Hi, I would like to know if is its possible in an EA to have it Buy again after a previous Buy trade has been opened and closed. In other words to buy every time there is a valid condition and not wait for the Sell signal before opening another trade. I am having a difficult time in making an EA take another buy trade in the trend direction after it has opened and closed a buy trade. Due to last direction and current direction.
If this is possible then at least I know its doable. Open on signal change was a way to make it try and take another trade. Though it will open on any subsequent bar whether the trade condition is true or not.
Thanks

PHP Code
if ( (OpenOnSignalChange && lastDirection != OP_BUY && curDirection == OP_BUY)
|| (!OpenOnSignalChange && curDirection == OP_BUY && TradeCount[OP_BUY] == 0)
) {
closeTrades(OP_SELL);
if (StopLossPips > 0) StopLoss = Ask - StopLossPips * MyPoint; else StopLoss = getZigZagStopLoss(OP_BUY);
Lots = getLotSize3( (Ask-StopLoss)/MyPoint );
OpenOrder(OP_BUY, Lots, Slippage, StopLoss, TakeProfitPips, "", MagicNumber, 3, Blue);
} else if ( (OpenOnSignalChange && lastDirection != OP_SELL && curDirection == OP_SELL)
|| (!OpenOnSignalChange && curDirection == OP_SELL && TradeCount[OP_SELL] == 0)
) {
closeTrades(OP_BUY);
if (StopLossPips > 0) StopLoss = Bid + StopLossPips * MyPoint; else StopLoss = getZigZagStopLoss(OP_SELL);
Lots = getLotSize3( (StopLoss-Bid)/MyPoint );
OpenOrder(OP_SELL, Lots, Slippage, StopLoss, TakeProfitPips, "", MagicNumber, 3, Red);
}
lastDirection = curDirection;
