Open parenthesis expected

New comment
 

I'm getting this error with this piece of code:

double StopLoss=NormalizeDouble(OrderGetDouble(ORDER_PRICE_OPEN)-(OrderGetDouble(ORDER_TP)-OrderGetDouble(ORDER_PRICE_OPEN))*(AutoStopLoss/100),Digits);

But I don't see the mistake, anyone can help?

You're using Digits as a function but without the parameter parentheses. You can use either Digits() or _Digits to get the number of decimal digits determining the accuracy of price of the current chart symbol.

Ok, I solved but thank you for your reply.

Of course you can't. Make your code readable.

Are your books one column but two feet wide? No because that is unreadable. They are 6 inches, sometimes two columns, so you can read it easily. So should be your code. I'm not going to go scrolling (or moving my eyes) back and forth trying to read it. Don't copy and paste code, write self documenting code.

   double OP = OrderGetDouble(ORDER_PRICE_OPEN);
   double TP = OrderGetDouble(ORDER_TP);
   double SL = OP-(TP-OP)*(AutoStopLoss/100);
double StopLoss=NormalizeDouble(SL,Digits);
With that you know the problem is only the last line and can see the column with the error.

 please I'm getting this error in my code yet I can't find where the error is from.


 {

  double  biggerMa = iMA(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,50,0,MODE_SMA,0,1);

  

  double smallerMa = iMA(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,20,0,MODE_EMA,0,1);

  

   

  if smallerMa > biggerMa {Print(OrderOpenPrice)} 

  else

   {Print(OrderClose < smallerMa)};

  

  if smallerMa < biggerMa {Print(OrderOpenPrice)}

  else

   {Print(OrderClose > smallerMa)};


     double  OrderOpenPrice();

 

  if(OrderSelect(10, SELECT_BY_POS)==true) 

    Print("open price for the order 10 ",OrderOpenPrice()); 

  else 

    Print("OrderSelect returned the error of ",GetLastError());

Do you really expect an answer? There are no mind readers here and our crystal balls are cracked. Always post all relevant code (using Code button) or attach the source file. If you can figure out what is wrong with line 43. Post your code.

Always show all relevant code. Also show the error log and identify the lines with the errors.

However, if your code was generated with ChatGPT, then we can't help you.

interesting comment, why can't help if gpt generated the code ?

 
@jyh28 #:interesting comment, why can't help if gpt generated the code ?

Because ChatGPT produces horrible code, mixing MQL4 and MQL5 and mixing EA with Indicator code. The result is a mess that cannot be fixed.

Also, since you don't know how code, you will not understand the advice given, nor will you know how to apply it.

So, either learn to code or hire a "human" to code it for you.
