Or, if you have had the sense to come to grips with and use Paul's pip factor code from my shells:

Code: Select all

double PendingBufferPips = 10;//Declare this somewhere you can find it easily so you can play around with the buffer
double BuyStopPrice = iHigh(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1, 1) + (PendingBufferPips / factor);
Great to see you making progress. :clap:

Don't know. Not a mind reader. No idea what you have coded. How could I?

what i mean is iLow(NULL,PERIOD_H1,1) <-- will always return 0 for me even if its the only code in the start loop.

I will figure it out though thx for the reply.

Make sure you are calling iLow with a double i.e.
double CandleLow = iLow(NULL,PERIOD_H1,1);

These days, I do not trust NULL, and so always make the call
double CandleLow = iLow(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,1);

If that doesn't work then you are stuffed. Delete the platform and reinstall it somewhere else. Always somewhere else to make sure you are not merely reinstalling on top of rubbish that is not removed by the reinstalation.

Hello, sorry if this is a noob question
I want to know if an EA can withdraw a not filled pending order made by itself when an opossite signal appears, is it possible to achieve?

Yes, the function to use is OrderDelete(), with the ticket number of the pending order.
