Is this Valid?

double TakeProfit;

int init()
{
//----

//----
return(0);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| expert deinitialization function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int deinit()
{
//----

//----
return(0);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| expert start function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
{
if (condition) {order(); trailing();}
}
//----
return(0);
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void order()
{
double entry = high[1]+point
TakeProfit = entry+high[1] - low[1]
sendorder...
}

void trailing()
{
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-Point*TrailingStop,TakeProfit,0,Blue)
}

So i declared TakeProfit as a global variable,
But a value was assigned to it in the function caller order().

Now can I call that value(TakeProfit) in another function called trailing() without having to assign a value again to TakeProfit.

Hi Brijesh,

if you're asking if this is the correct way of using a variable on the EA's global level then my answer is Yes.
However, I am not sure what you wanna know.

best regards,

Daniel.

Thanks Dani for the reply.

I have 2 functions order() and trailing() respectively.

My actual question is that if I use the variable name "TakeProfit" in the ordermodify part of the second function, where as the value of entry+high[1] - low[1] was assigned to TakeProfit variable in the first function.

Now, when I call the variable TakeProfit in the second function, will it automatically substitute the value of TakeProfit by taking it from the first function.

Note - I have declared the variable 'TakeProfit' globally.

Cheers
