OrderDelete() deleting incorrect order

New comment
 

Hi guys,

My OrderDelete() is attempting to delete incorrect orders, thus giving me errors. Below is the code:

void DeleteOrders()
 {
  for(int g=OrdersTotal()-1; g>=0; g--) 
   {
    if(!OrderSelect(g,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)) continue;  
     if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && (OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber || OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber1 || OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber2)                
       && (OrderType()==OP_BUYSTOP || OrderType()==OP_SELLSTOP))  //Also tried (OrderType()>2)  
    RefreshRates();
     if(!OrderDelete(OrderTicket()))
      Print("Deleting stop orders"," Ordertype:",OrderType());      
   }
 }

 It is trying to delete buy and sell orders. ie. OrderType()<3; however it needs to delete OrderType()>2. 

Please help! 

 

Your code tries to delete every order

RefreshRates is the only code dependant on the if conditions

Put in some curly braces

void DeleteOrders()
  {
   for(int g=OrdersTotal()-1; g>=0; g--)
     {
      if(!OrderSelect(g,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)) continue;
      if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() &&(OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber || OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber1 || OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber2)
         && (OrderType()==OP_BUYSTOP || OrderType()==OP_SELLSTOP)) //Also tried (OrderType()>2)
        {
         RefreshRates();
         if(!OrderDelete(OrderTicket()))
            Print("Deleting stop orders"," Ordertype:",OrderType());
        }
     }
  }

 Why do you need the RefreshRates anyway?

Thank you GumRai. RefreshRates() removed. It doesn't seem to be giving the error as many times now, but it still pops up. This is what I get printed. It deletes the order and then gives errors:

 It had not entered the buy stop, why is it trying to delete a sell and returning OrderType():1? Also, may I ask for an understanding as to why the curly brackets addition?

Because in your original code, there were no conditions for the order delete. It would try to delete every order.

The log items that you have posted do not come from the code that you have posted.

Please post the actual code that you have used.

Aha! Rookie error indeed. Thank you! That is referring to another OrderDelete() in my code. Managed to fix the error. If you have a moment, is it possible to help me on this thread: https://forum.mql4.com/67798
