Replace all Ordersend function in your code inside this structure which you have
or simply put this in start function after { :

if(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SPREAD)>12)
{
  return;
}

if your start function is not return void type:

if(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SPREAD)>12)
{
  return 0;
}

BTW, it is very bad Idea to stop trading when spread is over than a number

Hi, I asked for "Help" .... it means make it easier for (someone) to do something by offering one's services or resources...And i never asked anyone to code a full program for me.

I know that there are some good people out there who are willing to help me and they are doing it too...(Because, sharing knowledge is the best thing you can do in your life).

Anyway...thanks for giving me links to study about mt4. i will do it.

Be very careful with this if your EA manages or closes your trades as well as opens them. That code cripples your EA whenever spread > 12

Also be clear about the difference between points and pips
