OrderType() function returns the following results:

OP_BUY, OP_SELL, OP_BUYSTOP, OP_BUYLIMIT, OP_SELLSTOP, OP_SELLLIMIT

If your order is opened it will reutrn either OP_BUY or OP_SELL. The other results are for pending orders that may be executed in the future.

If you initially sent a pending order and then its OrderType()==OP_BUY this means it is not a pending order anymore. It purchased successfully.

But I recommend to use also OrderSymbol() and OrderMagicNumber() to make sure you select the correct trade, opened by your EA not by another EA or person.
