last order profit - page 2

[Tjipke de Vries]

what is  OTCurrentTick ???

 

what is   MaxOrders ???

Do you know that you won't close any trade as long OTCurrentTick is not equal to MaxOrders...  although  LastOrderProfit might be >= 0

Hi again deVries,

In code below you can see what OTCurrentTick is:

int start()
 
   {//0 
                                         
    OTLastTick = OTCurrentTick;                      
    OTCurrentTick = OrdersTotal(); 
                     
    if(OTCurrentTick == 0 && OTLastTick > 0)
      {      
      BuyTrigger = Ask + OpenDistance * pips2dbl;
      SellTrigger = Bid - OpenDistance * pips2dbl;
      }                                  
    if(OTLastTick >= 2                                                
      && OTCurrentTick < OTLastTick
      && OTCurrentTick > 0)
      {
       CloseAllOnSL(); return;            
      }                                                                  
    if(OTCurrentTick > 0 && OTCurrentTick < MaxOrders)OpenOppositeOrder();
                                  
    if(OTCurrentTick == 0)
      {
       BuyAllowed = true;  
       SellAllowed = true; 

 

 In other parts of the code I have other function call to close all the orders that are less than the MaxOrders.

One of the reasons that I need to identify the profit of the last order that is open have to try to close the last order that equals the MaxOrders setting as soon it reaches profit 0, I mean as soon the profit of the order pays the commission.

Help Me  Warning, return value of 'OrderSelect' should be checked

"I want check OrderLot and Lot Buy/Sell"

void CheckLOT()

{

               OrderSelect(OrdersTotal()-1,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);

                  int Type=OrderType();

                  double Lot=OrderLots();

               if(OrdersTotal()>0)

                  { 

                     for(int i=0; i < OrdersTotal(); i++)

                        {

                     if(Type==OP_BUY) {Lot1 = Lot*i; }       

                     if(Type==OP_SELL){Lot2 = Lot*i; } 

                     }

                     

                     _Lots = Lot1+Lot2;

                     

                  }

               if(OrdersTotal()==0)

                  {

                      Lot1 = 0;

                      Lot2 = 0;

                     _Lots = 0;

                  } 

}

EDIT I have removed the copy and pasted post that the poster again did not bother to post the code correctly. Keith.

2.                OrderSelect(OrdersTotal()-1,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);

   Check your return codes for errors, report them and you would know why. Don't just silence the compiler, it is trying to help you.

   Only those functions that return a value (e.g. iClose, MarketInfo, etc.) must you call ResetLastError before in order to check after.

3. Using OrdersTotal directly and/or no Magic number filtering on your OrderSelect loop means your code is incompatible with every EA (including itself on other charts and manual trading.)

2. It also has a race condition. Orders on other charts could close/open while this chart open/closes between ticks.
