Implementing a simple RSI strategy test - first program
I've tried to switch out ticket for just changing x between 0 and 1 depending on if I have a position open but there are still no trades being closed. Any ideas?
#property version "1.00"
#property strict
//-------------------------------------------------+
int ticket;
int x;
/*
double RSI = iRSI(_Symbol, 0, 3, PRICE_OPEN, 1);
void init()
{
double RSI = iRSI(_Symbol, 0, 3, PRICE_OPEN, 1);
}
*/
void start()
{
//---
double RSI = iRSI(_Symbol, 0, 3, PRICE_OPEN, 1);
if( RSI>75.0 & x==1) {
int ticket = OrderSend(_Symbol,OP_SELL,0.01, Bid,300,NULL,NULL,"My order",16384,0,clrGreen);
x = 0;
}
if (RSI<60.0 & x==0)
{
OrderClose(ticket, 0.01, Ask, 300, clrGreen);
ticket = 0;
x=1;
}
}
#property version "1.00" #property strict //-------------------------------------------------+ int ticket; int x; void init() { x=1; } void start() { //--- double RSI = iRSI(_Symbol, 0, 3, PRICE_OPEN, 1); if( RSI>75.0 & x==1) { int ticket = OrderSend(_Symbol,OP_SELL,0.01, Bid,300,NULL,NULL,"My order",16384,0,clrGreen); x = 0; } if (RSI<60.0 & x==0) { OrderClose(ticket, 0.01, Ask, 300, clrGreen); ticket = 0; x=1; } }

I am attempting to creating a simple EA in MQL4 that sells a pair when the RSI rises above 75 and sells when it falls below 60, while only being in one trade at a time. For some reason, it will only continuously selling without ever closing a position on the strategy tester. Any ideas?
Here is the code:
#property version "1.00"
#property strict
//-------------------------------------------------+
int ticket;
int x = 0; // variable created earlier with no current use.
/*
double RSI = iRSI(_Symbol, 0, 3, PRICE_OPEN, 1);
void init()
{
double RSI = iRSI(_Symbol, 0, 3, PRICE_OPEN, 1);
}
*/
void OnTick()
{
//---
double RSI = iRSI(_Symbol, 0, 3, PRICE_OPEN, 1);
if( RSI>75 & ticket==NULL) {
int ticket = OrderSend(_Symbol,OP_SELL,0.01, Bid,300,NULL,NULL,"My order",16384,0,clrGreen);
x = 1;
}
if (RSI<60 & ticket!=NULL)
{
OrderClose(ticket, 0.01, Ask, 300, clrGreen);
x=0;
}
}
