buy and sell order

[samsungj4]

Hi,

I have written a small expert advisor.

If the price is above the moving average you buy and if the price is below moving average you sell.

But it only sells... what am I doing wrong?

If I remove the code to sell it only buys.

Help!

What is the value of order when unsuccessful... and try a print of GetLastError() ?
