do you have a magic number on your EA?

control it with a magic number not a symbol ( without symbol )

   return(total);
  }


This is calling a sub-routine that doesn't exist:

PrintInfoToChart();



This will throw an error because of the different variable names:

string msymbols="";     if( 0>StringFind(mysymbols,OrderSymbol()) )

I've got an EA that runs on many currency pairs/charts, and sometimes 2 or more charts will trigger trades at nearly the exact same time...

i would like to add condition to my EA to allow open 1 order only when EA works at multiple pairs .

i have found that script but it doesn't work 

could you please help ?

  1. So do that. Add a test.

  2. Do you understand what that script does? It doesn't check for 1 order. You could fix it as Max showed, it still won't do what you want

  3. Help you with what? You haven't stated a problem, you stated a want. Show us your attempt (using the CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.
