Hello traders and mql4 coders,

Can anyone help me in this; I've coded a very simple code to open trades in both directions (Buy/Sell) when the price hits the grid level which is predefined in the EA, however, the EA opens orders each time the price hits the grid line.

The question is: How to make the EA opens trade one time only when the price hits the gridline (if there's no trade open in the same gridline)?

Thanks

  2. The answer is: Check for open orders near your gridline first. 

  3. if((Bid == gridstart + i*step))
    Doubles are rarely equal. Understand the links in:
