Counting buy and sell orders of History and put into comment

[Raphael Schwietering]

Hi,

i tried to count buy and sell orders of History of an magic number.

I tried this out but it seems that it is not working well.

int count_order()
  {
   int count=OrdersHistoryTotal();
   for(int i=0;i<count;i++)
     {
      if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY)==true)
        {
         if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol()&& OrderMagicNumber()==Magic_Number)
           {
            count=count+1;
            //count++;
           }
        }
     }
   return(count);
  }

in the ontick function i add this.

           Comment("Buy Trades: ",count_order());  

It looks like it is counting all of the history. With open and close.

   for(int i=0;i<total;i++)
     {
      if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY)==true)
        {
         if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol()&& OrderMagicNumber()==Magic_Number)
           {
            count++;
           }
        }
     }
   return(count);
  }

Wow! Then add an additional check for either buy or sell orders and count them. Use either Global variables or pass variables to the function.
