order count

[[Deleted]]

i would like to write a code for a hedge strategy in one currency and stop open when, for example, buy OP are more then sell OP, so i need to write something like, "if  totalorder of OP_BUY >  totalorders of OP_SELL" any idea?

Set int buy and int sell to 0.
Loop through all orders.
See if OrderType()==OP_BUY, if so buy++
Same for OP_SELL

  int BuyCnt = 0;
  int SellCnt = 0;
  int BuyStopCnt = 0;
  int SellStopCnt = 0;
  int BuyLimitCnt = 0;
  int SellLimitCnt = 0;
  
  int cnt = OrdersTotal();
  for (int i=0; i < cnt; i++) 
  {
    if (!OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)) continue;
    //if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol()) continue;
    //if (OrderMagicNumber() != Magic) continue;
    
    int type = OrderType();
    if (type == OP_BUY) BuyCnt++;
    if (type == OP_SELL) SellCnt++;
    if (type == OP_BUYSTOP) BuyStopCnt++;
    if (type == OP_SELLSTOP) SellStopCnt++;
    if (type == OP_BUYLIMIT) BuyLimitCnt++;
    if (type == OP_SELLLIMIT) SellLimitCnt++;
  }
