OrderClose not working
Dear qjol,
I dont quite understand what you mean, Could you please explain. Thank you
in ur code
if (bar3>1) OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(),Ask,3,Red);
u using OrderTicket() & OrderLots() & 4 these functions u must use OrderSelect()
As you can see in the documentation:
Note
The pool parameter is ignored if the order is selected by the ticket number. The ticket number is a unique order identifier.
To find out from what list the order has been selected, its close time must be analyzed. If the order close time equals to 0, the order is open or pending and taken from the terminal open positions list.
One can distinguish an open position from a pending order by the order type. If the order close time does not equal to 0, the order is a closed order or a deleted pending order and was selected from the terminal history. They also differ from each other by their order types.
The OrderSelect() function copies order data into program environment and all further calls of OrderClosePrice(), OrderCloseTime(), OrderComment(), OrderCommission(), OrderExpiration(), OrderLots(), OrderMagicNumber(), OrderOpenPrice(), OrderOpenTime(), OrderPrint(), OrderProfit(), OrderStopLoss(), OrderSwap(), OrderSymbol(), OrderTakeProfit(), OrderTicket(), OrderType() functions return the data, copied earlier. It means that in some cases the order details (open price, SL/TP levels or expiration date) may change and the data become non-actual. It is strongly recommended to call the OrderSelect() function before request the order data.
So if i use the actual ticket number and Lots then no need to use OrderSelect, right? I only open one order at a time, may I knwo how to get the ticket number of the open order?
Thanks again

The OrderSend() funtion returns the Ticket number if succesful. I suggest you read the Book section on this site from begining to end to better understand how to use MQL, as well as consult the reference documentation for every function you use so as to better understand what parameters to use and what the return values are.
Dear All,
I have inserted OrderSelect(), but the OrderClose still not functioning, please help .Thanks a lot

ticket is a local variable, so next tick, it will not have the same value
Put outside of the functions to make it Globalscope
double bar1; double bar2; double bar3; int ticket;
