It is very unlikely that ema_red will exactly equal ema_purple, even if it looks that way on the chart.

You can read up on it here if you want more information about using == with doubles.

If you are checking for a cross, you need to look at the positions on the previous bar and compare them to the positions on the current bar e.g.

Thank you for your response, that's exactly what i thought of after observing and waiting for action from the EA, 

I have a problem though: how to implement the code that will determine the position on the previous bar and the position on the current bar 

Do you perhaps have a piece of code that can do that or an EA which makes use of that so I can get it from there?

 
double previous_ema_red = iMA(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,10,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);

double now_ema_red      = iMA(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,10,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
 

Hi,


I would like to ask how can I get cotton's price in EURO instead of USD in the METATRADER4 platform of a BROKER?

Sorry for the ignorance but I've recently started to work with METATRADER4.


Thanks in advance for your time!

Commodities prices are usually in USD, gold is available in euros as well (as a trading instrument) in many brokers.
