Hi Guys , ive tried many thing but i cant solve this....

I have Several pairs being analysed and when a condition its true i want to send a order...

Example:

if(Sell_GBPCAD)
{
ticket1=OrderSend("GBPCAD",OP_SELL,FixedLotSize,Bid,3,0,Bid - 0.00050,"SG_PipKiller",MAGICMA,0,Red);
CountB_GBPCAD=False;
}
if(ticket1>0)
{
if(OrderSelect(ticket1,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES))
Print("SELL GBPCAD order opened : ",OrderOpenPrice());
}
else
Print("Error opening SELL GBPCAD order : ",GetLastError()) ;

Now because im loading the EA on EURUSD Chart , its always putting the order on EURUSD and this case its for GBPCAD ...

Someone can help me :-)

Thanks

If you want to open an order for a pair other than the one the EA is applied on, you must define the right price in the OrderSend().

Bid refers only to the current chart price.

You must replace Bid by MarketInfo("XXXYYY",MODE_BID) ... Of course XXXYYY being the pair you are opening an order.

And you must do this to each part refering to the current chart values.

BTW, note that this kind of EA can't be backtested as MT4 backtester doesn't allow multi pairs.
