I want from this strategy to check if there exists some orders and change variables if orders exists.
If there is none orders it should send 2 pending orders.
When variables have been changed program should delete orders with MagicNumber 2 and 6 and than send new order with MagicNumber == 6.
Now strategy works but it's not sending order with MagicNumber == 6 (A few last lines of code)
 

Can you discribe in words what it is you are trying to do? I am lazy when it comes to trying to understand the logic of someone else's code.

 
  1. If the command fails, print out WHY
    if (OrderSend(...) < 0) Alert("OrderSend failed ",GetLastError());
    Note you can NOT use 
    if (!OrderSend(...
    because it returns a -1 on failure not zero.
  2. Bid-30*point,4,Ask-62*point,Ask-2*point,"HA SELL
    You can not place a TP/SL closer than MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL)*Point from the open. On IBFX that's 30 points. When I tried to use pending orders the failure was also setting TP/SL too close to market even though when the order would open the stops would have been fine. This may have been related to #4 below.
  3. EA's should adjust for 5 digit brokers TP, SL, AND slippage
    //++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
double  pips2points,    // slippage  3 pips    3=points    30=points
        pips2dbl;       // Stoploss 15 pips    0.0015      0.00150
int     Digits.pips;    // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips)
int     init(){
    if (Digits == 5 || Digits == 3){    // Adjust for five (5) digit brokers.
                pips2dbl    = Point*10; pips2points = 10;   Digits.pips = 1;
    } else {    pips2dbl    = Point;    pips2points =  1;   Digits.pips = 0; }
    // OrderSend(... Slippage.Pips * pips2points, Bid - StopLossPips * pips2dbl
  4. On ECN brokers, you must open the order first and THEN set the TP/SL.
