Select different order types

New comment

hurryc 2017.03.07 23:02

Hi all I would like to know what function I need to use to select orders.

Example

I have 10 orders: 6 open, and 4 pending.

1 ==> OP_BUY

2 ==> OP_BUY

3 ==> OP_BUY

4 ==> OP_BUY

5 ==> OP_SELL

6 ==> OP_SELL

7 ==> OP_BUYSTOP

8 ==> OP_BUYSTOP

9 ==> OP_SELLSTOP

10 ==> OP_SELLSTOP

My questions are how to select the last OP_BUY, the last OP_SELL, the last OP_BUYSTOP and the last OP_SELLSTOP

You should in cycle find the latest one (based on OrderOpenTime()) for each type, and then get its Ticket Number.

‌for each type:

‌

datetime last_date=-1;‌ int last=0;

if(OrderOpenTime()>last_date)
{
last=OrderMagicNumber();
last_date=OrderOpenTime();‌

}‌

return last;‌

Don't forget to OrderSelect() first.

bool Select_Latest_Order(int order_type)
  {
   datetime last_time = 0;
   int ticket = -1;
   for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)
     {
      if(!OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS)) continue;
      if(OrderSymbol() != _Symbol)      continue; // optional
      if(OrderMagicNumber() != magic)   continue; // optional
      if(OrderType() != order_type)     continue;
      datetime open_time = OrderOpenTime();
      if(open_time > last_time)
        {
         ticket = OrderTicket();
         last_time = open_time;
        }
     }
   return(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET));
  }

Please use this function:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Check Last Trade function                                        |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int CheckLastTrade(int Type)
{
   datetime OpenTime = 0;
   int Ticket = 0;
   for( int cnt = OrdersTotal()-1; cnt >= 0; cnt-- )
      if ( OrderSelect( cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES ))
         if ( OrderType() == Type )
            if ( OrderOpenTime() > OpenTime )
               Ticket = OrderTicket();
   return (Ticket);
}

‌If you want to check the last OP_BUY, you can use :

int LastBuy = CheckLastTrade(OP_BUY);

‌The result is the ticket number of last buy‌

Hi,I am learning the trading, and I started in expert advisors programming. Thanks for the tips I would apply them.i use this code

int CheckLastTrade()

{

   datetime OpenTime = 0;

   int Ticket = 0;

   for( int cnt = OrdersTotal()-1; cnt >= 0; cnt-- )

      if ( OrderSelect( cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES ))

         if ( OrderType() == OP_SELLSTOP )

            if ( OrderOpenTime() > OpenTime )

               Ticket = OrderTicket();Alert ("Ticket=",Ticket);

   return (Ticket);‌

my orders

‌‌‌‌‌

‌

i‌ used Alert to see the résult

Result ‌

B‌ut i wanted use the ticket number 89565547(the last OP_SELLSTOP) for the part of the code) ( i wish that it s clear for you

 
void deletingPendingOrdersSell()
                
 {if (Bid-LastPenedingOrderSellStop<1000*Point){ // the LastPenedingOrderSellStop must be the ticket n°89565547, the number 1000 is only for the tests when the code will be good then i ll change it 
   
   // Iterate orders
        for(int i = OrdersTotal()-1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
                OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES); Type = OrderType();
                if(OrderSymbol() == Symbol())
                { 
             if(Type == OP_BUYSTOP  || Type == OP_BUYLIMIT )  
             if(Type == OP_SELLLIMIT  || Type == OP_SELLSTOP|| Type == OP_BUYSTOP||Type == OP_BUYLIMIT )
            {
            if(!OrderDelete(OrderTicket()))
               Print(ShortName +" (OrderDelete Error) "+ ErrorDescription(GetLastError()));
         }
      }
   }
        }

How do you open each OP_SELLSTOP order? different magic number?
better to assign different magic number, as it is easier to select from order pool.

void DeletePendingOrders(int magic, int type)
{
   for(int order = 0; order <= OrdersTotal() - 1; order++)
   {
      bool select = OrderSelect(order,SELECT_BY_POS);
      
      if(select && OrderMagicNumber()==magic && OrderType()==type)
      {
         bool Deleted = OrderDelete(OrderTicket(),clrRed);
         if(Deleted)
         {
            order--;
            Print("Order # ", OrderTicket(), " deleted");
         }
      }
   }
}

hurryc: I would apply them.i use this code	Why did you post the same broken CheckLastTrade? We asked you to edit your previous post with SRC. I asked you a question that should have lead you to the problem and solution, but you ignored it. (#6/#2)

hi Mohamad Zulhairi Baba

thank for your reply , as i told you im not a programmer , and i try to make my EA , and a good strategy .At this moment work with a magic number is not important as my code is not correct , but later it will be an obligation .your code is good but my probleme is the condition, to be more simple i need to call the procedure DeletePendingOrders(int magic, int type) only if (Bid-the last OP_SELLSTOP>140*Point)
