Sorry qjol:
Like I said I am a newbie to this forum.
I am still trying to get Tradestation Easylanguage out of my head, and try to get my head around some of the new stuff mt4 has changed to over the past few new releases.
Thank you for your reply and your input.

Hi to all.
I am a newbie to this forum.
But have been stumbling through trading since 2007.
I have had a few ea's programmed for me in the past and have made a few simple ones myself.
I've had a go at combining elements and the ea's have worked in the past.
I have been trading my strategy on 4 pairs with pretty small profits daily for the past 2 years.
What I would like to do is fully automate the manual process.
As I am loosing quite a few pips waiting for mt4 to accept the trade, close the window confirmation and re-open the next to place the trade.
I have most of my code done to cover the Lot size and the Hidden TP and SL.
But I have no idea of how to code the Order Entry according to the most important part.
I am looking for some code to look at the previous Hour Candle Close Direction.
And upon the close of the 11:00 Hour Candle.
Open a trade in the direction of the 11:00 Candle, upon the opening of the 12:00 Candle.
eg.
11:00 Hour Candle Closes is in a SELL Direction,
Open a trade to sell at the opening of the 12:00 candle.
Could some one please give me a guiding had with this, Please ?
Below is the code that I already have for the Hidden TP and SL and Time.
( This is for my pepperstone account, it is in 5 digits)
I eagerly await you input.
P.S. I am also looking for a hedging function to possibly add to this strategy as well.
Kind regards,
