EA added in one chart but trade different selection symbols (HELP)

New comment
 

Hello follow developer,

I have MT4 EA that automatically select weak and strong currency pairs and add it to a variable named : 

string SellSymbols = "USDCAD,CADJPY,";
string BuySymbols= "EURUSD,GBPCAD,";

I want to code my EA in a way that it is in one chart and trade all the selected symbols  for example :

// for sell...
ticket= OrderSend(SellSymbols,OP_SELL,lot,Entry,EntrySlipage,SL,TP,"EA Trade",MagicNumber,clrRed);

// for buy....
ticket= OrderSend(BuySymbols,OP_BUY,lot,Entry,EntrySlipage,SL,TP,"EA Trade",MagicNumber,clrGreen);

EA will be added to one chart and it will automatically sell USDCAD/CADJPY and buy EURUSD/GBPCAD when they is signal on the chart of those symbols.

Am actually using custom indicator in which I will code it this way: 

if(CustomIndicator(SellSymbols,TimeFrame)=="sellSignal"
{
  ticket= OrderSend(SellSymbols,OP_SELL,lot,Entry,EntrySlipage,SL,TP,"EA Trade",MagicNumber,clrRed);
}
// for buy...
if(CustomIndicator(BuySymbols,TimeFrame)=="buySignal"
{
  ticket= OrderSend(BuySymbols,OP_BUY,lot,Entry,EntrySlipage,SL,TP,"EA Trade",MagicNumber,clrGreen);
}

Please anyone who know how to code EA to be in on chart and trade different selected symbols? please help me, share the code to me here

Your Support will be highly appreciated. Thank you

    The site is mql5.com. Nothing to do with which forum you post on.

    You posted your MT4 question in the MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page)?

    Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

Emmanuel Emmanuel Tom:

The First thing that you should do is to code a function to open a trade with a single symbol.

//Open Sell Function
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OpenSellTrade(string symbolToTrade)
{
// Here calculate values
// for all the variables in the
// OrderSend()
   
   int ticket= OrderSend(symbolToTrade,OP_SELL,lot,Entry,EntrySlipage,SL,TP,"EA Trade",MagicNumber,clrRed);
   if(ticket==-1)
      Print("OrderSend (Sell) failed with error #",GetLastError()); //add extra details to the print that may help you pinpoint any problems

   return(ticket);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Once you have done that you can create a loop to call the function with various symbols.

Please complete the above function and post it here.

I have done it this way , but not tested yet but I believe it will work

string SellSymbols= USDJPY,USDCAD;
string BuySymbols= GBPUSD,EURUSD;
string BuySymbolsArray[];
string SellSymbolsArray[];

// BuySymbols varieble split to BuysymbolsArray
ushort seperator=StringGetCharacter(",",0);
int StrSplit=StringSplit(BuySymbols,seperator,BuySymbolsArray);

// SellSymbols varieble split to SellsymbolsArray
ushort sep=StringGetCharacter(",",0);
int Split=StringSplit(SellSymbols,sep,SellSymbolsArray);


for(int s=0; s<=ArraySize(BuySymbolsArray); s++)//BUY ORDER
{
  if(indicator(BuySymbolsArray[s],Timeframe,Shift)=="buy")
  {
     ticket= OrderSend(BuySymbolsArray[s],OP_BUY,lot,Entry,EntrySlipage,SL,TP,"COMMENT",MagicNumber,clrGreen);
  }
}


for(int s=0; s<=ArraySize(SellSymbolsArray); s++)//SELL ORDER
{
  if(indicator(SellSymbolsArray[s],Timeframe,Shift)=="sell")
  {
     ticket= OrderSend(SellSymbolsArray[s],OP_SELL,lot,Entry,EntrySlipage,SL,TP,"COMMENT",MagicNumber,clrRed);
  }
}

It won't work for various reasons.

As you don't want to take notice of my advice, I'll leave it at that.
