Otto ...now you can use it :-)

It makes trades for me.

[Otto Pauser]

That's quite a response. Thank you!

I just wanted to point out that the authors of the articles should take care of them.

All you have to do is

CheckTradingPermission()

and all the MQL5xxx rubbish and it will work;)

Mmmhhh ... yes, we know.

And I gave it some expression.

Something like that works, you notice it in other places, even if nobody says anything about it :-)

My intention was to reprogramme the MarketOrders into PendigOrders.

Whoever can use it, here is the code how it works.

This is not a useful EA but just an example of how to calculate it. I hope it is correct, it works in the tester.

It's also not my real programming style, but kept very simple.

#include <Trade\Trade.mqh> CTrade Trade;

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
input int    inp_Dist     =  120;   // Distance pending order (points)
input int    inp_Stop     =  125;   // SL (points)
input int    inp_Take     =  150;   // TP (points)
input double inp_Volume   = 0.01;   // Volume

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double distPend = inp_Dist*_Point;
double distStop = inp_Stop*_Point;
double distTake = inp_Take*_Point;

void OnTick()
{
   if(done)
      return;
   
   ask=SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK);
   bid=SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID);

   levelBuy =NormalizeDouble(bid-distPend,_Digits);
   levelSell=NormalizeDouble(ask+distPend,_Digits);

   stopBuy  =NormalizeDouble(levelBuy -distStop,_Digits);
   stopSell =NormalizeDouble(levelSell+distStop,_Digits);

   takeBuy  =NormalizeDouble(levelBuy +distTake,_Digits);
   takeSell =NormalizeDouble(levelSell-distTake,_Digits);

   SellLimit();
   BuyLimit();

   done=true;
}

bool BuyLimit()
{
   //return(Trade.BuyLimit (inp_Volume,levelBuy ));
   return(Trade.BuyLimit (inp_Volume,levelBuy ,_Symbol,stopBuy,takeBuy ));
}

bool SellLimit()
{
   //return(Trade.SellLimit(inp_Volume,levelSell));
   return(Trade.SellLimit(inp_Volume,levelSell,_Symbol,stopSell,takeSell));
}
