Help, about basic variable question.
You need to declare the variable at the global program level (in the "header" of the advisor)

if(a==b) { my_price == ask; }
I think that you mean
if(a==b) { my_price = ask; }
if(c==d)
{
trade.Buy(......,my_price......);
} Why do you need the variable my_price? Why not just use ask?
if(c==d)
{
trade.Buy(......,ask......);
}

Because ask value is always changing. I want trade with my_price variable which is the value of when necessery conditions are met.

Yes, ask is always changing, but if you are placing a buy trade, the entry price has to be the current ask or you will get invalid price errors.

Hi, I have a basic question.
if(a==b) { my_price == ask; }// ask variable was defined earlier and it gives instant ask value of parity.
if(c==d) { trade.Buy(......,my_price......); }// I want to use my_price variable in this if fucntion. But of course I cant use it because my_price variable is not global variable. My question is how can I make my_price variable global in first if function. Is there any way to do that ?
