( Ask) How to fix this code?

i'm using this code to stop my ea trading when the bands come together

double upper1=iBands(NULL,bbtimeframe,bbperiod,deviation,0,PRICE_OPEN,MODE_UPPER,0);
double lower1=iBands(NULL,bbtimeframe,bbperiod,deviation,0,PRICE_OPEN,MODE_LOWER,0);


if((upper1==lower1))return(0);

it works great, however, return(0); also stops the whole ea from functioning

Question: how to add code so that (upper1==lower1) justs stop ea from placing new orders, rather than stopping the whole ea

my place order and close order code is

if ( filter1>filter2) buy=true;

  }
  
  if(
  filter1<filter2) sell=true;

  }

  if((filter1<filter2))closebuy();
  if((filter1>filter2))closesell();

much thanks

How about adding this little thing to your code??

if ( filter1>filter2 && upper1!=lower1) buy=true;

  }
  
  if(
  filter1<filter2 && upper1!=lower1) sell=true;

  }

  if((filter1<filter2 ))closebuy();
  if((filter1>filter2 ))closesell();

thanks scarface looks like it will work

so what does(!) mean in Mql ?

Re: ( Ask) How to fix this code?

Hi zoop,

Good day,

It is simple and here is a short explanation as well.

Let's say that Value1==Value2 ............... This means that both values have the same values.

If you want them NOT to equal, simply remove one equal sign from (==) to (!=).

So now you can see that (==) means equal in value.

And (!=) means not equal in value.

sometimes you can use ! in front of a constant function. For example, !IsDemo...... This means it won't send orders.

They are opposite of each other.

I hope this is clear to you.

Best wishes,

You can use boolean to prevent the ea from new order opening as well.

For example:

// --------------------------------------
bool openneworder = true;
if (upper1==lower1) openneworder = false;
// --------------------------------------
Before the OrderSend line you should insert this code:
if (openneworder)

Hope this helps!
