Attached is a part of a Expert Advisor I have been working on to examine out a trading egy, but I'm having some difficulty with the limitations of MQL4 when dealing with arrays. What I want to so is use an array to store information regarding the situations that that I have open and additionally to redefine the elements' values. What I want to implement is a series of 3 functions that reconstructs the collection of open orders. This could be done after closing or every position opening. The next function is supposed to sort the open orders according to their respective opening prices. The sequential function would be to reevaluate the stop loss and take profit values. The values to the prevent losses and make profit values are to be based upon the introductory price of the order. I desired the EA to execute the stop loss and take profit values. I am aware there are risks to establishing an EA this way and with doing so, that I wish to proceed.
Double OrderStack[7][9]; // Order information array
if((OrderStack[TotalOrders 1][1] lt; Bid) (TotalOrders lt; 2)) // Opens new Sell position at more favorable price
//3
TicketNum = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,LotSize2,Bid,3,0,0,Comm entString,0,0,Red); //Open this order.
If(TicketNumlt;0)
//4
Print(Error Opening Trade: Error Code = ,GetLastError(),, Lotsize: ,Lots);
//3
else
//4
if(OrderSelect(TicketNum,SELECT_BY_TICKET))
//5
Print(Sell Order Opened at Price: ,OrderOpenPrice());
OrderFlagS = 1; // Used by primary EA function for remarks

The problem I am having with implementing this EA is that the compiler gives me error messages about ”array item cannot be assigned” for the code in my FillStack() function. What is perplexing is that it look like that is precisely what's being done from the Terminal() function above my FillStack() function. I'm hoping that one of those programmers that are experienced can give me a cure for this bug.
Its hard to believe that with all of the similarities which MQL4 has C that the capability to assign values to array elements like C wouldn't exist in MQL4 also. Thank you.
