1) Answer:
if((iMA[1] - iMA([1]+1))<0 -- You can't call function iMa like array.
There is no paranthese that close CheckForOpen function.
ma=iMA(NULL,0,MovingPeriod,MovingShift,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); -- There is no need for indicator if you compare current price with price before current.
This should solve problem:
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
double PriceBefore;
void CheckForOpen()
{
double ma;
int res;
//---- go trading only for first tiks of new bar
if(Volume[0]>1) return;
//---- Initialize PriceBefore CheckForOpen is called first time
if(PriceBefore == 0) PriceBefore = Bid;
//---- get Moving Average
// ma=iMA(NULL,0,MovingPeriod,MovingShift,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
//---- sell conditions
if(Bid < PriceBefore) // If current price is smaler then previus price
res=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,LotsOptimized(),Bid,3,0,0,"", MAGICMA, 0,Red);
PriceBefore = Bid;
return;
}

Thanks a lot mstanic! It works!
I'm sorry though. I didn't ask my question properly. =( What I REALLY want to do is this:
Sell if current ma is smaller than previous ma. (previous ma meaning the ma at the beginning of the last bar as usual)
Do you know how I can do that?
thanks again

nevermind, I figured it out

but the program tells me end_of_program unbalanced left parentheses. I've tried to change the 0 after PRICE_CLOSE to 1, (like I saw earlier in the forum) but it doesn't help
any ideas? THANKS!
2) Is there a general error definition and troubleshooting page which is extensive enough to have this? I only found a page with a few errors. That'd be cool.

Hello all;
I have similar problem, i try to write my first EA, but i have a problem, \end_of_program.....
if(TrailingStop>0)
{
if((OrderOpenPrice()-Ask)>(Point*TrailingStop))
{
if((OrderStopLoss()>(Ask+Point*TrailingStop))||(OrderStopLoss()==0))
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+Point*TrailingStop,
OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);
}
return(0);
}
}
}
}
Can anybody help me?
Peter
