How do i exactly use symbolselect function?
I used it this way it doesn't work

String pair="EURUSD";
SymbolSelect(Pair,true);
Alert (symbol());

 i use alert to see if the symbol is selected but i see it always alerts usdchf by default,
Please me with,  write the exactly code which select EURUSD symbol
 

What are you trying to do?

String pair="EURUSD";
SymbolSelect(Pair,true);

 Places a symbol in the Market Watch window if it is not already there.

Alert (symbol());

 gives a pop-up alert showing the chart symbol

The symbol in the 2 pieces of code are not related to each other

Thanks for responding...
My ea doesn't care about charts it just read trading signals from a txt file and open the trades...
For example the txt file says open a EURUSD buy...
So here my ea should select eurusd symbol in order to run orderSend function on that pair

All symbols i need are already exist on market watch, i need to select a specified one to make an order on
  
String pair="EURUSD";
Then you use the variable "pair" in your OrderSend etc.

Then there is something wrong with your code.

Post your code and somebody may be able to help you.

What you mean is:
OrderSend(eurusd,OP_buy,....); 
Right?
Didn't work

No, unless eurusd is the name of a string variable.

Symbol must be a string ie "eurusd "
