Yes it is.

Then check that it actually contains the correct ticket #

I think the problem is in the incorrect ticket. Here's the log from the journal (partially).

for the order no. 1 and 2, I don't know how to get the order ticket because it is hit the stoploss. But for order no 3 to 5 (and the rest of the open order) the ticket for open order and the ticket for the close order is different by 1 number higher. My code for checking the open order is like here.

bool CheckIfOpenOrdersByMagicNumber(int magicNumber){

   for(int i = OrdersTotal()-1; i >= 0; i--){

      if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS)==true){

         if(OrderMagicNumber() == magicNumber){

            return true;

         }

      }

   }

   return false;

}

my entire code looks like this:

void OnTick()

  {

   if(!CheckIfOpenOrdersByMagicNumber(magicNumber1))
{
//buy and sell order
}

   else
     if(CheckIfOpenOrdersByMagicNumber(magicNumber1))
{
//previous code for closing the open order
}

I don't know if the CheckIfOpenOrdersByMagicNumber() function is the problem or my entire code structure that make it like that.

 
Keith Watford:

Please do not give wrong information.
I have already explained why NOT to use ask.

Sorry for the wrong information, I was given wrong information.

However, using the Bid prices actually fixed my problem as well so thanks!!

Hi Aidan, could you elaborate your code?

if(PSARValue > Bid)
     {
     bool res = OrderClose(orderId,OrderLots(),Bid,0);
     if(!res)
        Print("Error in OrderModify. Error code=",GetLastError());
     else
        Print("Order closed successfully for ticket: ", OrderTicket());
     }

This is my code do you use Bid when you selling like Keith suggest?
