geting price into a variable

[cryptex23]

hi all,

need a little help

the code is:

basically its a scalping EA. timeframe 5/15/30 min. the algo is like if certain conds are satisfied enter into trade and exit after a few pips say 10 pips. the EA should compare 10+entry price. i am having trouble getting the price at which i entered into the trade into a variable. any help???

 

if(some condn............................................&&.............................&&.............................&&............................ )

        {

         ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,NULL,NULL,"macd sample",16384,0,Green);  // can i replace null with something close_buy() when macd_1<signal????

         last=Ask+TakeProfit*Point;

 if(ticket>0)

           {

            if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES)) Print("BUY order opened : ",OrderOpenPrice());

           }

         else Print("Error opening BUY order : ",GetLastError()); 

         return(0); 

        }

 

 

 

 

 some thing something...............

 

//codn to close order

 

 

for(cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)

     {

      OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

      if(OrderType()<=OP_SELL &&   // check for opened position 

         OrderSymbol()==Symbol())  // check for symbol

        {

         if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)   // long position is opened

           {

            // should it be closed?

            here i want a condn that would compare the current price with the price at which the last open position was executed + fixed profit margin   // say  USD EUR bought@1.3299...i wanna compare if the current price is 1.3369....if so, the existing order should close 

         //tried using the take profit format built in orderselect. but my orders wont execute at all      



 

{

                 OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,3,Violet); // close position

                 return(0); // exit

                }
