Dear

 

I’m new on MT4.

I’ve been trying for many days to Close an open Order (which has been set up with a take profit limit), before the TakeProfit limit is reach.

 

My initial command is :

  

OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL ,Lots ,Bid ,3 ,0 , Bid-TakeProfit*Point, NULL ,16384,0,Red);

 

I have a Close condition for example :

 

If ( ( SignalPrevious > 0 ) && (SignalCurrent < 0) )

{

   ….

OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Ask , 3 ,Violet );

   ….

}

 

Even when I use : OrderSelect()  before OrderTicket(), OrderLots() , the close condition above is not taken into account ; the order run until the TakeProfit limit .

 

Could someone help me.

Thank in advance

Best regards

You MUST use OrderSelect() before using OrderTicket(), OrderLots()  etc . . . read the documentation . . .  "Note: The order must be previously selected by the OrderSelect() function."

What error does your OrderClose() generate ?  you are checking aren't you ?

Thank very much for your answer.

Actually, since I was not able to do it correctly, I was not sure if it was possible to Close the Order before it reach its Takeprofit limit.

I started back from the "MACD sample" and I deleted not usefull information; I've setup my one condition => it works well.

For now don't understand why it didn't work at first, since I tought I was applying the right rules, I still have to work deeper on that.

Thank again.
