iHighest() and iLowest()

[DeanDeV]

Hi guys,

I have the below code for pending orders. I want it to place a buy stop X points above the highest point in the last few candles, and X amount below the lowest point in the last few candles. The orders aren't being sent at all, and I get OrderSend() 130; not sure why..? Please help.

 

double BuyPendingPrice=iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,90,1);
double SellPendingPrice=iLowest(NULL,0,MODE_LOW,90,1);

         int buyticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,Lotsize,BuyPendingPrice+(PendingPoints*Point),3,BuyPendingPrice-(Stoploss*Point),BuyPendingPrice+(Takeprofit*Point),"Buy stop pending order",MagicNumber,TimeCurrent()+((ExpirationTimeHours*60*60)+(ExpirationTimeMinutes*60)),clrBlue);
            if(buyticket>0) Print("Buy stop OrderSend() SUCCESS.");
            if(buyticket<0) Print("Buy stop OrderSend() FAILED." , GetLastError());
         
         int sellticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,Lotsize,SellPendingPrice-(PendingPoints*Point),3,SellPendingPrice+(Stoploss*Point),SellPendingPrice-(Takeprofit*Point),"Sell stop pending order",MagicNumber,TimeCurrent()+((ExpirationTimeHours*60*60)+(ExpirationTimeMinutes*60)),clrRed);
            if(sellticket>0) Print("Sell stop OrderSend() SUCCESS.");
            if(sellticket<0) Print("Sell stop OrderSend() FAILED." , GetLastError());

double SellPendingPrice=iLowest(NULL,0,MODE_LOW,90,1);

Read the documentation. iHighest returns an int iHighest - MQL4 Documentation

Okay thank you. Would you know how to get the highest price and lowest price a certain amount of candles back respectively?

double BuyPendingPrice=High[iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,90,1)] + some_point*Point;

Thank you kindly. Pretty obvious indeed.

Especially since val=High[val_index]; was in the iHighest - MQL4 Documentation

Thank you kindly. Pretty obvious indeed. Hi Dean,So did the code solve your issue?

Hi Dean,

So did it solve your code?

Yes, he did. Read the thread (and the documentation referenced).
