Partial close for a BUY order

New comment
 

Hi,

For my EA, I try to close an order with 2 partial close but without success.

I would like to send two OP_SELLLIMIT to close a BUY order (with specifics volume and price for each sell limit order), how to proceed?

The problem is the ticket number of my BUY order, my sell limit order must have the same ticket number than my BUY order, how to send a sell limit order with the same BUY ticket number?

I don't want to use OrderClose() to close my BUY order but sell limit orders.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your answer.

I found a solution at my problem:

- I open 2 orders Buy (for example with 0.01 each lot) with 2 Take Profit differents: the first TP correspond at my first close (partial) and the second TP correspond at the second close.

 

What happens to OnTradeTransaction, when a partial order is filled ? I mean, how does it receive the information on that kind of situation ?

Thanks in advance
