Save new price when "if" statemet is executed

New comment
 

Hello

I would need some help please.

How can i save the Takeprofit Level ? I dont want to put it in the "OrderSend". Because i need it for something else.


What happens here is that when the OrderSend is executed in the Comment I can see the Value allthough it lasts only until new tick.


How can I save that value ?


Also, seems that "double" doesn´t return more than 4 digits, is there another way for 5 digits ?


Thanks

void OnTick()

{

double OpeningPrice;

double Takeprofit;

   if (OrdersTotal() ==0)

       {   

               OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,NULL,NULL,NULL);

               OpeningPrice = Ask;

               Takeprofit=OpeningPrice+100*_Point;

       }

      

      Comment ("T/P is: ",Takeprofit);

             

}

Hello Keith, Thanks for the answer,


Tried to edit and paste it with the commands ALT+S as you told me and doesnt paste anything...


So... Do you know how to save the value of the price when executed ?

    It works just fine do it again. (Go here and click on the image.) Please edit your (original) post and use the CODE button (Alt-S)! (For large amounts of code, attach it.)

    Floating-point has an infinite number of decimals, it's your not understanding floating-point and that some numbers can't be represented exactly. (like 1/10.)

    If you want to see the correct number of digits, convert it to a string with the correct/wanted accuracy. You don't want 5.

    OrderSend is not executed in a Comment; that is babel. What happens is
    1. The If starts.
    2. The OrderSend is executed.
    3. You update the variable Takeprofit.
    4. The if ends.
    5. You print the variable.
    6. On the next tick, the variable is zero (not using strict), the if is false and does nothing, and you print zero.

  4. Perhaps you should read the manual. MQL4 Reference → Language Basics → Variables → Static Variables and Global Variables

  5. Always use strict. Fixing the warnings will save you hours of debugging, but you must understand the differences.
