put an alert("bticket is: ", bticket);

c what happens

PLEASE USE OrderClose() not OrderDelete() for open orders. Orderdelete() is for pending orders. Thanks.

It is very bad practice to hard code explicit values which are defined using #define

For example you are comparing OrderType() to 1. You should compare it to OP_BUY, OP_BUYLIMIT or something like that. It makes the code much more readable and you are less likely to make mistakes.
