  1.    if("CCI" > 105)
   if("MACD" > Signal_MACD_PeriodSignal) //If the MACD is above the signal line we are going 
   if("EMA" > Signal_DEMA_Weight)                //If the candles are above the EMA

    When is a string ever greater than that int? Answer: always. “A” - “Z” is always greater than “0” - “9”.

  2.    trade.Buy( 
               0.1, //Lots
               NULL, //current symbol
               Ask,  //buy price
               Ask-30*_Point, //Stop Loss
               Ask+20*_Point, // Take Profit
               NULL //comments
              );

    You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid. Pending Buy Stop orders become market orders when hit and open at the Ask.

    1. Your buy order's TP/SL (or Sell Stop's/Sell Limit's entry) are triggered when the Bid / OrderClosePrice reaches it. Using Ask±n, makes your SL shorter and your TP longer, by the spread. Don't you want the specified amount used in either direction?

    2. Your sell order's TP/SL (or Buy Stop's/Buy Limit's entry) will be triggered when the Ask / OrderClosePrice reaches it. To trigger close to a specific Bid price, add the average spread.

    3. The charts show Bid prices only. Turn on the Ask line to see how big the spread is (Tools → Options (control+O) → charts → Show ask line.)
      Most brokers with variable spreads widen considerably at end of day (5 PM ET) ± 30 minutes. My GBPJPY shows average spread = 26 points, but average maximum spread = 134 (your broker will be similar).

    Use the debugger or print out your variables, including _LastError and prices and find out why. Do you really expect us to debug your code for you?
