I have an extern double StopLossPips and I would like to make it conditional with an IF statement. Basically I don't want the stop loss to kick in unless some condition exists in the market. In this case price above/below a 5MA. (_Is5MAStopUp) I have tried to implement it within the code where the StopLossPips is referenced and I have put it before the subopenorder and 1-2 other places but not luck. I cant understand why the IF statement will not take. Any help appreciated.
Inserted Code
if (
(OpenOnSignalChange && lastDirection != OP_BUY && curDirection == OP_BUY)
||
(!OpenOnSignalChange && curDirection == OP_BUY && TradeCount[OP_BUY] == 0 && lastDirection == -1)
)
{
closeTrades(OP_SELL);
if(_Is5MAStopUp) {
if (StopLossPips > 0)StopLoss = Ask - StopLossPips * MyPoint; else StopLoss = getZigZagStopLoss(OP_BUY);
Lots = getLotSize3( (Ask-StopLoss)/MyPoint );
subOpenOrder(OP_BUY,StopLossPips,TakeProfitPips,Lots);
lastDirState = 1;
}} else if ( (OpenOnSignalChange && lastDirection != OP_SELL && curDirection == OP_SELL)
|| (!OpenOnSignalChange && curDirection == OP_SELL && TradeCount[OP_SELL] == 0 && lastDirection == -1)
) {
closeTrades(OP_BUY);
if(_Is5MAStopDown){
if (StopLossPips > 0)StopLoss = Bid + StopLossPips * MyPoint; else StopLoss = getZigZagStopLoss(OP_SELL);
Lots = getLotSize3( (StopLoss-Bid)/MyPoint );
//to otwiera pierwsze zlecenia
subOpenOrder(OP_SELL, StopLossPips,TakeProfitPips,Lots);
//Comment("SUB "+TimeToStr(TimeCurrent()));
//Print("SUB "+TimeToStr(TimeCurrent()));
lastDirState = 1;
}
}
else
{
if(lastDirState==1)
lastDirState = -1;
}
