Help! set trade direction switch?

Hi Guys,

Can anyone help me to code this switch to set the trade direction in my EA Please,

I'm bamboozled - not sure of the correct approach - I'm not a coder but I get by with cutn'paste and trialn'error but this one's got me stumped.

I need to set the direction of trades for the day from the Awesome Oscillator indicator at a predetirmined time.

So, say the bar at 0 hour is red on the AO, the switch will set to SELL and then reset for 0 hour the next day and visa versa.

If you have any ideas it would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

use either OP_BUY or OP_SELL with OrderSend

Thanks for the reply paul_b,
sending the orders is not the problem, this is what I need to accomplish but don't have the coding skills to do using 15m timeframe;

if AO = RED at 00.00 hour then SELL until 23.45, else BUY, reset.

Specifically I don't know how to get the 00.00 hour AO bar direction - need some coding help here - if I can get this switch to work then I can add it to the code I have already got.

Cheers

Try something like...

int t = StrToTime(StringConcatenate(Year(),".",Month(),".",Day(), " ", "00:00"));
int z = iBarShift(NULL, 15, t, false);

if(iCustom(NULL, 15, "Awesome", 0, z) > iCustom(NULL, 15, "Awesome", 0, z+1))
//your BUY function
else
//your Sell function

Thanks so much futurespec, tested and working as intended.

I would never of arrived at this code on my own, so good that people like yourself are willing to help others.

I am testing an EA cobbled together check some observations I've noticed and if anything comes of it I will post for you.

Cheers
