Hello

Is there any body who Knows how to buy or sell two or more currencies with OrderSend command in an Expert advisor.when I use this two lines:

ticket1=OrderSend("EURUSD",OP_BUY,LotsOptimized(),Ask,3,Ask-Stoploss*Point,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,"macd sample",16384,0,Green);

ticket2=OrderSend("USDCHF",OP_BUY,LotsOptimized(),Ask,3,Ask-Stoploss*Point,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,"macd sample",16384,0,Green);

only the currency which is selected in the strategy tester is activated and the other one dose not work.

The problem is you're using Ask which is based off the current chart's currency. Try replacing Ask with MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_ASK); You'll also need to get the Point from MarketInfo as well.

Thanks videoj.

I tried MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_ASK), but when i using "USDCHF" as based currency in tester it returns Zero number for MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_ASK).

I don't know if the tester supports multiple curriences. You might post this questions at MetaQuote's forum at http://metaquotes.net/forum/
