I know it's a little scruffy! I have been playing around with it loads - so quickly put it back to where we were talking from? I assume you meant this whole part, right?

This is the Buy section - just spits out a "OP_BUYSTOP"

Erm . . . you need to take a step back, take a deep breath and read your code carefully, function by function, line by line . . . ask yourself "what am I trying to do here ?" and then check if your code is going to do that . . . for example:

  if(OrderSelect(OrdersTotal(), SELECT_BY_TICKET,   MODE_TRADES)==true && OpenOrdersThisPair(Symbol())==1 && OrderType()==OP_BUY)

         { // Even though I am calling "OP_BUY" here, it doesn't seem to work?
         
         }

This if test executes a comment if it is true ? ? ? ? ? ignoring that for a moment . . . how is OrdersTotal() a ticket number ? SELECT_BY_TICKET it's not even a valid Position if you used SELECT_BY_POS

I don't think this code is what is giving you your problem . . . even though it has some issues.

Yea - good spot, although that doesn't make any material difference to be honest.

Hmmm....

No it doesn't . . .

I don't think you are showing the code that is creating the issue . . .

This is the Buy section - just spits out a "OP_BUYSTOP"

This . . .

if(OpenOrdersThisPair(Symbol())==0) 
   NewBuyOrder = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,LotSize,buyPrice,3,bsl,btp,NULL,MagicNumber,0,Green); // New Pending order with calibrated stops, lots and targets.

if(NewBuyOrder!=TRUE)Print("New Buy Order Last Error = ", GetLastError());  // This is giving me an "Error 0", despite the trade ACTUALLY being placed correctly...?

. . . is a {} braces issue . . .

if(OpenOrdersThisPair(Symbol())==0) 
   {
   NewBuyOrder = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,LotSize,buyPrice,3,bsl,btp,NULL,MagicNumber,0,Green); // New Pending order with calibrated stops, lots and targets.

   if(NewBuyOrder != TRUE)Print("New Buy Order Last Error = ", GetLastError());  // This is giving me an "Error 0", despite the trade ACTUALLY being placed correctly...? 
   }

sort your indenting and you will "see" these issues quickly.

Dominic Gilbert 2013.08.01 18:52 #67

Yea, again good shout, I've gone through and sorted out a few of the indenting issues... still stuck with the same issues though? What other code are you insinuating it could be? I couldn't imagine it being from any other part of my coding...?

I'm stuck - I have tried shifting and changing a lot and now It must be a case of missing something I don't know exists... has to be? OrderType()==OP_BUY does not seem to work? See notes in code above - I have checked indenting... This is epic! haha...

LOL, I don't know, I haven't seen it all . . . but something is stopping the code that does the printing from running when you have an OP_BUY

2013.08.02 10:52:47	2013.02.01 15:00  trendfishing_play_ground EURUSD,H1: NEW BUY ORDER:-  Lots to open: 0.18215 Entry Price: 1.36790 Buy Stop Loss: 1.35649 Buy Take Profit: 1.39072 Magic Number is: 1234.00000

This is printing in the Journal during my for loop, where by, in the case of a pending Buy Stop Order, if the 60 EMA is > than the OrderStopLoss, it will close the pending order, open a new one with new SL (which is behind the 60EMA), adjust the take profit to entertain the 1:2 reward, and change the lots relative to the stop in points and my risk profile (say 2%).

So when this is all being done, the "Current Lots" which is "LotSize" custom variable within OrderSend works, it is sending off a lot size that is not correct for the server to receive? "0.18215"? Could this be an issue, despite the orders actually being sent through anyway - this question is more in connection to "could this be the reason why I cannot call "OrderType==OP_BUY"?

This is a longggggg process lol...
