Enum List of All pairs available
Can't be done. The list would have to be constant at compile time. Different brokers have different symbols.
Just code it to trade the current symbol and let the trader choose which charts to put it on.
Hi all,
as per the object i'm trying to select the pair on wich run an EA from a drop-down menu.
I've already done this, in order to select the type of order, if is a Sell Limit or Buy Limit:
But i need to pass to the OrderSend function the pair for wich I want to open the position.
Do someone have ideas on how to code it?
Thanks in advance!
You'd need to have a custom properties tab after the ea is placed on the chart for this .
As William said if its not a multisymbol ea it is not that important

Hi @Lorentzos Roussos and @William Roeder, thank you both for your feedback.
So basically it's taking the signal from the chart to wich i will enable to EA? It's correct?
Another question, to place Sell Limit and Buy Limit order is the function OrderSend correct?
From what i've found seems that it's correct if i will pass all those fields:
OrderSend()
int OrderSend (string symbol, int cmd, double volume, double price, int slippage, double stoploss, double takeprofit, string comment=NULL, int magic=0, datetime expiration=0, color arrow_color=CLR_NONE)
Thanks for your help!

Yeah in mt4 , but you must be careful with stop orders and also check the SymbolInfoInteger(_Symbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_STOP_LEVEL); (i think this is it) as brokers do not allow you to
place a pending order or stop loss or take profit too close to the live price sometimes

Ok, thanks for your support @Lorentzos Roussos !
I've drafted this code, but i'm getting a huge batch of errors...
This EA basically have to open multiple Selli Limit or Buy Limit, starting from the parameters placed as inputs.

Do you have any idea of where are those errors?
Thanks a lot!

Check this correction and i'll let you write the buy limit side on your own . ☕️

Here we are:
I've tried your update, first of all, thanks!
Anyway it's not placing any order unfortunately, do you have any idea on why?
I've moved it on "OnInit" in order to avoid the infinite loop of "OnTick":

I've moved it on "OnInit" in order to avoid the infinite loop of "OnTick":
The number of transactions is 0
Stop Loss for a sell should be above the open price of the sell , Take Profit for a sell should be below the open price of the sellThe number of transactions is 0
Stop Loss for a sell should be above the open price of the sell , Take Profit for a sell should be below the open price of the sellYes, i've put them as a "Starting Value" to be edited in the EA once started.
By the way i've also added this in the end of the for loop:
for(int i=1; i<=Transaction_Number; i++) { //stop loss for a sell is the price of the open of the sell + the size of the sl * point of symbol //take profit for a sell is the price of the open - the size of the tp * point of symbol int ticket=OrderSend("Symbol(),H1",OP_SELLLIMIT,Lots_Volume,Starting_Price,0,Stop_Loss,Take_Profit,NULL,Order_ID,0,Blue); price=price+(Price_Step);//the price step cannot be changed by the lot step but by its own step // lots=lots+Lots_Steps; if(ticket<=0) Alert("Error Open: ",GetLastError()); }
And it's returning The error 133.
Currently on my demo account i have this Symbol:
GBPUSD,H1
This is why i've modified:
int ticket=OrderSend("Symbol(),H1",OP_SELLLIMIT,Lots_Volume,Starting_Price,0,Stop_Loss,Take_Profit,NULL,Order_ID,0,Blue);
Yes, i've put them as a "Starting Value" to be edited in the EA once started.

This is why i've modified:
No need for the timeframe just use _Symbol
Is the symbol tradable ?
Is the price of the sell limit above the current price ?
