Only go long of last trade was short and vice versa code

Greetings all,

I need a code that will only allow my expert to go long if the last trade was short and only go short if the last trade was long.

Thanks...........

 

use OrderType to determine the last closed order...then you can use it as a criteria like :


for(cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)
{
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY);
if(OrderType()<=OP_SELL && // check for opened position
OrderSymbol()==Symbol()) // check for symbol
{
if(OrderType()==OP_BUY) // long position is opened
{

only_shorts=true;

only_Longs=false;

}


if(OrderType==OP_SELL)

{

only_shorts=false;

only_longs=true;

}


if(only_shorts)open_short();

if(only_longs)open_long();


then make 2 custom functions called :


void open_short()

{

ticket=OrderSend(....);

only_shorts=false;

}

void open_long()

{

ticket=OrderSend(....);

only_longs=false;

}


if im wrong i am sure a better coder will correct me and help you...cheers :)
