What is code for closing all orders

 

Im working on a simple 2 moving average EA

where when the lines cross over it will sell off the last order and make a new buy or sell order depending on which way the lines crossed.

Im getting quite a few errors when I run it, feels like im missing alot. 

 

-orderclose error 4051

-orderclose error 3 

Here is my failing EA

Your first problem is you've missed out price.

The compiler didn't give a warning or error because the final parameter (color) doesn't have to be passed. Blue is an integer (16711680) so it took that as the slippage value, and 50 as the price.

A minor point - OrderClose returns a bool not an integer. You would normally test the result

if(!OrderClose(...)) Print("OrderClose failed....
