Thank you, that helps.

If it's not too much trouble, can you explain why my option doesn't work, the help says 0 and 0 - current symbol and current time frame???

Help! I'm making a trailing stop and I can't figure out where to put STEP for it. Please see....

if(OrdersTotal() > 0)

{

for(int pos = 0; pos < OrdersTotal(); pos ++)

{

OrderSelect(pos, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if(OrderMagicNumber() == Magic && OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderType() == OP_BUY &&

NormalizeDouble(Ask - sl, Digits) > NormalizeDouble(OrderStopLoss(), Digits) && NormalizeDouble(Ask - sl, Digits) < NormalizeDouble(Bid, Digits))

OrderModify(OrderTicket(), 0, Ask - sl, 0, 0, Green);

else if(OrderMagicNumber() == Magic && OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderType() == OP_SELL &&

NormalizeDouble(Bid + sl, Digits) < NormalizeDouble(OrderStopLoss(), Digits) && NormalizeDouble(Bid + sl, Digits) > NormalizeDouble(Ask, Digits))

OrderModify(OrderTicket(), 0, Bid + sl, 0, 0, Red);

}

there are the following dates:

trading sessions	time zone	DST on/of	session opening	migration to summer season			migration to winter season
				month	week	day	month	week	day
Tokyo	9	false (1)	9	-1	-1	-1	-1	-1	-1
London	0	true (0)	8	3	0 (env.)	0 (Sunday)	10	0 (env.)	0 (sunday)
New York	-5	true (0)	8	3	2	0 (Sunday)	11	1	0 (Sunday)

How can I populate array [tor.session][timezone][DST on/of][open][month][week][day][month][week][day] with these input parameters?

[Kamol Kurbonov]

We need to remove b value (-1) from newarray[a] , then set the new size of array newarray[a-b].

Please tell me how to do it

You go through the array and see the value of ArrayMove and ArrayResize. See example on this page.

An array is a union of elements with the same attributes (remember: forest array, dwelling array). you have different attributes: string + bool + integer. The solution is to describe a structure and an array of structures. Or 10 arrays.

trade sessions can be marked with an integer (e.g. i=1 (Tokyo, i=2 London). bool value will also return an integer (0 if tru. 1 if fals) Most importantly, all data types can be converted to a single type (double).

Hello. I wrote in my EA the calculation of the lot like this:

lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountBalance()*risk/(SL*MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_TICKVALUE)),2);

The purpose is to get the correct lot size regardless of the account currency and pair for the specified risk and stop loss. Risk is set as a percentage of losses when Stop Loss is triggered. Stop Loss SL in pips (where pips is the smallest possible change in the price of the pair). I am going to start this EA on a real account. But I have my doubts. If somebody from more experienced programmers tell me what kind of errors may occur, I will be very grateful.
