OrderClose when at loss xx
n8937g:
Can anyone point me to an article or sample of code that loops through all open orders checks for loss of -10.00 Dollars or -xx.xx and the closes only that order? I searched but can't find anything ... I'm having a mental moment coding this... Just want to close the order when loss is -10.00 or more. Yes I know it's simple....
// Must loop *down* when closing orders, because it affects OrdersTotal() and the // position of each order for (int i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i--) { // Select the order if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS)) { // Only look at open orders (not strictly necessary if the profit threshold is negative, // because a pending order will have profit of zero and therefore be excluded) if (OrderType() == OP_BUY || OrderType() == OP_SELL) { // Optional check on a specific symbol and magic number if (OrderSymbol() == ?? && OrderMagicNumber() == ??) { // Check profitability of order. Can use OrderProfit() + OrderSwap() + OrderCommission() // for total net profitability if (OrderProfit() < -10) { // Order meets criteria. Try closing if (OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), OrderClosePrice(), 0)) { // Succeeded } else { int err = GetLastError(); Print(StringConcatenate("OrderClose() of ticket #" , OrderTicket() , " failed with error code #" , err)); } } } } } }
Hi JJC, Thank you for your help...exactly as needed. Sometimes it's the simple stuff LOL...
