OrderTotal() stuck at 1 yet no open or prending orders since last closed
Before posting please read some of the other threads . . . then you would have seen numerous requests like this one:
Please use this to post code . . . it makes it easier to read.
one trade is placed and "total" which is OrdersTotal() remains at 1 even though the trade has exited - I have restarted MT4 and it is still 1.
Closing the terminal does not close trades. so restarting is irrelevant
It's one because you have an open order. open terminal (control-t) trade tab.

I have read the numerous posts you are referring to - they seem to be stuck at 0 not 1. I have read them thoroughly and could not rectify my probelm
I looked at the Trade Window and the 1st trade seems to already closed out - Right click on the order and the option to close out the trade is greyed out

It's not closed . . . . it's not even Open yet . . . its a OP_BUYSTOP or Buy Stop . . . it's a Pending order . . . you don't close an order that isn't open yet . . . if you want to get rid of it you delete it . . . OrderDelete()
Okay thanks for that.
