            if ((ordr_symbol==Symbol())) {

               if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)  {ticket =OrderClose(OrderTicket(),lots_1,Bid,150,Red);}
                                         }

My EA opens a series of orders.  When collective profits hit a certain target, it does this routine.

However, it leaves one order still open.   In the middle of the pack no less.

I put the slipage to an unearthly high number hoping that would help... didn't .

See anything wrong?    Anything else I can do to fore the closing of all orders? 

 

Don't count up when closing orders.

If Sleep() Refreshrates() to get up to date Bid and Ask

for(cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)
change to
for(cnt=total-1;cnt>=0;cnt--)  
 
  1. You must RefreshRates after Sleep and between multiple server calls (OrderClose).
  2. In the presence of multiple orders (one EA multiple charts, multiple EA's, manual trading) you must count down when closing/deleting/modifying in a position loop. Get in the habit of always counting down. Loops and Closing or Deleting Orders - MQL4 forum
  3. You don't have to test the OrderType, just use OrderClosePrice instead of Bid/Ask.
