Stoploss an alternative methods
double StopLong=iFractals(NULL,0,MODE_LOWER,1); double StopShort=iFractals(NULL,0,MODE_UPPER,1);
I can't remember how many closed bars fractals need, but you should not rely on shift 1 having a useable value.
You should maybe loop back until you find an actual fractal and then you will need to check that it can be used as a stoploss (ie it may be higher than the entry for a long which is obviously no use).

Thank you Keith but it's the same than I tried
What is the difference?
I coded it but I don't take the SL
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,NLots,Ask,Slippage*Point,StopLong,Ask+(TakeProfit*Point),"......................);
}//end OPEN BUY
SL=0???'

Hi guys,
I am a newrier to MQL 4 but I have already coded some EA and testing.
But I am not a professional or expert programmer so I need to an help.
I would like to know how I can set the STOP LOSS for sell and buy market order using a fractal.
I meanI would like to have a STOPLOSS= fractals or example SL= highest/lowest into x bar - atr ...
I tried using this code but it doesn't work: this is the error Testing pass stopped due to a critical error in the EA
double StopLong=iFractals(NULL,0,MODE_LOWER,1);
double StopShort=iFractals(NULL,0,MODE_UPPER,1);
Then for the open trade
......
{OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,.1,Ask,Slippage*Point,StopLong,Ask+TPLong*Point,"EA204080_Long",MagicNumber,0,Blue);}
..................
{ OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,.1,Bid,Slippage*Point,StopShort,Bid-TPShort*Point,"EA204080_Short",MagicNumber,0,Green);}
