MQL5 - Relearning Programming All Over again

New comment
 

Folks, Can any one show me how to send a market order in MQL5.

I just downloaded the platform but after several couple hours trials have not been successful in sending an order from a simple Expert Advisor.

This is my Ordersend structure in MQL4 for a market buy: How will I structure this in MQL5.

OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lots, Ask, 3, Ask - 250* Point, Ask + 250* Point, "MQL4 Sample", MagicNumber1, 0, Blue);

Seems like a very basic question...yet no answer !! If you go to the Russian forum they've been discussing MT5 for a very long time and are very in depth....

We are at square one and can't even get a simple response....

The reason why it does not work is because the *&^%&^ programmers changed order send, its a nightmare now... it has no magic number for starters.

here is a copy of the new syntax:

bool OrderSend(

MqlTradeRequest& request // Structure query

MqlTradeResult& result // Structure of the answer

);

Options

request

[in] Pointer to a structure typeMqlTradeRequestDescribing the trade effect of the client.

result

[in, out] Pointer to a structure typeMqlTradeResultDescribing the result of trading in the event of successful completion (return true).


struct MqlTradeRequest
{
ENUM_TRADE_REQUEST_ACTIONS action; // Type of executable
ulong expert; // Clone expert (ID)
ulong order; // Ticket order
string symbol; // The name of the trade instrument
double volume; // The requested amount of the transaction lots
double price; / Price
double stoplimit; // Level StopLimit warrant
double sl; // Stop Loss order level
double tp; // The level of Take Profit orders
ulong deviation; // Maximum acceptable deviation from the asking price
ENUM_ORDER_TYPE type; // Type of warrant
ENUM_ORDER_TYPE_FILLING type_filling; // Type of warrant execution
ENUM_ORDER_TYPE_TIME type_time; // Type a warrant for the duration of
datetime expiration; // The expiration of the order (for orders type ORDER_TIME_SPECIFIED)
string comment; // Comment to warrant
char reserved[128]; // Reserved
};


struct MqlTradeResult
{
uint retcode; // Result code operation
ulong deal; // Ticket deal, if it is made
ulong order; // Ticket warrant if he may
double volume; // The volume of the transaction confirmed by broker
double price; // Price of the transaction confirmed by broker
double bid; // The current market offer price (the price requotes)
double ask; // The current market price of demand (prices requotes)
string comment; // Comment broker to the operation (by default filled decoding)
char reserved[128]; // Reserved
};


Yet they can add idiotic bitmaps for a background...go figure
