i try that but what happen is i only get either the buy orders or sell orders ( whatever i put in the code first, in this case i put buy orders first)

int start()
  {

int ticket;
// sending long Orders 
   ticket = OrderSend(BUY);
      if (ticket > 0)
      {
         if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES))
            Print("open buy order : ", OrderOpenPrice());
      }
         else
         Print("error opening buy order : ", GetLastError());
         return(0);


     ticket = OrderSend(SELL);
      if (ticket == 1)
      {
         if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES))
            Print("open sell order : ", OrderOpenPrice());
      }
         else
         Print("error opening sell order : ", GetLastError());
         return(0);

   return(0);
  }

let's say per bar:

int totalBars;

int start()
{
   if(Bars > totalBars){
      if(OrdersTotal() == 0){
         OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, 0.01, Ask, 3, 15 * Point, 15 * Point, "", 0, 0, Blue);
         OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, 0.01, Bid, 3, 15 * Point, 15 * Point, "", 0, 0, Red);
         
         totalBars = Bars;
      }
   }
     
   return(0);
}

Terminal is single threaded

It will only ever do ONE Trade Operation at a time.

look at Editor documentation in following order...

1. refer to: MQL4 Reference - Checkup
2. refer to: MQL4 Reference - Trading functions

Have you read the MQL4 Book????
