Hi does somebody could help me?


I want the EA to set a Pending Sell Stop Order when I open manually a Buy Market Order, why this code isnt working? 



// External

extern double LotSize = 0.1;

extern double StopLoss = 150;

extern double TakeProfit = 120;

extern double PendingPips = 30;

extern int MagicNumber = 123;


// Globals

int BuyTicket;

int SellTicket;

double UsePoint;

double PendingPrice;

double SellStopLoss;

double BuyStopLoss;

double SellStopTP;

double BuyStopTP;

int OrdersTotal;

int OrderType;

double OrderOpenPrice;


int start()

  {

  if (OrdersTotal = 1 && OrderSelect(1,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES) == OP_BUY)

   {

         // Calculando Ordem

         PendingPrice = OrderOpenPrice - (PendingPips * 0.01); //- 0.01 because its on a 2 decimal digits currency, would be 0.0001 for 4 and 5 digits

         SellStopLoss = PendingPrice + (StopLoss * 0.01);

         SellStopTP = PendingPrice - (TakeProfit * 0.01);

      

          SellTicket = OrderSend (Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,LotSize,PendingPrice,15,SellStopLoss,SellStopTP,"Sell Stop Order",MagicNumber,0,clrRed);

    }

   return(0);

   }

At least:

if (OrdersTotal == 1 && OrderSelect(0,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES) == OP_BUY)

But your code is really strange

 
  1. When you post code please use the CODE button (Alt-S)! (For large amounts of code, attach it.) Please edit your post.

  2. int OrdersTotal;
int OrderType;
double OrderOpenPrice;
    OrdersTotal, OrderType, and OrderOpenPrice are predefine functions. Your variables aren't going to do what you think. Does that even compile?

  3. if (OrdersTotal = 1 && OrderSelect(1,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES) == OP_BUY)
    Using OrdersTotal directly and/or no Magic number filtering on your OrderSelect loop means your code is incompatible with every EA (including itself on other charts and manual trading.)

  4.           SellTicket = OrderSend (Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,LotSize,PendingPrice,15,SellStopLoss,SellStopTP,"Sell Stop Order",MagicNumber,0,clrRed);
    Check your return codes for errors, report them and you would know why.

    Only those functions that return a value (e.g. iClose, MarketInfo, etc.) must you call ResetLastError before in order to check after.
