Not Alerting if Account was changed

[bunnycat]

Hey, so I call a function on order close, but I want the alert to not be triggered if I change accounts.  So for instance, I have an order open in an account, then switch to the demo, I don't want my custom alert function to trigger.

This is the end of the main EA code:

if (Orders>OrdersTotal()) {  
      
      AlertOrder(maxlots);
      Orders=OrdersTotal();
      return;      
      
      }
      
      Orders=OrdersTotal();

 I tried putting "Orders = 0" in OnDeInit, but that didn't solve it.  AlertOrder still gets called if i change accounts.  

 Any idea how to fix it?  Thanks in advance!

Use ACCOUNT_LOGIN:

/// on init
if (login==0) login=AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LOGIN);
if (login!=AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LOGIN))
   {
   login=AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LOGIN);
   // new account
   }

Thanks so much!!! Works great!!!

Or just check for it directly: if(  UninitializeReason() == REASON_ACCOUNT )

Yes, I looked at this, but this phrase confused me: "...or reconnection to the trade server has occurred due to changes in the account settings"

hmm, yeah, even simpler, but I wonder about what Tecuciztecatl brought up.  What do you think falls into that category?

Thanks both of you!

bunnycat: What do you think falls into that category?	Confusion, false assumptions, misreading, mis-translations. Instead of trying a actual test to find out.
