Open Simultaneous Orders with different Magic Number on same EA

New comment
 

I am trying to open 2 orders in my EA ( Same chart at Same time )

Reason : One order use Take Profit amount and the other one do not set Take Profit amount ( I set this to 0 ) as this order will do trailing stop later.

I used 2 different MagicNumbers to differentiate the orders. 

However, when I run EA on the strategy tester it opens only one order.

Can some one help me to fix this.

//------------   Order #1   -------------- 
//----------------------------------------

   void BuyOrder()
   {
      if (OrdersTotal() == 0)
      {
         double StopLoss = StopLoss();
         double TakeProfit = TakeProfit();       
         int Ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lots, Ask, 10, Bid-StopLoss, Bid+TakeProfit, "BUY order", MagicNumber1);
         Comment ("BUY Order #1 Placed");
      }
   }
//------------  Order #2  -------------- 
//--------------------------------------

   void SecondBuyOrder()
   {
      if (OrdersTotal() == 0)
      {
         double StopLoss = StopLoss();
         double TakeProfit =  TakeProfit();
         int Ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lots, Ask, 10, Bid-StopLoss, 0, "BUY order", MagicNumber2);
         Comment ("BUY Order #2 Placed");
      }
   }

//-------- On Tick Function -------
//---------------------------------

void OnTick()
  {
    if (OrdersTotal() == 0)
    {  
      if ( Signal() == "LONG") 
      {
         BuyOrder();
         SecondBuyOrder();
      }
      else if (Signal() == "SHORT")
      {
         SellOrder();       
         SecondSellOrder();
      }
    }

Pretty obvious, you cannot have this line in both BuyOrder() and SecondBuyOrder():

OrdersTotal() == 0

Since after BuyOrder() this check will return 1, so your SecondBuyOrder() will never get to open any new order.

Perhaps you can change the one in SecondBuyOrder() to:

OrdersTotal() == 1
