I can't figure out what I'm missing here. I can't get this EA to open a sell position.

I've tried putting in a 'return' after each OrderSend, but that didn't work. It opens a buy position just fine when parameters are met.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check that the parameters are actually met for a SELL condition to exist,  PRINT them.

Then check if your OrderSend() is working or not:   What are Function return values ? How do I use them ?

 
Can you tell what value is val1

what value is val2

why do you have 

OP_BUYLIMIT

and  

OP_SELLLIMIT

placing trades

what is the value  of  stoplevel 

I think we have to explain everything to you it looks like you have no clue what you are doing.....

So show us how will you know what the value is of val1  ,   val2,   ......
