I have deleted your duplicate topic.

if( OrdersTotal() <=4)

{

//If there are 5 or more orders currently open this block of code will not be executed
//So if new orders are opened and there are already 5 orders currently open, the new orders are not being opened in this block of code. 

} 

If you want to limit it to no more than 4 currently open orders you should use

if( OrdersTotal() <4)
