Simple problem I am sure the great minds will fix in a couple of mins

Hi hope you can help

Hi all i am trying something out on the bob scalper method. I am trying to put together and ea I have 2 current problems
1) I want to stop the ea for a pair if the stoploss is hit
I am setting the stoploss to the Daily Pivot (variable - DP), I have the DP value set in Global Varibles and am pulling this value into the ea fine (I display it on the chart via screen message) but using this code does not seem to work to set the stop loss when a trade is triggered

'double stop = NormalizeDouble(DP ,Digits);

bool result = SendSingleTrade(OP_BUY, TradeComment, Lot, Ask, stop, take);
Trade is being sent but with sl 00000'

2) I have again a variable vsacode which i pulldown from globalvariables the number is either a number between 0-8 , 9-22 or a no signal value 2147483647

I am trying to us a simple if statement to provide signal (signal1) for the ea

code is

double vsacode=GlobalVariableGet(Symbol()+ "vsacode");

int signal1;
if (vsacode < 9){signal1 = 1;}
if (vsacode >8){signal1 =2;}
if (vsacode >30){signal1=vsacode;}

Again for confirmation i am displaying the value in the chart value vsacode and signal 1

What i get is vsacode values correct ie either a number from 0-8 , 9-22 or 2147483647
but the signal 1 value is either 0 or 2147483647


Help please

Hi censura,
Had a quick look and it appears that you are the assigning the variable stop, with the DP price level.
You are using the same variable as SL in the SendSingleTrade statement.
So, I think you need to find the difference between entry and DP and then use the pip value in the Order command.
Hope that helps fix the problem,
EP

Looks to me that your value comparison is not right in the 2nd part of your question....

You might try this way
if if (vsacode <= 8){signal1 = 2;} // less or equal 8
if (vsacode >=9 && vsacode <=22){signal1 =1;} // greater or equal 9 AND equal or less than 22
if (vsacode >30){signal1=vsacode;}

From your code it is not clear to me which signal value goes with which range, so please correct as necessary

Dont have your complete code so cant test...
