Good afternoon my friend...

I keep studying about MQL5 programming and its codes have served as an inspiration and base of studies, I have learned a lot, but sometimes I get a little lost and I can't understand exactly what certain codes do and why they are there ...

I was able to understand the whole code of "Hedge any positions", just a part of the code that I am having difficulty understanding what it does and why it is there, could help me understand what it is about and why it was added to the code?

bool RefreshRates(const string symbol,
                  const ulong magic,
                  double freeze_level,
                  double stop_level)
{
   if(!m_symbol.Name(symbol))
   {
      return(false);
   }

   m_trade.SetExpertMagicNumber(magic);
   m_trade.SetDeviationInPoints(0);
   m_trade.SetTypeFillingBySymbol(m_symbol.Name());
   m_trade.SetMarginMode();

   if(!m_symbol.RefreshRates())
   {
      Print("RefreshRates error");
      return(false);
   }

   if(!m_symbol.Refresh())
   {
      Print("Refres error");
      return(false);
   }
   
   if(m_symbol.Ask()==0 || m_symbol.Bid()==0)
   {
      return(false);
   }

   freeze_level=m_symbol.FreezeLevel()*m_symbol.Point();
   if(freeze_level==0.0)
   {
      freeze_level=(m_symbol.Ask()-m_symbol.Bid())*3.0;
   }
   freeze_level*=1.1;

   stop_level=m_symbol.StopsLevel()*m_symbol.Point();
   if(stop_level==0.0)
   {
      stop_level=(m_symbol.Ask()-m_symbol.Bid())*3.0;
   }
   stop_level*=1.1;

   if(freeze_level<=0.0 || stop_level<=0.0)
   {
      return(false);
   }
   return(true);
}

freeze_level=m_symbol.FreezeLevel()*m_symbol.Point();
   if(freeze_level==0.0)
   {
      freeze_level=(m_symbol.Ask()-m_symbol.Bid())*3.0;
   }
   freeze_level*=1.1;

   stop_level=m_symbol.StopsLevel()*m_symbol.Point();
   if(stop_level==0.0)

   stop_level*=1.1;

   if(freeze_level<=0.0 || stop_level<=0.0)
   {
      return(false);
   }
   return(true);
}

I didn't understand why "freeze_level" and "stop_level" are checked, why in case they return the value "0" does the calculation (Ask-Bid) * 3 occur? And when the value "0" does not return, does multiplication by 1.1 occur?

What are these "freeze_level" and "stop_level" about?

I looked in the documentation and I didn't really understand their purpose and why this check and multiplication is done in cases of "0" return or not.

The checks a trading robot must pass before publication in the Market

www.mql5.com

Before any product is published in the Market, it must undergo compulsory preliminary checks, as a small error in the expert or indicator logic can cause losses on the trading account. That is why we have developed a series of basic checks to ensure the required quality level of the Market products. If any errors are identified by the Market...

Thanks for the reply, I read all the documentation you sent me and made some changes to the code:

bool RefreshRates(const string symb,
                  const ulong magi)
{
   if((!m_symbol.Name(symb))
   && (!m_symbol.RefreshRates() || !m_symbol.Refresh())
   && (m_symbol.Ask()==0 || m_symbol.Bid()==0))
   {
      return(false);
   }
   m_trade.SetExpertMagicNumber(magi);
   m_trade.SetDeviationInPoints(0);
   m_trade.SetTypeFillingBySymbol(m_symbol.Name());
   m_trade.SetMarginMode();
   return(true);
}

Do you think this is a good approach to update (and check for updates) quotes and configuration for a trade?

These are the lines:

   m_trade.SetDeviationInPoints(0);
   m_trade.SetTypeFillingBySymbol(m_symbol.Name());
   m_trade.SetMarginMode();

once you need to register in OnInit.

You have set zero slippage - be prepared for the fact that you will receive a rejection very often

Basta deixar este EA ativo em algum gráfico que ele monitora e "protege" a posição de outro EA em outro gráfico , é isso ???

Uma pergunta: o que acontece quando o coeficiente de lote é menor que 1, por exemplo, 0,5?

Uma posição com um volume menor será aberta.

É possível atualizar esse EA para filtrar as ordens e aplicar o hedge somente por um número mágico específico?
