OrderType problem

[[Deleted]]

My EA has a problem identifying open orders correctly, and to test the logic I made a small program that checks if there is an open order and if so, is it buy or sell.
The program is as follows:

if (OrdersTotal()==1)
{
if (OrderType()==OP_BUY) Comment("Buy");
if (OrderType()==OP_SELL) Comment("Sell");
}
else
{
Comment("No Order");
}

If there are no open orders it comments correctly, No Order.
The problem is if there is an open order the comment is "Buy" regardless of whether it is a buy or sell order. Why is that?
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong here.


Thanks,
Rayner

You have to call OrderSelect() before you can call any of the order query functions like OrderType().
