Bollinger Band Expert Advisor

 

Hello Everyone, 


I've checked a tutorial to perform a bollinger band expert advisor on youtube (Coding a Simple Bollinger Band Expert Advisor in MQL4 - Start to Finish - YouTube). This tutorial is for MQL4, so I tried to translate it to MQL5 but now I have the 'undeclared identifier" on a ' if ' condition statement with a function. Do you know why ? Here's the MQL5 code :

//TPSL :: Take Profit Stop Loss Deviations

bool IsNewbar()

It's B vs. b.

Function names (and MQL generally) are case-sensitive.

I didn't check the rest of the code.

Wow I was too much implicated, I didn't see that... Thank you so much for your answer !
