OK, I got you now. . So this ought to work and I could change pricepoint from 40 to 400 to get a five digit broker, yes?

Extern pricepoint=40 //enabled drop in pips per hour prior to order send

if((kind == _OP_Buy) (iHigh(NULL,Period_H1, two)-(pricepoint*0.0001) gt;= iClose(NULL,Period_H1,1)))

{
MayOpenRealOrder = true;

On your top where you have the extern variables put:

int Mult = 1;

Subsequently from the init() put:

if (Digits == 3 || Digits == 5)
Mult = 10;

Subsequently from the code You've Placed:

if((type == _OP_Buy) (iHigh(NULL,Period_H1, Two)-(pricepoint*Stage*Mult) gt;= iClose(NULL,Period_H1,1)))

{
MayOpenRealOrder = true;

This Can automatically account for a 4 or 5 digit broker.

Okay, thank you for that. .

Now, the last and essential question... Where do I paste that line of code at the EA so it doesn't do any damage but still works?

Would someone have a look at it only to let me know where I should paste it.

Thanks everybody, you have all been great!

No, the code is not working. . Sending buy orders on a downtrend. I have it in the wrong place or perhaps it they're various orders than actual orders.

I changed it a bit to find out whether it was the fault of the code but it is not making a huge difference.

I've pasted some initial code so that you guys can tell me whether It's in the wrong place

thanks A


if(MayOpenRealOrder)

if(! GlCheckHighLowLimit(_OrderOpenPrice, kind, typestr)) MayOpenRealOrder = false;


if(MayOpenRealOrder)

if(! GlCheckOpenOrdersBeforeAdding(_OrderOpenPrice, _OrderType, CurrentPrice)) MayOpenRealOrder = false;

if(MayOpenRealOrder) //code added Aug 20 2009

if((kind == _OP_BUY) (iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_H1,2) gt;= iClose(NULL,PERIOD_H1,1) (pricepoint*0.0001))) MayOpenRealOrder = false;

Thanks so much to the folks that assisted me.

You're a credit to this forum. .

It is all working now, let me know if there is something I can return

cheers
