Hi, I am new to MQL4 programming. I am trying to add code to my EA using fractal. The condition is if there is NOT Up Fractal in last 4 bars , it should open BUY trade..Here code compiles without Error but it is NOT opening trade.. here's the code:

bool Upfractal()
 {
  int a;
  for(a=1;a<5;a++)
  {
  if(iFractals(NULL,0,MODE_UPPER,a)!=0)
  return(true);
  }
  return(false);
 }

void ManageOpen()
  {
   if(Upfractal()==false)
    {  
     OpenPosition(OP_BUY);
    }
  }

Regards.

Function is being called in if statement and it is getting executed now. Thanks.
