I can't buy/sell when I put conditions in

New comment
 
Could someone please help me ? I just started programming and I have n idea what I'm supposed to do, because the EA won't buy/sell when I putr a condition in. If my condition is "true" it works, but not with another condition, such as for example : MA1_value > MA2-value. Could some one pls help me ? My file is here attached. :)

  1. Please post only in English on this forum. "n", "putr", "pls" are not words.

  2. You are supposed to fix your broken code.

    Use the debugger or print out your variables, including _LastError and prices and find out why. Do you really expect us to debug your code for you?

  3. if(MA1_value > MA2_value > MA3_value)
    True = non-zero and false = zero so you get: 
    if( 3 < 2 < 1 )
if( false < 1 )
if(     0 < 1 )
if(     true  )
    		 
    if( 3 > 2 > 1 )
if(  true > 1 )
if(     1 > 1 )
if(     false )
    Your buy condition is probably false. 

  4. //SELL
    if(false)
    Your sell condition is always false. 

  5.    trade.Sell(Lot_Size,_Symbol,Bid,Bid - STOPLOSS* _Point,Bid + TAKEPROFIT* _Point,NULL);
   trade.Buy(Lot_Size,_Symbol,Ask,Ask - STOPLOSS* _Point,Ask + TAKEPROFIT* _Point,NULL);
    You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid.
    1. 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?

    2. 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.

    3. 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.
