II. Main function code

1. Trailling and count position function

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|Count position and Trailling Functiom                              |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

void  count_position(int &count_buy, int &count_sell, double &_atr[])

  {
   
   count_buy=0; count_sell=0;
   int total_postion=PositionsTotal();
   double cp=0.0, op=0.0, sl=0.0,tp=0.0; ulong ticket=0.0;
   for ( int i=total_postion-1; i>=0; i--)
     {
     if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i))
      {
      if(m_position.Symbol()==_Symbol && m_position.Magic()== m_magicnumber)
       cp=m_position.PriceCurrent();op=m_position.PriceOpen();sl=m_position.StopLoss();tp=m_position.TakeProfit();ticket=m_position.Ticket();
       {       
       if(m_position.PositionType()== POSITION_TYPE_BUY)
        {
        count_buy++;
        double Traill= cp-Trailling*_atr[1];
        if(cp>sl+Trailling_Step*_atr[1] && Traill>sl)
         {
          trade.PositionModify(ticket,Traill,tp);
         }
        }
      
       if(m_position.PositionType()== POSITION_TYPE_SELL)
        {
         count_sell++;
         double Traill= cp+Trailling*_atr[1];
         if(cp<sl-Trailling_Step*_atr[1] && Traill<sl)
         
         {
          trade.PositionModify(ticket,Traill,tp);
         }
        }
         
       }
      }
     
     }
  }

2. caculate lot size

double calculate_lotsize(double sl, double price)   
 
 {
  double lots=0.,margin ;
  double lotstep= SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP);
 double ticksize = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE);
   double tickvalue = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE);
  double balance= AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_BALANCE);
  double point= SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_POINT);
  //double  loss=MathRound((MathAbs(price-sl)/ ticksize) * ticksize );
  double  loss=MathAbs(price-sl)/point;  m_symbol.NormalizePrice(loss);
  double Risk= initial_risk*balance;
  if(loss!=0)
   {
    lots=MathAbs(Risk/loss);
    lots=MathFloor(lots/lotstep)*lotstep;
   }  
   if(OrderCalcMargin(ORDER_TYPE_BUY,_Symbol,lots,price,margin))
       {
         double free_margin=AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_MARGIN_FREE);
         if(free_margin<0)
           {
            lots=0;
           }
         else if(free_margin<margin)
           {
            lots=lots*free_margin/margin;
            lots=MathFloor(lots/lotstep-1)*lotstep;
           }
        }
   lots=MathMax(lots,SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN));
   lots=MathMin(lots,SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_VOLUME_MAX));
   return lots;
 }

3. Main tick function

  {
if(OpenBar(Symbol()))

//   Broker parameter                                               
    
double point = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_POINT);
double ask= SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK);
double bid= SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID);
double spread=ask-bid;
double stoplevel= (int)SymbolInfoInteger(_Symbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL);

 // Count bjuy and count sell
 int count_buy=0; int count_sell=0;
 count_position(count_buy,count_sell,atr);

 // Main condition for buy and sell
 
    if(count_buy==0)
     {
       if(ask>(HH) && High[highest] > MA_Filter[highest]  )
        {
         double  entryprice= ask;
         double  sl        = LL;
         double  tp        = entryprice   +TP_factor*atr[1];
         double lotsize    = calculate_lotsize(sl,entryprice);
        if(  bid-sl>stoplevel && tp-bid>stoplevel&& CheckVolumeValue(lotsize) )
         {
         trade.Buy(lotsize,_Symbol,entryprice,sl,tp, " Buy Mr Tan ");
        
         }
       }
     }
    if(count_sell==0)
     {
    if(bid<(LL) && Low[lowest] < MA_Filter[lowest])
        {

         double  sl        = HH;
         double  tp        = entryprice   -TP_factor*atr[1];
         double lotsize    = calculate_lotsize(sl,entryprice);
         if(  sl-ask>stoplevel && ask-tp>stoplevel&& CheckVolumeValue(lotsize) )
         {
          trade.Sell(lotsize,_Symbol,entryprice,sl,tp, " Sell Mr Tan ");
         }
        }
