Hi

Check OrdersTotal() and don't look to place a trade if >0. If you have pending orders you will have to filter those out.

thanks for replay Ruptor

i used this code 

       
 int handle=FileOpen("OrdersReport.csv",FILE_WRITE|FILE_CSV,"\t");
  if(handle<0) return(0);
  // write header
  FileWrite(handle,"#","open price","open time","symbol","lots");
  int total=OrdersTotal();
  // write open orders
  for(int pos=0;pos<total;pos++)
    {
     if(OrderSelect(pos,SELECT_BY_POS)==false) continue;
     FileWrite(handle,OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),OrderOpenTime(),OrderSymbol(),OrderLots());
    }
  FileClose(handle);

and nothing happen, should i change any text in it??

Hi

The code you posted writes to a file it doesn't place orders. It won't write to the file if there are no oirders so that looks ok if that's what you want.

i think that i need another,

my problem is any expert i write for example it open orders by candle close, every candle the expert will open an order, i want to prevent the expert to open more than the first order

i wish that i can find the solution

thank you again

Hi Ruptor

it works, thank you 

can we improve this code to work for each symbol and for daily ? for example : open one order only for each pair, open one order per day

thank you very much
