Coding ATR or Manual Value for Stop Loss

Hi all,

I'm trying to give an option of whether to use an ATR or a Manual pip value for the Take profit.

However if (Use_ATR) is false then the TP order is always placed at (apparently) the trade open price instead of a value Manual_Stop_Loss away from the open.

I'm a total beginner so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

------------

if(Use_ATR)
tp_pips = NormalizeDouble(ATR*ATR_Multiple,Digits);
else
tp_pips = Manual_Take_Profit * Point;

double tp_long=NormalizeDouble(Ask + tp_pips,Digits);
double tp_short=NormalizeDouble(Bid - tp_pips,Digits);

-----------------------

This will arrange the stop levels depending on the price and ATR.

we would have to see your ordermodify code, that's probably where your problem is.

Cheers guys,

In fact, I just moved the entire code down 40 lines and put it inside a small routine rather than using it to produce a variable which the routine then uses.

I have no idea what the difference could possibly be.

Thanks anyway
