.
