Problem with OrderSendFunction must be a string
Hi NZFXMAN,
1. That's MQL4 code should be asked at MQL4.com. MetaEditor 4 has MQL4 link button, use it to open MQL4.com. You will get a lot more help for that than here.
2. Use SRC button to publish your code, your code will hell a lot of easier to read and other forumer will be happy to read and help with your code w/o the need to download the attachment.
3. Click delete button to delete this topic.
4. On your MetaEditor 4, open Navigator window, click search tab, and type OrderSend. You will get what you want from there coz MQ already write everything there.

If you don't want to delete this topic, would you please click the edit link and edit your codes using SRC button.
The delete and edit link will appear on lower right of the comment when cursor hovering over the comment, but I think you already know that :)

Hi, can someone help with this code as I am a total newbie and need help!!! I have an EA compiled by a mql programmer but I wanted to change the entry signal, so copied some code from another EA which I thought might work, but I get the errors below in strategy tester as no errors come up from compiler in Metaeditor 4 wizard thingy. I also added an extern int of openbuy and opensell as I thought that might complete string, but I have no idea what a string is or compiles of?!?
