Market Order

There are three types of orders that can be placed in MetaTrader: market, stop and limit orders. Being the most common, a market order opens a position immediately at the nearest Bid or Ask price.

Buy

OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,2,Bid-15Point,Bid+15Point);

double bid =MarketInfo("GBPUSD",MODE_BID); // Request for the value of Bid double ask =MarketInfo("GBPUSD",MODE_ASK); // Request for the value of Ask double point =MarketInfo("GBPUSD",MODE_POINT);//Request for Point // Opening BUY OrderSend("GBPUSD",OP_BUY,0.1,ask,2,bid-15Point,bid+15Point); Alert (GetLastError()); // Error message return; // Exit start()
