The solution can be found if you just add the OrderSend buy and Sell lines in the expert here by pressing Alt + S. Otherwise, it may be like I can go to the pharmacy and buy a medicine. Good luck with.

 
thanks

You 'Sell' at Bid

You 'Buy' at ask

conclusion simplified;

//BUY
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.01,Ask,5,Bid-StopLoss*Point,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,NULL,1234,0,Green);

//Sell
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,0.01,Bid,5,Ask+StopLoss*Point,Bid-TakeProfit*Point,NULL,1234,0,Red);
 
Don't expect your idea to work though. If always buying is a looser, is always selling a winner?
