My MQL5 EA is not giving any trades.

ChiefDark Rakesh 2022.01.26 13:37

Hi Guys,

I have been learning MQL5 for about 30 days. I have been trying to write an EA as a learning process. I have been facing this problem , My trade always sends a requote. I dont really know how to solve this problem. Please help me.

Screenshot and codes Sell codes are shown below :

double TakeProfit = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits) - reward * MathAbs(NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits) - StopLossValue);
                        if(NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits) > (EntryValue))
                              {
                                    if(Trade.Sell(0.01,_Symbol,NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits),SlowEmaValue,TakeProfit))
                                    {
                                       reset = "fasle";
                                    }
                                    else
                                    {
                                        reset = "fasle";
                                    }
                              }
                  }

Allow a slippage in your code.

Normally people use 10 as default value of slippage.

ChiefDark Rakesh 2022.01.26 15:08 #2

After reading from the contents , I even tried adding deviations like this. Still not working. Please help.

 Trade.SetDeviationInPoints(Deviation);
 Trade.SetExpertMagicNumber(MAGICNUMBER);
 if(Trade.Sell(0.01,_Symbol,NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits),StopLossValue,TakeProfit))

They all (including iCustom) return a handle (an int). You get that in OnInit. In OnTick/OnCalculate (after the indicator has updated its buffers), you use the handle, shift and count to get the data.

William Roeder,

Thank you very much for the advices. I have read all. And I will follow the instructions next time. And about the third part of your comment, You were giving a hint on using handle, shift and count. Were you referencing those to my problem ?

The code seems to work in the tester with the visual mode set to off. I dont know how to rectify it yet. Unlike other codes that I have tested, This code seems to show two lines :- one red line above the candle and a grey line below each candle. I dont know how to remove it . Please help.

red line is the ASK price

grey line is BID PRICE

If you right click on chart, and go to properties, you will see a checkbox to hide/show the ASK line.. Using that check box you can hide the ASK line.
