Newbie trying to figure out really simple problem

Hello, everyone,
I started learning how to program in MQL5 today and I'm trying to make a simple moving average cross expert advisor. It compiles without errors, but when I try to test it in the strategy tester it does not seem to work, it stays still. I'm not sure if the problem is in the code or in my strategy tester settings. Below is the code:


void OnTick()
  {
double mymovingaveragearray1 [], mymovingaveragearray2[],mymovingaveragearray3[];
int movingaveragedefinition1 = iMA (_Symbol,_Period, 05,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE);
int movingaveragedefinition2 = iMA (_Symbol,_Period, 75,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE);
int movingaveragedefinition3 = iMA (_Symbol,_Period, 85,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE);
ArraySetAsSeries (mymovingaveragearray1, true);
ArraySetAsSeries (mymovingaveragearray2, true);
ArraySetAsSeries (mymovingaveragearray3, true);
CopyBuffer(movingaveragedefinition1,0,0,3,mymovingaveragearray1);
CopyBuffer(movingaveragedefinition2,0,0,3,mymovingaveragearray2);
CopyBuffer(movingaveragedefinition3,0,0,3,mymovingaveragearray3);
if(
(mymovingaveragearray1[0]>mymovingaveragearray2[0])
&&(mymovingaveragearray1[0]>mymovingaveragearray3[0])
&&(mymovingaveragearray1[3]<mymovingaveragearray2[3])
&&(mymovingaveragearray1[3]<mymovingaveragearray3[3])
)
{Comment ("Buy");
}
if(
(mymovingaveragearray1[0]<mymovingaveragearray2[0])
&&(mymovingaveragearray1[0]<mymovingaveragearray3[0])
&&(mymovingaveragearray1[3]>mymovingaveragearray2[3])
&&(mymovingaveragearray1[3]>mymovingaveragearray3[3])
)
{Comment ("Sell");
}
  }


Thank you very much

read the documentaion, you have to split between oninit and ontick

You are probably talking about some broker, so contact them, we can't help you here.
