It's a SCRIPT, so place it in the right folder, you click it once then it will place buy and sell stop just once.

thank you Marco but i need EA which place automatically a pending order when a top or bottom is formed
 

Well you can modify it into an EA or post a job in Freelance.

when i compile your script code, that makes error, i ont understand

 

If you are talking about an error, name the error,

Saying makes error means nothing.

Here is the compiled file put it in the scripts folder.

2017.07.26 11:40   You are referring to tables, all your duplicate posts are about comments posted before I read your first mentioned problem.

2017.07.25 10:03 Edited, no tables. Does that look better?
