Is the following abbreviated construction in the code correct: a < b && ( c > d1 || c >d2 || c > d3) ?

This is to avoid writing: (a < b && c > d1) || (a < b && c > d2) etc. many times.

Is the following abbreviated construction in the code correct: a < b && ( c > d1 || c >d2 || c > d3) ?

This is to avoid writing: (a < b && c > d1) || (a < b && c > d2) and so on many times.

Of course it will do. The only thing I would do when writing such large constructions is to explicitly specify the priority brackets:

(a < b)  && ( c > d1 || c >d2 || c > d3)

For MT4/5 compilers, we can do it without the specified brackets, because the existing priorities will not allow us to calculate the result of the expression in a different way. But these parentheses have two advantages:

  1. The expression is easier to understand visually without any questions about priorities (don't remember the priorities for each compiler).
  2. If the code is moved to another compiler, which may have different priorities, the code will work the same as in the current compiler.

Thank you, if

S_sk= SymbolInfoInteger("EURUSD",SYMBOL_SELECT);

returned the falce, there is no symbol in Market Watch, how do I add it there?

SymbolSelect()

Everything is in the help. Cursor on function name and F1

SymbolSelect()

It's all in the help. Cursor on the function name and F1

Thank you.

 

What is the reason for this? I wrote a script which sets limit orders in MT5. When I send it to the chart in the terminal the orders are not set, although the result.retcode returns 10009(order executed)

This is written in the general log. And what's in the "Experts" log? And not just one line, but the whole log. There is not much to see through the keyhole.

Besides, there is no check for return codes in the cited code. So it's not clear on what basis the conclusion about the error code is made.

To advise something, you need to have clearly reproducible steps (to see what you see), and there are none here. Cut out the problematic part of the code, run it yourself and then show exactly what is failing.

P. S. To insert the code, please use the "</>" icon or Alt+S.

 

At the end of the code alsoAlert(result.retcode);
