Something must be wrong with my logic. When i run it through meta traders stratagy tester it doesnt do any trades.

I used Expert Advisor Builder to compile it so im not an expert when it comes to the MQL code. If someone could give it the once over and tell me whhat the think. Or tell me how my logic should look if I want to use an RSI indicator or MACD or any oscillator that uses a number to open posistions.

Thanks

Heres the code

#define SIGNAL_BUY 1
#define SIGNAL_SELL 2
