int Limit=0; ////// on the global space



///// then i have the function below  my Tick function
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|                                                                  |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int CountSell()

  {
    Limit=0;
   for(int i=0; i<=OrdersTotal(); i++)
     {
      if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
         if(OrderMagicNumber()==Magic_Number_1 &&  OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderType()==OP_SELL)
            Limit +=1;
     }

   return Limit;
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

this also reduce back when some orders are closed

You have totally ignored what I have said!

Keith Watford:

I think that you are going about it the wrong way.

You should have a globalscope or static variable to count the trades and set it to 0 initially (or the value of  OrdersTotal()).

Whenever a new trade is opened increase the counter by 1.

If   OrdersTotal()==0 reset it to 0.

How does your code even remotely resemble the above?

No problem, thanks for your time.

He told you exactly what to do need to do, for your stated want.

Adebayo Samson Adewuyi: if  i have 10 opened orders counter should read 10 and if 5 were closed counter should remain at 10 and if 2 more trades were opened counter should be at 12 (despite total orders are 7) and reset back to 0 (zero) when i have no opened orders

to my level of understanding i did that, i declared Limit=0 as a global variable then i did a function "CountSell" to count all opened Sell Orders only.
