Market order. did the following, if(Mas_Tip[0]>=1 && Ask<=OrderOpenPrice()) CloseBay(); doesn't work.

I don't understand very well from this piece of code. First, what kind of array is Mas_Tip[0]? Then do the OrderOpenPrice() and CloseBay() functions work correctly?

This is Bay Order Array, how do I write close order if Ask is bigger than Bay Order?

This is an Array Bay order, how to prescribe closing an order if Ask is larger than the Bay order

Use Print to check if you got the price of the open order correctly.

Print(OrderOpenPrice());

And I don't understand why you need an order array if you can get it by brute force and comparisons.

I understand you want to get the order type from the array, how the array gets this value is not very clear to me and why you are comparing it >=1 if it's either 0 or 1.

You have a clear problem with the array. Find a normal function for getting an open order.

I'm not psychic, and we'll be chatting like this for a long time)

CloseBay() definitely won't work, already at compile time.

When passing arguments to a double function, the dll shows rubbish, although this was not the case before, although if you pass an array element High[0] everything is fine.

Hi!

I downloaded today the mt4setup.exe file. (from the official site)

The file -surprisingly- installs the mt5 on the my pc. What is it? How can I install mt4?

Thanks!
