Hello Nagisa, it works !
thank you so much for your help, i really apricate it !

i'm new to mt4/5
i have some coding skills, not enough tho

how can i learn mt5, are there good resources that u recommend ?

Thanks 

You're welcome, pipspiper.

There are a lot of programs registered in the "CodeBase" of this site, and I recommend that you modify them to your liking.

You can improve your programming skills by repeatedly modifying them. That's how I acquired my skills.
