You'd need to post the section of code so we can investigate. CB

Usually, this is due to people selecting using a ticket number but still using SELECT_BY_POS instead of SELECT_BY_TICKET.

Hello I was wondering if you could help me with a couple of questions...

1. What is the logic difference between...

for (int index = OrdersTotal() - 1; index >= 0; index--)

and

for (int index = 0; index < OrdersTotal(); index ++)

2. I am using the following to get the last opened order entry price for calculation purposes.

for (int index = 0; index < OrdersTotal(); index ++) {
OrderSelect(index, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol && OrderMagicNumber() == MNumber) EntryPrice = OrderOpenPrice();
}

This works fine but if I have five opened orders, (looking at the order history as ascending),

I need to get the first opened order entry price, (number Five, the oldest in the index), and then

I need to be able to get the entry price for the second and third order. And then I can use the code above for the last one (first one in the index).

Thanks in advance guys!

loop thru all open orders from the end to the begining

and

for (int index = 0; index < OrdersTotal(); index ++)

loop thru all open orders from the begining to the end

}

for checking the history, u have use OrdersHistoryTotal()

I need to get the first opened order entry price, (number Five, the oldest in the index), and then

I need to be able to get the entry price for the second and third order. And then I can use the code above for the last one (first one in the index).

checking time, OrderOpenTime() would be the easiest

Thanks in advance guys!

1. You must count down when closing or deleting, or in the presence of other chart orders.
2. Always test return codes
