Hi Coolze36, you entry is at:
1. an OnTick() event which is triggered on every tick ( I suggest you write a separate function then call it through onTick()
2. Your if statement condition is mostly always true then when true on every tick there will a trade. (so if you need one trade at a time add PositionsTotal() on your if statement) like..
if (Equity>= Balance && PositionsTotal()==0)
trade.Sell(0.01,_Symbol,Ask,(Ask+75 * _Point),(Bid-125 * _Point),NULL);
}
Then your trade will enter once then another just after the other closes.
NB: I think you need a better strategy to enter trade than relying on the balance and account Equity.
Hope the above helps.
Good day all,
I am seeking to create trade deal task but instead of opening 1 single deal it opens many of them at the same time? Can anyone provide a suggestion? Not sure what I am missing here. Thank you

CTrade trade;
MqlTradeResult;
void OnTick()
{
double Ask=NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK),_Digits);
double Bid=NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits);
double Balance=AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_BALANCE);
double Equity=AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_EQUITY);
if (Equity>= Balance)
trade.Sell(0.01,_Symbol,Ask,(Ask+75 * _Point),(Bid-125 * _Point),NULL);
}
Try to add this :
if(entry=="sell" && PositionsTotal()< n)
trade.Sell(0.05,NULL,Bid,0,(Bid-100 * _Point),NULL);
Fill n with number of deal as you want (1,2.3,....)....
trade.Sell(0.01,_Symbol,Ask,(Ask+75 * _Point),(Bid-125 * _Point),NULL);
You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid. Pending Buy Stop orders become market orders when hit by the Ask.
-
Your buy order's TP/SL (or Sell Stop's/Sell Limit's entry) are triggered when the Bid / OrderClosePrice reaches it. Using Ask±n, makes your SL shorter and your TP longer, by the spread. Don't you want the specified amount used in either direction?
-
Your sell order's TP/SL (or Buy Stop's/Buy Limit's entry) will be triggered when the Ask / OrderClosePrice reaches it. To trigger close to a specific Bid price, add the average spread.

The charts show Bid prices only. Turn on the Ask line to see how big the spread is (Tools → Options (control+O) → charts → Show ask line.)
Most brokers with variable spreads widen considerably at end of day (5 PM ET) ± 30 minutes.
My GBPJPY shows average spread = 26 points, average maximum spread = 134.
My EURCHF shows average spread = 18 points, average maximum spread = 106.
(your broker will be similar).
Is it reasonable to have such a huge spreads (20 pip spreads) in EURCHF? - General - MQL5 programming forum (2022)
