Count OrderTypes

[[Deleted]]

Does someone know how to code the following Idea:

If we have a hedged Situation (f.e.: 10 Sell and 10 Buy) AND a specific proft target is reached --> Close all orders

My Problem is that i dont know how to count the amoung of open trades.

UPDATE:

I have a first idea but it doenst work fine. The EA opens a hedget Position at the beginning, so i tried to define that the EA only closes all Positions if there were more than 5 Sell and Buy orders.

BUT: The EA closes at the beginning about 10x the first hedget Position and after that he clothes nothing even if its hedget and we have more than 5 Sell/5 Buy. Does someone know how to solve this?

CODE:

int BuyCnt = 0;
int SellCnt = 0;

int abo = OrdersTotal();
for (int i=0; i < abo; i++)
{
if (!OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)) continue;

int type = OrderType();
if (type == OP_BUY) BuyCnt++;
if (type == OP_SELL) SellCnt++;
}
if (BuyCnt<5 && SellCnt<5 && BuyCnt-SellCnt==0)
{
GLBcloseall=true;
}

For instance, this?

#property link      "who cares?"

extern double profit = 1.0; // [0.1 to 100%]
extern int    slippage=3;



void close_all_trades()
{
   for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0;i--)
   {
      if(!OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
         continue;

//      if(OrderSymbol()!=Symbol())
//         continue;
            
      RefreshRates();
      
      if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)           
         OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_BID), slippage,White);
      if(OrderType()==OP_SELL)    
         OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_ASK), slippage,Red);
      if((OrderType()==OP_BUYSTOP) || (OrderType()==OP_BUYLIMIT))           
         OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
      if((OrderType()==OP_SELLSTOP) || (OrderType()==OP_SELLLIMIT))
         OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
   }   
}


int start()
{
  double actual_profit = ((AccountEquity()-AccountBalance())/AccountEquity())*100.0;  
  if(actual_profit>=profit)
      close_all_trades();     
   return(0);
}

Try this to find how many buyorders and how many sellorders for a symbol

     int BuyOrders=0;
     int SellOrders=0;
     int mode;
	  for(int cnt=0;cnt<OrdersTotal();cnt++)
	  {	
	    OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
		 mode=OrderType();
       if (OrderSymbol()==Symbol())		 
		 {
			if (mode==OP_BUY) { 
			BuyOrders++;//Count buyorders
			}
			if (mode==OP_SELL) { 
			SellOrders++;//Count sellorders
			}
		 }
	  }

I dont get the Clue with the first post. But I tried the second... but I have still problems to include it into the EA.

I try to use it on the following EA: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/9125

Maybe someone can include it? I still dont get the wished result :(

Hello,

The close script in MT4 closes the first order entered. I would like it to close the most recent order entered instead. I have trudged around looking at the code snippets here and elsewhere, but I am no programmer. If anyone can do this i would love some help. Thanks! Andy

the code in first post works like an EA. It is always verifying whether profit is above a level. If so, it closes all orders and deletes all pending. The default value for level is 1%.

It is a very basic code. Try understand it to include in your ea.

I understand the TP part but where is the hedge situation described in your code?

[Joao Rosas]

Regardless of the situation in your trading account: open trades, pending trades, hedge, no hedge.... if accountEquity vs accountBalance is at or above the profit level, all orders are closed.

I have a working TP. But i need a code to close all orders in a hedged situation. It will hopefully work as TP then.
