Another realization can be done using the Ask and Bid prices, rather than High[0] and Low[0].

I do have a good template.
I was gonna bring it out later, but sooner might be better.

//----Edit----
I will explain more about this template while this post is editable.

This template is advanced, i have been working on it for about 5 years.
There is no bugs to date known.

As my knowledge in trading progressed, so did my strategies, I have removed most martingale and grid logic.

Using default settings there is no martingale or grid trading.
Any remnants of that code remaining will likely not function.

Im not giving you the exact code, but code you can edit.

just set the tp & sl after the order is opened.
A pending order counts.
Here is some code you can paste and edit.

ticket=0;
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lots,Ask,3,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,Blue);
      if (ticket>0)
      {
      OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET);
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),OrderOpenPrice()-sl*my_point,OrderOpenPrice()+tp*my_point,0,CLR_NONE);
ticket=0;

I would like to clarify the question. Let's say the code enters a buy stop on cand1 but 4 candles pass before entry. I would like SL to be the low of Cand1 when the buy stop order was placed not when the entry was made. I believe that based on your code, SL is determined by the entry price. What can I do to determine the SL based on the candle when the original entry was placed but not necessarily triggered?

Thanks!

no mind them, a trader

he knows it very well but has not made an attempt to put people thru, and you are doing that, instead of him to contribute, he is here to criticize you.

please could you just step thru the code snippet for trading once per signal? I am not just interested in cut, paste and edit I want to see how it works.

@nubcake
however, nubcake, your positive contribution in this coder's corner would be of immense help to some of us and is welcome

thanks

kos,
Here are two MQL4 tutorials that you might find useful because they walk through the concept section by section with explanations. The first article is quite basic and explains how to use an if block to limit processing to once per bar. That concept can be applied to lots of different situations where you want to limit the processing of a condition to only once per bar by setting a module level variable.

The second article comes in two parts, provides reusable code and has a simple EA template available for download at the end.

Have you any MQL5 tutorials or code examples? I've tried to write some but have some trouble with new functions and variable types.
