EA hedge - open new position for a lot of symbols - multicurrency.

[Qkey]

Hi, I write hedge EA using multicurrency.

I need to SendOrder new positions in both directions if some position for some currency was closed.

For one currency I used:

int Orders;

if(Orders > OrdersTotal()) {
  SendOrder(pair,OP_BUY,LotSize);
  SendOrder(pair,OP_SELL,LotSize);
}

Orders=OrdersTotal();

For multicurrency I have a lot of orders for different symbols so checking OrderTotal() dosn't work.

In my new EA I have an array of watched symbols and I would like to hedge for this currencies:

bool    onlyWatchedSymbols = true;

int     total_pairs=SymbolsTotal(onlyWatchedSymbols);
string  pairs[];

ArrayResize(pairs,total_pairs);

for(int i = 0; i < total_pairs; i++)
{
        pairs[i]=SymbolName(i, onlyWatchedSymbols);
}

How can I easily check if for some symbol position was closed?

Thanks in advance!

I suggest you to use the event handler OnTradeTransaction().

Study the example there carefully!

Thanks for reply.

I think I could use two dimension array:

string pair[][2]

pair[0][0] = "EURUSD"   // for symbols
pair[0][1] = 4          // for amount of positions

 The problem is, that I need to mix string and int in array or put and get values in some way.

Any ideas?
