Enter Short:

Bar # 1 must be up bar, bar #0 price lower than bar #1 low price then enter short

OrderSend (Sell)

Thanks serpentsnoir, I code it like this, it give error 130 (invalid stop), please help

Code:

extern double TakeProfit = 50;

extern double Lots=1;

extern double MagicNumber=12345;

int start()

{

//----

int ticket, cnt, total;

if(TakeProfit<10)

{

Print("TakeProfit less than 10");

return(0); // check TakeProfit

}

//start trade - sell

total = OrdersTotal();

if(total < 1) //if no trade open

{

if (Close[1] > Open[1] && Bid-3*Point < Low[1])

{

ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,Ask,3,0,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,"My EA",MagicNumber,0,Red);

if(ticket>0)

{

if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES))

Print("SELL order opened : ",OrderOpenPrice());

}

else Print("Error opening SELL order : ",GetLastError());

return(0);

}

}

//----

return(0);

}

  1. You BUY at the ASK, you SELL at the BID
  2. For a SELL, your takeProfits would be LOWER then the open price.
  3. For 4/5 digit brokers you must adjust TP, SL, AND slippage. For ECN brokers you must open first and then set stops.
    //++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
int     pips2points;    // slippage  3 pips    3=points    30=points
double  pips2dbl;       // Stoploss 15 pips    0.015      0.0150
int     Digits.pips;    // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips)
int     init(){
     if (Digits % 2 == 1){      // DE30=1/JPY=3/EURUSD=5 https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/135345
                pips2dbl    = Point*10; pips2points = 10;   Digits.pips = 1;
    } else {    pips2dbl    = Point;    pips2points =  1;   Digits.pips = 0; }
    // OrderSend(... Slippage.Pips * pips2points, Bid - StopLossPips * pips2dbl
//---- These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
    /* On ECN brokers you must open first and THEN set stops
    int ticket = OrderSend(..., 0,0,...)
    if (ticket < 0)

       Alert("OrderSelect failed: ", GetLastError());
    else if (!OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), SL, TP, 0)
       Alert("OrderModify failed: ", GetLastError());
