Good day! I apologize if I'm off topic, but I'm exhausted - it's a cry from the heart! I tried to use it in MQL4 and tried to figure it out myself, but it didn't work. I dug the Internet and tried to use MQL4, but nothing works. This indicator should show the difference in pips between two CFDs as a line. I.e. (bid+ask)/2 of the first instrument minus (bid+ask)/2 of the second instrument, respectively, by candlesticks. The instrument names should be set in the settings of the indicator there should be two of them. The end part of the line should change with every new tick. And the quotes should be synchronized by time, not by candle (different number of candles per day BRN and CL). Please help, good people! I am grateful in advance.

Hello. Please help. Places orders and does nothing else. No errors.

Why would that be:

for(i=1;i<=OrdersTotal();i++) //может с OrdersTotal()-1 и до 0 разумнее было бы?
{
 if(OrderSelect(i-1,SELECT_BY_POS)==true)
 {
  if(OrderSymbol()!=Symb)continue;
  if(OrderType()==4) //тип байстоп - 4
   OrderTicketBuy=OrderTicket();
   if(OrderType()==6) //тип селлстоп - 5
   OrderTicketSell=OrderTicket();
   
  }
}

Read about the types of orders, and the rest of the manual should not be on a self-twist, first read at least 10 times.

There is no Bid and Ask in history, there are prices described by MqlRates and indicators are drawing by history.

BUYSTOP and SELLSTOP are set, and they have types 4 and 6 respectively.

I do not understand what I mean about OrdersTotal():" from -1 to 0"?

BUYSTOP and SELLSTOP are set, and they have types 4 and 6 correspondingly.

*I don't understand what OrdersTotal() means:" from -1 to 0"?

The bystop type is 4, sellstop is 5 and types are numbered starting from zero. With type 6, it seems only deposit/withdrawal, and even that is not documented anywhere.

*Not "from -1 to 0", but "looping from OrdersTotal()-1 to 0".

Further, the OrderSelect execution must be checked, don't be lazy, you would understand from the execution error that the tickets are incorrect.

In general, all trading functions MUST be checked for error-free execution, so do not be lazy to check. And the results returned by other functions can and must be checked.

There is no Bid and Ask in history, there are prices described by MqlRates, and indicators are drawn on history.

Then just three figures: first figure: first instrument price(bid+ask)/2; second figure: second instrument price(bid+ask)/2; third figure:(bid+ask)/2 of the first instrument minus (bid+ask)/2 of the second instrument. Without any history, just on ticks at a given moment of time.

Actually I wanted to do something like this: http://www.mister-forex.ru/indikator-ma-arbitrage/

Only without any by, sell. Just an indicator in form of a line.

The buystop type is 3, sellstop is 5; the order type is numbered from zero. With type 6, only depositing/withdrawing seems to be different, and even that is not documented anywhere.

*Not "from -1 to 0", but "loop from OrdersTotal()-1 to 0".

Further, the execution of OrderSelect should have been checked, don't be lazy, it would have been clear from the execution error that the tickets were wrong.

In general, all trading functions MUST be checked to perform them without errors, so do not be lazy to check. And the results returned by the other functions can and should be checked.

You are confused by the numbers!

The type of operation for theOrderSend() function. Can be any of the following values:

Constant	Value	Description
OP_BUY	0	Buy
OP_SELL	1	Sell
OP_BUYLIMIT	2	BUY LIMIT pending order
OP_SELLLIMIT	3	Pending SELL LIMIT order
OP_BUYSTOP	4	Pending BUY STOP order
OP_SELLSTOP	5	Pending SELL STOP order

My bad, I stand corrected

Type 3 is a bystop, sellstop is 5; the numbering of types starts from zero. With type 6, only depositing/withdrawing seems to be limited and even that is not documented anywhere.

Ahh, pointed it out wrong, yes).

Re-checked one by one. Only the sell ticket was wrong. Checked the rest too: orders, comparisons, modification. But, still a stupor after placing orders. Everything was working separately.

The condition to enter if(MA=MA1) is not correct? Because =, is not a condition sign, the correct sign is "==", however if I spelled it that way the Expert Advisor does nothing at all. The other variants: ">=", "<=", "<", ">" that and "=" lead to placing orders and further stupor.

My bad, I'll make it up to you.

That's okay, it happens! But you can't see your luck without mistakes! ;)
