How to create a stock-market trading platform with the same error as it did before - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4

double SL=OrderStopLoss();
bool result;
int  error;

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)

    {
     if(Bid-OrderOpenPrice() >= Point*BreakEven*mypoint)
      {
       if(OrderStopLoss() <OrderOpenPrice())
         {
          SL=OrderOpenPrice()*Point*mypoint;
          }}}}}

if(SL!=OrderStopLoss()) result=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(), SL,OrderTakeProfit(),0,CLR_NONE);
if(result!=true){error=GetLastError(); Print("ModifyError=",OrderTicket()," ",error);}

//--------CHECKING FOR ERRORS-------------------//

return(0);
}
}

I created the sell side also, but then deleted it because I was getting errors, so I put back in the one deVries showed me, still getting the same error codes.

Also, why do we add Point to OrderOpenPrice()=SL ?? That just adds the correct digits to the stop loss.

Look again to my code and change that Red line

it is different from what I gave !!!!

Can we see the code how it is now

and the message you get to read giving those errors

add one point to orderopenprice is to avoid trying modify trade again at breakeven every tick

Yes I picked up on that error, I was just changing some things around and forgot to erase that before posting code. Apologies.

Inside the loop we check every modification for error not outside the loop we don't know for what orderticket last error is in that case

last line print( getlasterror()) b is not needed

I like to see brackets more in a line

RaptorUK and I didn't put closing brackets this way }}}}}}

you have made now errors because of that

Is that the order you are requesting for {{{ }}} opening and closing brackets?

That has been an issue for me, I feel very disorganized inside the code.

Zachary 2013.03.18 22:12 #38

No errors now, but in visual backtest, the SL is not being moved. I had confidence in this but hurting now, apologies for depending so much on the message board.

The brackets were the error but still not functioning correctly.

I have been re-reading the book as well.

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY){

 if(BreakEven>0){
   
     if(Bid-OrderOpenPrice() >=BreakEven*mypoint*Point){
      
       if(OrderStopLoss() <OrderOpenPrice()){
         
          SL=OrderOpenPrice()+Point;
}
  }
     }
       }

I think this will help me as well, placing the brackets directly underneath the operator.

Looks horrible to me, but if it makes sense to you then great. I do it like this so the indenting shows where a block is . . .

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)
   {
   if(BreakEven>0)
      {
      if(Bid-OrderOpenPrice() >=BreakEven*mypoint*Point)
         {
         if(OrderStopLoss() <OrderOpenPrice())
            {
            SL=OrderOpenPrice()+Point;
            }
         }
      }
   }

or do it like this . . .

if(OrderType() == OP_BUY && BreakEven > 0 && 
   Bid - OrderOpenPrice() >= BreakEven * mypoint * Point &&
   OrderStopLoss() < OrderOpenPrice() )
   {
   SL = OrderOpenPrice() + Point;
   }
