Hi guys hopefully someone can help. I have an EA that should take trades at a certain time of the day and based on a bullish or bearish candlestick but it does not execute anything and there are no errors.
This is how my code looks:
input string TP = "Make sure its not zero and over a certain amount otherwise it will not work";
extern int TakeProfitForSell = 50;
extern int TakeProfitForBuy = 50;
input string SL = "Make sure its not zero and over a certain amount otherwise it will not work";
extern int StopLossForSell = 150;
extern int StopLossForBuy = 150;
double BuyBullish = Open[0]<Close[0];
double SellBearish = Open[0]>Close[0];
void OnTick()
{
double Ask=NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK),_Digits); //get the ask price
double Bid=NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits); //get the bid price
datetime time = TimeLocal(); //get the local time
string hoursAndMinutes = TimeToString(time,TIME_MINUTES); //format the time and create a string
Comment (hoursAndMinutes); //writes text in the corner
//----------------------------Buy------------------------------//
//buy trade if substring equals to the specified time in this format "00:00" and bullish candle
if (StringSubstr(hoursAndMinutes,0,5)=="04:28" && BuyBullish)
{
Alert("bullish so a buy order was executed"); //Shows a pop up message
OrderSend
(
Symbol(), //Currency pair
OP_BUY, //open buy position
0.01, //Lot size
Ask, //buying price
3, //Slippage
Ask-StopLossForBuy*_Point, //Stop loss
Ask+TakeProfitForBuy*_Point, //Take profit
NULL, //Comment
Blue //arrow colour
);
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------//
//----------------------------Sell------------------------------//
//sell trade if substring equals to the specified time in this format "00:00" and bearish candle
else if (StringSubstr(hoursAndMinutes,0,5)=="04:28" && SellBearish)
{
Alert("bearish so a sell order was executed"); //Shows a pop up message
OrderSend
(
Symbol(), //Currency pair
OP_SELL, //open buy position
0.01, //Lot size
Bid, //buying price
3, //Slippage
Bid-StopLossForSell*_Point, //Stop loss
Bid+TakeProfitForSell*_Point, //Take profit
NULL, //Comment
Red //arrow colour
);
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------//
}
