Any questions for newbies on MQL4, help and discussion on algorithms and codes

Hi all, I am facing such a problem:

I open a trade without stoploss and takeprofit:

OrderSend("EURUSD",OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,0,0,0,"",Magic,0,Red);

I want to close this order.

OrderClose(Magic,OrderOpenPrice(),Ask,0,Red);

I get this error: OrderClose error 131

If instead ofOrderOpenPrice() I point 0.1 or OrderLots() there is an error: OrderClose error 138

What's the problem?

Judging by the documentation, it's very hard to write a much wackier close.

bool  OrderClose(
   int        ticket,      // номер ордера
   double     lots,        // количество лотов
   double     price,       // цена закрытия
   int        slippage,    // максимальное проскальзывание
   color      arrow_color  // цвет
   );

Instead of ticket written magik, instead of volume written open price. Read the documentation and feel free to look into it more often when writing code.

I need to disable autoscroll and offset (chart properties CHART_AUTOSCROLL and CHART_SHIFT respectively) and then use ChartNavigate().

Greetings all! I'm a newbie, trying to create an EA. I wrote a simple one to see how it would work. When a signal appears, the alert does not work. I do not know what is the error. I do not know what exactly the error is.

Regards Andrew.

Is it working! Do you check it in the tester?

That's what I thought, for some reason.

No, I haven't figured out the tester yet.

I have compiled the Expert Advisor and I am using it on a minute chart. The cloud changes colour but the alert window does not open. Could it be a software error?

Thank you!

Hello everyone, here is the situation: I open an order with a certain TP and OD. but OD triggers and a second order opens at the OD price of the first order in the opposite direction (OD is equal to the number of pips lost on the first order). In the case of a secondary SL, the third order should be opened in the opposite direction to the second order with the price equal to the value of the second order (Stop loss). Question: How to make this cascade of opening these three orders?

[Roman Sharanov]

Can you tell me if the function of closing all orders opened by the EA on the symbol is correct?

void OrderCloseAll(double close_price)
{
   for(int i=OrdersTotal(); i>-1; i--)
      {
         OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
         if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==Magic) OrderClose(OrderTicket(),lot,close_price,slippage,clrWhite);
      }

}
