Doubt

[[Deleted]]

How can we put this into a code statement:

if the previous BUY/SELL order was inside last 5bars, then do not open BUY/SELL respectively.

I've been searching and trying various logic but it's not giving any desired results.

Thank you.

Regards,

Rohit.

shure, go trough you orderhistory, select the last one. and

if OrderOpenTime()>Time[5] //do nothing

else //Open order

[qjol]

for(int i = 0; i < OrdersTotal(); i++)
   {
   OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
   if(OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == xxxyyy)
      {
      if(OrderOpenTime() > iTime(NULL,0,5))
         {
         return(0);
         }
      }
   }

didn't checked

Or simply remember the Bar in an variable or file or what you prefer when you was opening the last order and dont make new order before 5 Bars was passing.

if (lastbar>Bars-5)

{

lastbar=Bars;

OrderSend(....)

}

int hstTotal=OrdersHistoryTotal();

 for(int a=0;a<hstTotal;a++)
   {
   if(OrderSelect(a,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY) && OrderOpenTime()<Time[10] && OrderType()==OP_BUY)
   {
   return(0);
   }
   }
   Ordersend() command


and for sell
for(int j=0;j<hstTotal;j++)
   {
   if(OrderSelect(j,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY) && OrderOpenTime()<Time[10] && OrderType()==OP_SELL)
   {
return(0);
   }
Ordersend() command

I tried the above code. But it doesn't work as expected. It opened sell orders within 10 bars.

I also tried using iTime(NULL,0,10) in place of Time[10], but still same result.

What could be wrong in this?

P.S: I don't know y the text is appearing in such bars. SRC button is not selecte.

Thank you. I tried doing that earlier. But maybe something wasn't correct. I'll give it a try once again.

That selects orders opened earlier then Time[10]. You want to return if there are any orders later.

I also tried using iTime(NULL,0,10) in place of Time[10], but still same result.

Of course, since those are always identical.

Once you reach max bars in chart, Bars will not change.

I placed the EA on demo account and found out that it checks every order in the account history, that leads to delay and on a couple of occasions the order wasn't place at all.

How to select just the previous order and one before that(only 2 orders)?

Using the following code:

int buybar,sellbar;

 if(FMA>SMA && PFMA<PSMA && buycond==true)
   {
   OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,3,Gold);
   for(int a=0;a<hstTotal;a++)
   {
   if(OrderSelect(a,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY) && buybar>iTime(NULL,0,0) && sellbar>iTime(NULL,0,0))
   {
   Comment("here");
   break;
   }
   else Alert("error",GetLastError());
   OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,3,0,0,"",_MagicNumber,0,Red); // open new BUY Order 
   buybar=iTime(NULL,0,0);
   buycond=false;
   sellcond=true;
   first=true;
   if(OrderTicket()>0) 
           {
            if(OrderSelect(OrderTicket(),SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES)) Print("BUY order opened : ",OrderOpenPrice());
            Alert("BUY");
           }
         else Print("Error opening BUY order : ",GetLastError()); 
         
   }
   
   
//--------------------------------------------SELL Open---------------------------------------------------------------   
   if(FMA<SMA && PFMA>PSMA && sellcond==true)
   {
   OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,3,Snow);
   for(int j=0;j<hstTotal;j++)
   {
   if(OrderSelect(j,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY) && sellbar>iTime(NULL,0,0) && buybar>iTime(NULL,0,0))
   {
   Comment("sell here");
  // return(0);
  break;
   }
   else Alert("error",GetLastError());
   }
   OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,0.1,Bid,3,0,0,"",_MagicNumber,0,Blue);    //open new Sell Order
   sellbar=iTime(NULL,0,0);
   buycond=true;
   sellcond=false;
   first=true;
   if(OrderTicket()>0)
           {
            if(OrderSelect(OrderTicket(),SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES)) Print("SELL order opened : ",OrderOpenPrice());
            Alert("SELL");
           }
         else Print("Error opening SELL order : ",GetLastError()); 
     
  }//sell if close bracket
