if(tradecount==1 && firstpositiontype==EnumToString(POSITION_TYPE_BUY))
   {
    Alert(firstpositiontype);
    Alert(stoplossprice);
    if(firstpositionpricecurrent<=stoplossprice && tradecount==1)
    {
     Alert("Position Hedge");
     Trade.Sell(firstpositionvolume,Symbol(),stoplossprice,0,0);
     ulong Newpositionticket=positionselector("POSITION_TYPE_SELL");
     PositionSelectByTicket(Newpositionticket);
     string Newpositiontype=Getpositiontype();
     if(Newpositiontype=="POSITION_TYPE_SELL")
     {
      double Newpositionprofit=profitcounter();
      Alert(Newpositionprofit);

JUDE UZO: . The "Newpositionprofit" in the code there doesnt seem to update itself. The programm just stops at ... it doesnt do nothing anymore, it doesnt even call the ontick function anymore.

1. There is no self-changing code

2. What is "it". Your code should never call OnTick.

3. Use the debugger or print out your variables, including _LastError and prices and find out why. Do you really expect us to debug your code for you?

Did you set Debug stop points and it doesn't return to OnTick or does the entire Meta Editor crash?

Thanks so much for your reply... no i didnt set Debug stop points and no the Meta Editor doesnt crash. the code just stops working there. 

if(Newpositionprofit>=0)

it gives me the alerts right before that code line. but when i reaches that code line it does nothing else.
