What is it?
iOpen(m_symbol.Name(), 15, 1)
Have you read the help ?
double iOpen( const string symbol, // Symbol ENUM_TIMEFRAMES timeframe, // Period int shift // Shift );
What is it?
if((iOpen(m_symbol.Name(), 15, 2) - iClose(m_symbol.Name(), 15, 2)) > 0) // 2nd candle before current must be bearish { { m_need_open_buy=true; return; }
15 is the Period_M15. I want the EA to only look for the signal in the M15 timeframe.
Have you read the help? (Note, I point out to you for the SECOND time that you DO NOT READ the help). There are no '1' ... '15' - the timeframe is set using ENUM_TIMEFRAMES
PERIOD_CURRENT, PERIOD_M1,PERIOD_M2,PERIOD_M3, PERIOD_M4,PERIOD_M5,PERIOD_M6, PERIOD_M10,PERIOD_M12,PERIOD_M15, PERIOD_M20,PERIOD_M30,PERIOD_H1, PERIOD_H2,PERIOD_H3,PERIOD_H4, PERIOD_H6,PERIOD_H8,PERIOD_H12, PERIOD_D1,PERIOD_W1,PERIOD_MN1

Yes yes i read the help and changed the script to ENUM_TIMEFRAMES. I forgot to mention that. But thank you for the response
Isn't in this case the "if" statement has to state the first candle before current, which must be bullish?
if((iOpen(m_symbol.Name(), PERIOD_15, 1) - iClose(m_symbol.Name(), PERIOD_15, 1)) > 0) // 1st candle before current must be bullish
So that if (first candle from current is bullish and second candle from current is bearish),
execute a buy at the open of current candle.
Like this:
if((iOpen(m_symbol.Name(), PERIOD_15, 1) - iClose(m_symbol.Name(), PERIOD_15, 1)) < 0) && //1st candle must be bullish if((iOpen(m_symbol.Name(), PERIOD_15, 2) - iClose(m_symbol.Name(), PERIOD_15, 2)) > 0) //2nd candle must be bearish { { m_need_open_buy=true; return; }

Drop the 'm_need_open_buy' variable and the 'm_need_open_sell' variable from the code.i have dropped 'm_need_open_buy' variable and the 'm_need_open_sell' variable from the code
Its compiling with no errors. I am just not sure yet of the condition i added (Candle bar 1)
void OnTick() { //--- double Ask=NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK),_Digits); // calculate the Ask price double Bid=NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits); // calculate the Bid price string signal =""; // Create a string for the signal int digits =(int)SymbolInfoInteger(_Symbol,SYMBOL_DIGITS); // number of decimal places double point =SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_POINT); // point double SellSL =Bid-InpStopLossPts*point; // unnormalized SL value SellSL =NormalizeDouble(SellSL,digits); // normalizing Stop Loss double SellTP =Bid+InpTakeProfitPts*point; // unnormalized TP value SellTP =NormalizeDouble(SellTP,digits); // normalizing Take Profit double BuySL =Ask-InpStopLossPts*point; // unnormalized SL value BuySL =NormalizeDouble(BuySL,digits); // normalizing Stop Loss double BuyTP =Ask+InpTakeProfitPts*point; // unnormalized TP value BuyTP =NormalizeDouble(BuyTP,digits); // normalizing Take Profit //--- work only at the time of the birth of new bar datetime time_0=iTime(m_symbol.Name(),Period(),0); if(time_0==m_prev_bars) return; m_prev_bars=time_0; //--- Condition for opening BUY position //--- check volume before OrderSend to avoid "not enough money" error (CTrade) double free_margin_check=m_account.FreeMarginCheck(m_symbol.Name(), ORDER_TYPE_BUY, m_symbol.LotsMin(), m_symbol.Ask()); double margin_check=m_account.MarginCheck(m_symbol.Name(), ORDER_TYPE_BUY, m_symbol.LotsMin(), m_symbol.Ask()); if(free_margin_check>margin_check) if((iOpen(m_symbol.Name(), PERIOD_M15, 1) - iClose(m_symbol.Name(), PERIOD_M15, 1)) < 0) //1st candle must be bullish if((iOpen(m_symbol.Name(), PERIOD_M15, 2) - iClose(m_symbol.Name(), PERIOD_M15, 2)) > 0) //2nd candle must be bearish { if(InpPrintLog) Print(__FILE__," ",__FUNCTION__,", OK: ","Signal BUY"); m_trade.Buy(m_symbol.LotsMin(),m_symbol.Name(),m_symbol.Ask(),BuySL,BuyTP); } else m_prev_bars=0; //--- }
If you are looking for a condition only at the moment of the birth of a new bar, why are you doing this AT EVERY TICK?
double Ask= NormalizeDouble ( SymbolInfoDouble ( _Symbol , SYMBOL_ASK ), _Digits ); // calculate the Ask price double Bid= NormalizeDouble ( SymbolInfoDouble ( _Symbol , SYMBOL_BID ), _Digits ); // calculate the Bid price string signal = "" ; // Create a string for the signal int digits =( int ) SymbolInfoInteger ( _Symbol , SYMBOL_DIGITS ); // number of decimal places double point = SymbolInfoDouble ( _Symbol , SYMBOL_POINT ); // point double SellSL =Bid-InpStopLossPts*point; // unnormalized SL value SellSL = NormalizeDouble (SellSL,digits); // normalizing Stop Loss double SellTP =Bid+InpTakeProfitPts*point; // unnormalized TP value SellTP = NormalizeDouble (SellTP,digits); // normalizing Take Profit double BuySL =Ask-InpStopLossPts*point; // unnormalized SL value BuySL = NormalizeDouble (BuySL,digits); // normalizing Stop Loss double BuyTP =Ask+InpTakeProfitPts*point; // unnormalized TP value BuyTP = NormalizeDouble (BuyTP,digits); // normalizing Take Profit
