script does not work

rjngh2005 2016.10.21 12:42

I wrote the following script... I expect that when i drop this script in the chart a input window will open to
 allow me to enter the value at run time - This is not happening.  Please assist

extern double ovalue1=1.5;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Script program start function                                    |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnStart()
  {
//---


   OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT,0.2,ovalue1,3,ovalue1-(30*Point*10),ovalue1+(15*Point*10));

  }

I even tried changing the first line to

input double ovalue1=1.5;

You have to use the program property "script_show_inputs"! Please read the documentation on this and other properties.
