How to set an order few pips above order initiation bar

New comment
 
Hello, I would like to create a stoploss order that will be placed above the high of the previous order's initiation bar.
Here is a picture to Illustrate the issue (In the example (picture)  there is a sell order):

Any Idea how to do that? The code below works fine If I use stoploss that is fixed.If I replace the stoploss with  variables that are based on High or Low no orders are fired. 
double HH=High[1];
double LL=Low[1];

Thanks @gooly, I'm new to MQL4 so I don't see the right place to look for in the "Moving Average.mq4".
Can you direct me a little bit?
Thanks,
Ron

msrron: I used "High[1]" but It dosen't provide the right outcome.
  1. Don't paste code

  2. "Doesn't work" is meaningless - just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires - meaningless. There are no mind readers here.

learn to code it, or pay someone. We're not going to code it FOR you. We are willing to HELP you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem.

Well @WHRoeder as for your points:
1.I edited it. This is my first time here.. 
2.The use of high[1] is not relevant as it is not the right solution.
3.Nobody asked for coding anything , I just asked for a help on a specific and well define problem.
4.I showed my code ( in the relevant part), I guess that is  an attempt, don't you think?

  1. dosen't provide the right outcome
    nature of your problem is not well defined.

  2. double StopLossSell = High[1] +StopPoints*Point
    Where do you use StopLossSell. No where. No attempt in my book.

Still don't really know what you want. A buy-order has to have a SL that is more than MODE_STOPLEVEL*Point lower than the entry.
Do you know OrderModify(..) and the example in the reference?

	          




		          
	          




          

        

        


            

          

              
	          

		          
		          
                
		          



			           



	          


	          

		          Hello @gooly, In the example (picture)  there is a sell order, I would like to know how can I extract the high of the bar before the sell order's bar (Initiation bar) so I'll be able to put the SL few pips above it.
I'll do the oposite for a buy order.
Regarding the  MODE_STOPLEVEL*Point  - I'll learn about it but I suspect that this can be only part of the solution.
Thanks
Ron
