Get number of total order of certain type

[[Deleted]]

Hello Folks,

I'm trying to put some code together which will give me the total of open positions only of a certain type.

Example Buy-Position - I need something like this:

extern int MaximumAllowedBuyOrders = 1;
bool PlaceOrderOK = false;

if (TotalOrdersOfTypeBuy < MaximumAllowedBuyOrders)
   {
   PlaceOrderOK = true;
   }
   

Somehow I don't know how to approach this simple task. Could somebody please give me some assistance here?

Thank you.

Hey gjol.

Thanks again for your reply.

I try my best, and I have kind of an idea of what you're referring to, but I'm just too new to this programming stuff... Could you please give me a few more details?

How do you count the amount of a certain type of orders?
