Hello!!
I'm initiating in programming in MT4 and as such starting with a very simple code using SMAs and simply trying to open a BUY and then closing it (code attached).
But when I do backtesting (.png attached) [1] the order is being placed in the wrong position and [2] the order never closes.
Could someone help me resolving these issues?
Thanks!!!
