Help Please.. Struggling with mql5

[mpfx]

Greeting all..

 

As a non code person i spent ages slowly grasping mql4 to the point i could make most things work.. But I am back to square one with mql5.. 

 

So I need a basic expert code that does the following.................

 

1. Finds the high and low of a candle based on the close of the past hour..   Say close of hour 20 on 1 hr time frame for example..

 

2.  It takes those values, adds 20 pips to each, and places a buy and a sell order either side of those new values.. They will also need have a stop and take profit of 50 pips included...

 

3 Then if hour equals 4 it deletes all  unfilled orders...

 

I would be so appreciative with any help.  Even anything basic to just give me a starting platform  and i can go from there..

 

Thanks in advance and gt...

We dont know the errors if you do not post them.

Also if your fluent in MQL4 why did you feel the need to switch to MQL5 ? I am always curious to know.
