Does that look correct to you?
 
wow. a response to a newbie without the usual snide remark from him.

Because he was not rude, ignorant, and insulting unlike you.

Why do you ask for help with such a bad piece of code? Even if we fix it for you, are you really intending to trade with that? I've seen someone who lost all of his account (real money) within 30 seconds due to a malfunctioning EA.

The right answer to your issue is: Learn to code. There's a lot of free tutorials to get started, I'd go with some basic Java  lessions and then MQL tutorials on Youtube.

No offence, but you're probably not getting anywhere if you rely on the forum with these kind of issues.

His code is clearly a test code and while his mistakes look simple to us, we all have our brain fart moments, beginners will just have more.
The fact the he tried to write a piece of code is already good thing.

Suggesting that he learns Java will only confuse him more because of the garbage collection and syntax differences, specially the idea
where everything has to be inside a class which is bad design of the language itself and leads to a lot of poorly designed applications.
