Order Close

Thomas A. 2019.03.05 08:14

Hey guys,

Sorry to bump in here, I'm trying to set up my first robot, woohoo. So far i succeeded in defining inputs for the indicators which do display! Orders are being opened as well but I'm a bit struggling with defining code to close them. At this moment I would just like to close the trades when a buy trade is moving below the middle bollinger and sell trade is moving above. When I set this as below I see that "Some operator is missing".

if (Ask < BollingerMiddle) 

        {

         OrderClose(NULL,NULL,Bid,NULL,CLR_NONE)

         Print ("*Bollinger 1986 Close Buy Order");

        }

 

 

 if (Bid > BollingerMiddle)

        {

         OrderClose(NULL,NULL,Ask,NULL,CLR_NONE)

         Print ("*Bollinger 1986 Close Sell Order");

        }



 }

The full code is below.

Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? :(

Insearchfor: t "Some operator is missing".

   OrderClose(NULL,NULL,Bid,NULL,CLR_NONE) Print ("*Bollinger 1986 Close Buy Order");

Obviously something is missing there.
Don't use NULL, invalid symbol, invalid size, invalid slippage.
- You can use NULL in place of _Symbol only in those calls that the documentation specially says you can. iHigh does, MarketInfo does not. OrderSend does not.
- Don't use NULL (except for pointers where you explicitly check for it.) Use _Symbol and _Period, that is minimalist as possible and more efficient.
- Zero is the same as PERIOD_CURRENT which means _Period. Don't hard code numbers.
- MT4: No need for a function call with iHigh(NULL,0,s) just use the predefined arrays, i.e. High[].
Check your return codes for errors, and report them including GLE/LE. Don't look at it unless you have an error. Don't just silence the compiler, it is trying to help you. Don't post code that still has warnings.

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

Very rookie question... Problems related to iCustom OrderSend question.
