Good afternoon everyone, can you please help me to solve this problem, the problem is in logic, I've broken my brain today and I've come to the point where I'm in a mess.

I have written an elementary code sample, there is a signal if candle's close is bigger than waggon, one order is opened.

The signal will stay and stay true for a long time. I am sure you know what I mean,

As a matter of fact, how should I make a signal to buy open one order and that's it, until the situation changes and the close price is lower than the Mask.

I need help in writing an EA.

I need an EA whichopens a positionon a match of 2 MA andMACDdivergence (convergence)crossover.We need an EA with TP and SL. The code should be as simple as possible.

If I want to open one order in such a way, when I get a buy signal, it should be done until the situation changes and the close price is lower than the price of the Machka.

Your task is not phrased correctly, hence the lack of understanding how to do it.

the problem should look like this: on bar 1, there is a "buy signal", while on bar 2 there is no such a signal - it means it is a buy signal

respectively there will be a prohibition on reopening and a prohibition to trade "in the middle of the signal".

I do not quite understand. The first bar has closed, the close price is higher than the Mach number, it means that we open an order and let's assume the order has closed at the Take price and its close price is also higher than the Mach number.

What has the second bar got to do with it? I cannot understand, maybe orders should be considered by one signal?

ANDREY:

Thank you for the valuable information.

Regarding the mathematical mindset. Since I'm from scratch .... albeit too long .... I have mastered Kovalev's textbook to some extent, and even learned to write primitive codes which compile without errors, and even coded something similar to "grail" ..... it means that my mindset is changing in the direction I need..... as it seems to me.
Please tell me if it's OK ... Can you run MQL5 functions in MetaEditor 4?

Thank you

Here is a classic example of a non-mathematical mindset.

If i've already started working on this problem, i already tried to open it and i've already lost my mind.

I have written a simple code sample, there is a signal if candle's close is bigger than waggon, one order is opened.

The signal will stay and stay true for a long time. I am sure you know what I mean,

As a matter of fact, how should I make a signal to buy open one order and that's it, until the situation changes and the close price is lower than the Mask.

I don't quite understand, the first bar closed, the closing price is higher than the bag, it means that the order opens, let's say the order closed at the point, and its closing price is also higher than the bag.

What has the second bar got to do with it? I cannot understand, maybe orders should be considered by one signal?

Change the condition, it was less and became more, so it is a buy signal.

)))) I am not a child to be offended)) I did not go to math school) I am more of a humanitarian, but everyone starts somewhere and gets dumb like me)) that's why I am asking for help

with an example, please?

 if( (  Close[1] > ma && Close[2] <= ma )  && CountBuy() == 0)
