yes.

either select by ticket or select by magic number.
preferable, select by magic number, for many reasons.

I’m replying from mobile phone.

It should be like this;

for(i=0;i<OrderHistoryTotal()-1;i++)

{

If(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY) && OrderTicket()==ticket)

{

  // do stuff here

}

}

Or

for(i=0;i<OrderHistoryTotal()-1;i++)

{

If(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY) && OrderMagicNumber()==magic)

{

  // do stuff here

}

}
