In future please post in the correct section
I will move this topic to the MQL4 and Metatrader 4 section.

Why did you post your MT4 question in an MT5 section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)
General rules and best pratices of the Forum. - General - MQL5 programming forum?
Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon. -

if (UseStopLoss) StopLossLevel = Ask - StopLoss * Point; else StopLossLevel = 0.0; if (UseTakeProfit) TakeProfitLevel = Ask + TakeProfit * Point; else TakeProfitLevel = 0.0;
You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid.- Your buy order's TP/SL (or Sell Stop's/Sell Limit's entry) are triggered when the Bid / OrderClosePrice reaches it. Using the Ask±n, makes your SL shorter and your TP longer, by the spread. Don't you want the specified amount used in either direction?
- Your sell order's TP/SL (or Buy Stop's/Buy Limit's entry) will be triggered when the Ask / OrderClosePrice reaches it. To trigger at a specific Bid price, add the average spread.
MODE_SPREAD (Paul) - MQL4 programming forum - Page 3 #25 - The charts show Bid prices only. Turn on the Ask line to see how big the spread is (Tools → Options (control+O) → charts → Show ask line.)
Most brokers with variable spread widen considerably at end of day (5 PM ET) ± 30 minutes. My GBPJPY (OANDA) shows average spread = 26 points, but average maximum spread = 134.

IsTrade = OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES); if(OrderType() <= OP_SELL && OrderSymbol() == Symbol()) { IsTrade = True;
Your check for an open trade is always true, if there is a trade open or pending on any chart.

Hi All ,
My EA attached opens multiple trades on a single pair.
I attach it on many pairs at once with different magic numbers, but i notice that is always open multiple trades on some pairs.
I expect it to only open one trade per pair symbol.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
