This function find if the last close order is a profit or loss:

Did you read my post?

Keith Watford:

Again, your code does not necessarily find the last trade.

Orders History is not necessarily in chronological order. William has a link so maybe he will post it when he sees this.

I doubt that he will help you other than telling you the same as I have already. The only thing is that he has a list of links.

Somewhere in the documentation it does state that you should not assume that the history is in chronological order.

string LastCloseOrder(int magic)
{
   datetime lastOrderTime=0;
   
   string last;
   for(int i=(OrdersHistoryTotal()-1);i>=0;i--)
   {
      if(OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY))
      {
         if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==magic)
         {
            //RefreshRates();   //There is no need for RefreshRates here.
            //Check OrderCloseTime() and if it is later than lastOrderTime, update lastOrderTime and last else continue
            if(OrderProfit()>0){last="profit";}
            if(OrderProfit()<0){last="loss";}
            break; 
         }
      }
   }
   return(last);
}

If it can help someone, this funcion work fine:

extern int DelayMinOpenAfterLoss = 1; // Stop trading after a loss. DelayMinOpenAfterLoss in minutes

void OnTick()
{
  if(LastCloseOrder(MagicNumber)==false){}
  else{OpenNewOrder();}
}

bool LastCloseOrder(int magic)
{
   int maxDuration = 60*DelayMinOpenAfterLoss; // 60*1 = 1 minute
   for(int i=(OrdersHistoryTotal()-1);i>=0;i--)
   {
      if(OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY))
      {
         if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==magic)
         {
            datetime CloseTime = OrderCloseTime();
            int NewOpenTime = CloseTime + maxDuration;                     
            if(TimeCurrent() < NewOpenTime && OrderProfit()<0){return(false);}
            else{return(true);}             
         }
      }
   }
   return(true);
}
