What is "x" ?
I think it should be Sx ? (not sure now how in the heck works with x either... but it works ... engineering paradox ... )
Note: without RefreshRates is not working at all... cross my heart ...
Appreciated for all your help !
Curiously, I wrote these few lines in the hope of finding out whether OrderClosePrice() "refreshes" the price it returns...
I run this EA, then randomly open any buy or sell order... and I realized that they get closed regardless... no error at all... which seemed to imply that OrderClose() function ignores the close price supplied... you guys know why?
Update: (1) Right, different behavior for different broker, and (2) Found a broker that does not ignore the close price, and it is apparent that OrderClosePrice() DOES return the latest price - no need to call RefreshRates().
so that code doesn't require RefreshRates ? how come ? in the code i provided is not working without it... what is the actual difference ?
appreciated Seng !

Getting mysterious... LOL
Here's a small portion of the log from my test yesterday (notice that the price value (last column) does change, despite not calling RefreshRates() and not exiting from the infinite loop (which should be sufficient proof that OrderSelect()+OrderClosePrice() will return updated prices)):
