Close [0] is not working in the Expert Advisor void CheckForOpen (). The value of Close [0] is the opening price. How can I get Close [0]? Close [1] can get the correct value.

double a = MathAbs(Close[0]-Open[0]);

I tried it but it's not effect. ↑ a=0

Try diferent … 

double a=Close[0];
double b=Open[0];
Print(a);
Print(b);
Print(a-b);

//Also

if(Close[0]== Bid)
Alert( " I understand now and I promise I will stop asking same question over and over again "); 

And copy this into a script and run it

How many times must we explain to you ... https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/429285, that when a new bar is formed (i.e. first tick of a bar), that open and close are the same and that, "Close[0] - Open[0]" will be zero.

There is no way around that. It is a fact of trading. You should not be comparing Close[0] to Close[1], but instead Close[1] to Close[2].

Also, if you have difficulty communicating in English, then it may be easier for you to communicate in your own language which I assume is Japanese — MQL5フォーラム

Print(a);

Print(b);

Print(a-b);

I tried it But Close[0] = Open[0] in the

void CheckForOpen()

Every candlle same price.

What happen?

I want to write a code that I want to entry possition when current bar is X times the average Pips in the past, is that impossible?

I did that when I created the arrow indicator before, But when it comes to EA, I can't do that
