Button BUY/SELL/CLOSE event

 

Hi gurus,

Can you show me a solution for that?

I searched but couldn't find anything.

For example: I have a button on a chart, and it opens a buy order when I click on it.

Thx

 
I don't know what you are asking for.
 
GumRai:

See the title: Button BUY/SELL/CLOSE event

That obviously means something to you, it means nothing to me and is certainly not a question.

Sorry, but I guess that my comprehension is lacking. :( 

 

Here's some code that uses buttons, you may find some of it useful.

It's something that I haven't quite completed, so any suggestions for improvements would be gratefully received.

I haven't done much with buttons and so copied the button function from the documentation

What do not you understand?!

I need a code that handles button (OBJ_BUTTON) events. For example if I click on this button it opens a buy order. I can not explain it better.

UPDATE: thank you for the code, I will study it.
