I'm trying to write a routine that will display the Margin Call Closeout price (margin call) for the current trade. I got this far but something tells me is just not this easy. I've compared my results to the OANDA Margin Closeout Calculator

I'm moving my MT4 to Oanda but having trouble placing orders (OrderSend).  I've read through the various threads here and I still can't seem to find a solution. Of course Oanda can not provide technical support MT4. But Oanda says they do

I've been setting my stoploss and takeprofit based on price volume. So I created this indicator that determines the high and low for some number of bars and uses that spread to place two moving horizontal lines indicating where the stoploss and
