Below is the method I'm using to place an order after three minutes if it doesn't go through. I've converted the larger part of it from mql4 to mql5. It's just the commented part that I'm not sure how I'll change to mql5 since in mql5 send orders return bool's and not int's. I would be glad if I could get help with fixing this remaining part. void MakeOrders() { static datetime lastTime = 0; datetime currTime = iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_M3,0); if (currTime>lastTime) { for (int i=ObjectsTotal(0, 0, -1)-1; i>=0; i--) { string name = ObjectName(0, i, 0, -1); if (ObjectGetString(0, name, OBJPROP_NAME, 0)==OBJ_RECTANGLE && ObjectGetString(0,name,OBJPROP_TEXT)=="") { double entryPrice=ObjectGetDouble(0,name,OBJPROP_PRICE,1)-3*_Point; double stopLoss=ObjectGetDouble(0,name,OBJPROP_PRICE,2); double slDist=fabs(entryPrice-stopLoss); double dTakeProfit=entryPrice-2*slDist; MqlTradeRequest request={0}; MqlTradeResult result={0}; //--- parameters of request request.action =TRADE_ACTION_DEAL; // type of trade operation request.symbol =Symbol(); // symbol request.volume =lotSize; // volume of 0.1 lot request.type =ORDER_TYPE_BUY_LIMIT; // order type request.price = entryPrice; // price for opening //request.deviation=5; // allowed deviation from the price request.magic =magicnumber; // MagicNumber of the order request.tp = dTakeProfit; request.sl = stopLoss; //--- send the request if(!OrderSend(request,result)) PrintFormat("OrderSend error %d",GetLastError()); /* int ticketSell = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLLIMIT,lotSize, entryPrice,0,stopLoss,dTakeProfit,"SellOrder",magicnumber,0,Red); if (ticketSell>0) { ObjectSetText(name,string(ticketSell)); i = ObjectsTotal()-1; // rather than continuing the 'for' loop, we must restart because arrows (ie new objects) were created. } */ } } lastTime = currTime; } }
