I am trying to modify a basic script so that i can buy 1 lot of say usdjpy and sell 1 lot of nzdusd at the same time.

I am trying to alter the basic trade script in the mt4 platform but i dont know the syntax.

I am trying this but it doesnt seem to work- i changed SYMBOL to "USDJPY"





int start()
{
//----
int ticket=OrderSend("USDJPY",OP_BUY, 1, Ask, 3, NULL, NULL, "expert comment", 255, 0, CLR_NONE);

if(ticket<1)
{
int error=GetLastError();
Print("Error = ",ErrorDescription(error));
return;
}
//----
OrderPrint();
return(0);
}




Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

Also do i just add in the same for the sell part changing the symbol, changing buy to sell and ask to bid? Yes

Thanks if anyone can help

Best regards Paul

Thanks for your help so far.

I have used the market info and it works thanks. however when i add another line but this time to sell at market price it doesnt work. I just cant work out what im doing wrong. Even if i just put a sell order in it doesnt work so it must be something to do with that

This works

int start()
{
//----
int ticket=OrderSend("EURUSD",OP_BUY,1.0,MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_ASK),0,"expert comment",255,0,CLR_NONE);

if(ticket<1)

{
int error=GetLastError();
Print("Error = ",ErrorDescription(error));
return;
}
//----
OrderPrint();
return(0);
}




And this doesn't?

int start()
{
//----
int ticket=OrderSend("EURUSD",OP_BUY,1.0,MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_ASK),0,"expert comment",255,0,CLR_NONE);

int ticket2=OrderSend("GBPUSD",OP_SELL,1.0,MarketInfo("GBPUSD",MODE_BID),0,"expert comment",255,0,CLR_NONE);

if(ticket<1)

if(ticket2<1)
{
int error=GetLastError();
Print("Error = ",ErrorDescription(error));
return;
}
//----
OrderPrint();
return(0);
}



Can anyone please see what is wrong as ive just about tried everything.


Thanks paul
