I thought I had fixed it but no.
What I am trying to do is have a comment on the chart and in the journal stating which entry condition was used to open the current position.
Has this been done before and how do you do it because I have been trying for a while now but no luck and it's not as easy as I thought.
Below is my latest attempt.
any help would be great

This EA wont even compile, stoploss should be the lest of your concerns. There are 5 Variables that have random spaces in them or the first letter isn't capitalized!
This EA wont even compile, stoploss should be the lest of your concerns. There are 5 Variables that have random spaces in them or the first letter isn't capitalized!
Here the fix version.
But this still can't open any position because there is no logic in the code for decide how to open long / short positions.

none trading zone - code help
Hello everyone,
I trying to tweak a code but after much effort I still couldn't get it right.. if any of you guys dont mind can you have a look at this.. appreciate..
The idea is to stop the next trade if the price range is in the same zone as the previous trade. Long trade will check zone for last OPEN POSITION long trade, and short trade will check zone for last OPEN POSITION short trade.
ie. if the first LONG at 1.4000, then the second LONG will only trigger if the price move out of the zone (20 pips zone) less than 1.3990 && more than 1.4010
Thanks everyone..

//+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
extern int Zone1 = -10; // (lower zone)
extern int Zone2 = 10; // (upper zone)
// no trade zone between -10 and +10 from the previous trade

int cnt = OrdersTotal();

You are selling at the Ask price, should be Bid.
The Comment field should be "", not 0.
25 as SL should be Bid+25*Point.
15 as TP should be Bid-15*Point.
"R ed" is not a color.

But, I am still facing problems
zero knowledge of MQL. Can you please copy paste the code in mq4 file and test it on demo and then tell me if it works fine. Your support will be counted as Kindest Help Michel.
Best Regards,
Kashif.
No, sorry, I do not have enough time for now.
In few hours I take a boat to go back to my family for Xmas ... and no more pc...
