hi all, been lurking for a bit and thought I'd ask the forum, of the problem.
this breakout system i made doesn't open any trades ?

rules:
buy on the bar high crossing the highest high of the 70 periods.
exit t/p or s/l or close <180ma.
same for short.

thanks for any help with this

Open 3 trades? Just put multiple OrderSend() functions...

It looks like you're using my coding style, but anyway.

// if(TradeTrigger == "Open Long") Order = SIGNAL_BUY;

if(highs1 > hi1 && hi > highs) Order = SIGNAL_BUY;

   //Buy
   if (Order == SIGNAL_BUY && ((EachTickMode && !TickCheck) || (!EachTickMode && (Bars != BarCount)))) {
      if(!IsTrade) {
         //Check free margin

            Print("We have no money. Free Margin = ", AccountFreeMargin());
            return(0);
         }

         if (UseStopLoss) StopLossLevel = Ask - StopLoss * Point; else StopLossLevel = 0.0;
         if (UseTakeProfit) TakeProfitLevel = Ask + TakeProfit * Point; else TakeProfitLevel = 0.0;

         if(Ticket > 0) {

                Print("SELL order opened : ", OrderOpenPrice());

         if (EachTickMode) TickCheck = True;

         return(0);
      }
   }

   if (!EachTickMode) BarCount = Bars;

   return(0);
}



Just remember to establish Ticket1 and Ticket2
