EA error

New comment
 

Hello,


I'm trying to code an EA and everytime I compile it gives me 1 error message, PLEASE HELP ME ...


void OnTick()

  {

//---


   double movingAverage = iMA(NULL,0,9,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0);

   double currentPrice = Open[0];

   double lastPrice = Open[1];

   

     if { (currentPrice > movingAverage) && (currentPrice < lastPrice) } {

      // Sell

      order = OrderSend(NULL,OP_SELL,0.10,currentPrice,0,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0,NULL);

    

   } else if { (currentPrice < movingAverage) && (currentPrice > lastPrice) } {

      // Buy

      order = OrderSend(NULL,OP_BUY,0.10,currentPrice,0,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0,NULL);

   }

      

   Alert("Last Price: "+lastPrice+" Current Price: "+currentPrice);

  }

 

So what is the error?

'if' - open parenthesis expected



  
void OnTick()

  {

//---


   double movingAverage = iMA(NULL,0,9,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0);

   double currentPrice = Open[0];

   double lastPrice = Open[1];

   

     if { (currentPrice > movingAverage) && (currentPrice < lastPrice) } {

      // Sell

      order = OrderSend(NULL,OP_SELL,0.10,currentPrice,0,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0,NULL);

    

   } else if { (currentPrice < movingAverage) && (currentPrice > lastPrice) } {

      // Buy

      order = OrderSend(NULL,OP_BUY,0.10,currentPrice,0,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0,NULL);

   }

      

   Alert("Last Price: "+lastPrice+" Current Price: "+currentPrice);

  }

    if { (currentPrice > movingAverage) && (currentPrice < lastPrice) } {

   } else if { (currentPrice < movingAverage) && (currentPrice > lastPrice) } {
Those are not parentheses. Perhaps you should read the manual.
