I need my ea to open another opposite trade while the other is still open.

New comment
 

i have set my EA as to when to open buy and sell positions and everything is ok, but the problem it does open another trade before the other is closed, i need it to open sell position once the conditions are met irrespective of whether the open buy has not closed and also the opposite 


can any one help?

Show the code and maybe somebody can assist.

You should also explain your problem more clearly as you seem to be saying that you want the EA to do what it is already doing.

 

Yes you have to use certain statements to include and exclude possibilities.

Maybe you can start by posting some code.

 

Its a moving average EA.  

1. 10 MA cross above 200 MA buy position is open 

2. set to take 5 points in profit 

3. how ever it reverses and 10 MA cross below 200 MA.  its suppose to open a sell position as programmed but because the open position is still not closed it doesnt 


i hope you understand.
