  1. Don't double post! You already had this thread open.

  2.    ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,lotsize,Bid,slippage,stoplosslevel,takeprofitlevel,commentsell,magicnumber,0,DeepPink);

    Why did you post your MT4 question in the MT5 EA section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page)?
              General rules and best pratices of the Forum. - General - MQL5 programming forum? (2017)
    Next time, post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

  3. Your code
    		 
       if(rsivalue>=overboughtlevel)
     {
      isabove85=TRUE;
     }
   else
     {
      isabove85=FALSE;
     }
    Simplified. 
       isabove85=rsivalue>=overboughtlevel;

  4.       takeprofitlevel=Ask+takeprofit*Point;

    You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid. Pending Buy Stop orders become market orders when hit by the Ask.

    1. 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?

    2. 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 at a specific Bid price, add the average spread.
                MODE_SPREAD (Paul) - MQL4 programming forum - Page 3 #25

    3. 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)

    Your post is almost unintelligible. If you are using mechanical translation, you must use simple language structure.

  6. You broke it, go to your backups. Or, Use the debugger or print out your variables, including _LastError and prices and find out why. Do you really expect us to debug your code for you?

  7. Journals don't run on any chart, they just log messages. Not an issue.

  8. Your code says, if buy count is zero and RSI is above n, open an order. Why does it surprise you that it will open another order?

    You are looking at a signal. Act on a change of signal.
