Hi would like to use this Bot however, it's on the five min window? Still I'm having problems setting up values for it, to run cleanly...
Would really like the help of someone, its working and I have it on a scalping build, however it's not starting back trades. I does have to replace the settings of the bot to start another set of trades again. I would be grateful for the help, Please....

Why did you post your MT4 question in the MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page)?

Next time, post in the correct place. I have deleted your duplicate thread. -

Don't try to use any price (or indicator) or server related functions in OnInit (or on load or in OnTimer before you've received a tick), as there may be no connection/chart yet:- Terminal starts.
- Indicators/EAs are loaded. Static and globally declared variables are initialized. (Do not depend on a specific order.)
- OnInit is called.
- For indicators OnCalculate is called with any existing history.
- Human may have to enter password, connection to server begins.
- New history is received, OnCalculate called again.
- A new tick is received, OnCalculate/OnTick is called. Now TickValue, TimeCurrent, account information and prices are valid.

datetime startHour = StrToTime(startTradingHour); datetime endHour = StrToTime(endTradingHour); if(now >= startHour && now <= endHour) …
When dealing with time, a lot of people use strings; they can not be optimized. Using (int) seconds or (double) hours and fraction can be inputs.
Remember to handle the case where start > end (e.g. 2100 … 0200)
Your code if(now >= startHour && now <= endHour) return true; else return false;
Simplified return now >= startHour && now <= endHour;

double stopLossLevel = Ask - baseStopLossPips * Point; double takeProfitLevel = Ask + baseTakeProfitPips * Point;
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 at 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)
