int return_price(int ttype)
  { //function that returns price
   int price=0;

   for(int cnt=0;cnt<OrdersTotal();cnt++)
     {
      bool result=OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);

      if(OrderType()==ttype && OrderMagicNumber()!=666 && OrderMagicNumber()!=667) price=OrderOpenPrice();
     }

   return(price);
  }

Im trying to return the openorder price of the selected trade in my pool (only 1) yet I always get 1. What am I doing wrong?

 

maybe typecast error

double return_price(int ttype)
  { //function that returns price
   double price=0;

worked!! thanks so much lol makes sense

 

if the specific order is found break from loop 

for(int cnt=0;cnt<OrdersTotal();cnt++)
     {
      if(!OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)) continue;

      if(OrderType()==ttype && OrderMagicNumber()!=666 && OrderMagicNumber()!=667) {price=OrderOpenPrice(); break;}
     }

  1.       bool result=OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
    You don't know whether you selected a trade or not. Check your return codes for errors, and report them including GLE/LE. Don't look at it unless you have an error. Don't just silence the compiler, it is trying to help you. Always use strict. Fixing the warnings will save you hours of debugging.

    Only those functions that return a value (e.g. iClose, MarketInfo, etc.) must you call ResetLastError before in order to check after. 

  2.       if(OrderType()==ttype && OrderMagicNumber()!=666 && OrderMagicNumber()!=667) price=OrderOpenPrice();
    This selects all magic numbers except 666 and 667. If it is zero it is not 666 and not 667.
    Using OrdersTotal directly and/or no Magic number filtering on your OrderSelect loop means your code is incompatible with every EA (including itself on other charts and manual trading.)

  3. int return_price(int ttype)
    Prices are not integers.
