ticks counter
metadev:
Hello Everyone,
I am new to mql5 and i want to make a ticks counter
so that, each 30 pips i want to make an order (buy or stop buy )
can any one help ? i have searched alot and cannot find a good way of doing this.
Each 30 pips above and below price or every 30 ticks ?
For now, i just want to be able to make a pending order below and above the Ask price with 30 pips.
if the direction is down, i want to make another buy order at the 30 pips below pending order, and so on.
For now, i was able to write the following code :
void OnTick()
{
double Ask = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK),_Digits);
MqlRates PriceInfo[];
ArraySetAsSeries(PriceInfo,true);
int PriceData = CopyRates(_Symbol,_Period,0,3,PriceInfo);
if(PriceInfo[1].close > PriceInfo[1].open)
if(PositionsTotal() == 0 )
{
trade.Buy(0.10,NULL,Ask,0,Ask + 300*_Point,"Buy is done");
}
}
In this way, i am making a pending buy order above 30 pips. is that right ?

I mean if price is descending (Direction down)
or ascending (Direction up)
Thank you very much !! This is very interesting .
Can you please explain somehow your code ? I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance
