Hi, I got a short question, hopfully not too simple for the experts here.
I'm wanting to create a very simple EA for checking things.

Now I realised that sometimes an open position is not closed (so 2 positions short and long remain open) or for exmaple a short position is not triggered/opened
I guess the mistake in the code is a simple one?
Always code your EA to handle restarts (The computer reboots, the terminal crashes, the user switches charts or selects refresh)
Find out if you have a open order (orderCount/orderSelect) before opening a new one.

A stop an reverse system, so it is always either long or short (i.e. it has always exactly 1 open position).
My code for the trading operations:
int TicketBuy,TicketSell;
if (......condition ti buy .... = true) i.e. open Long position...and close short if it exists
{TicketBuy=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,20, Bid-Stoploss*Point,Bid+Takeprofit*Point);OrderClose(TicketSell,0.1,Ask,20,Yellow)}
or vice versa
if (......condition sell .... = true)
{TicketSell=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,0.1,Bid,20,Ask+Stoploss*Point,Ask-Takeprofit*Point);OrderClose(TicketBuy,0.1,Bid,20,Yellow)}
Now I realised that sometimes an open position is not closed (so 2 positions short and long remain open) or for exmaple a short position is not triggered/opened

thanks, if anybody has an idea
