You can delete your pending orders using OrderDelete function.

before you delete any of them you need to select them using a loop.

For MT4

1. Select the order.
2. See if it is still pending.
3. Compare the OrderOpenTime to TimeCurrent and delete if older than your 20 minutes.
   

Adjust for MT5.

void chekingOrders ()  

{

for(int buy=OrdersTotal()-1;buy>=0;buy++)

{

if(OrderSelect(buy,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))

if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol())

if(OrderMagicNumber()==magic)

if(TimeCurrent()<OrderOpenTime()+910)

;

}

}

so it's workin i puted 910 because i run my ea on 15min timeframe

i want to correct the return fonction because i got "empty controlled statement found" error

// zikokiko , Please use " code icon " to show your code 

void chekingOrders ()  
{
for(int buy=OrdersTotal()-1;buy>=0;buy++)
{
if(OrderSelect(buy,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol())
if(OrderMagicNumber()==magic)
if(TimeCurrent()<OrderOpenTime()+910)
;
}
}

for(int buy=OrdersTotal()-1;buy>=0;buy++)  // This loop seems wrong logic .
