Problem with boolean operation on price

New comment 
   double first_order_price = Ask; // store the price of previous order

// Open 2st long position with smaller price
   if(Ask < (first_order_price - 10 * Point))
     {
      ticket2 = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, lot_size, Ask, 0, stop_loss, take_profit, "Test", MagicNumber, 0, Lime);
     }

Why the condition (first_order_price - 10 * Point) don't works?

Thanks to whoever can help me

Is it not obvious?

If the variable "first_order_price" is assigned the value of "Ask", then the boolean expression becomes :

Ask < (Ask - 10 * Point)
Which will ALWAYS be false.
No it isn't, because the first_order_price variable concerns the stored price of a previous order. But I fixed it by moving the variable under Global section.
Thanks anyway for the help

That isn't what you posted.
