How to select the previous order of the same symbol/type and check profit before opening a second order

[monaphilips]

Hi guys, I am having a persistent problem, I am trying to select the previous order of the same symbol and type (buy/sell), check if the profit has gone up by certain value (pyramid) before opening a second order. The code below shows what I did, but its not working. UsePoint is either 0.01 or 0.0001.

//BUY SIGNAL
     if(AFastMA > ASlowMA && BFastMA <= BSlowMA && BuyMarketCount(Symbol(),MagicNumber) == 0)
        {
        //Close All Sell Orders
        if(SellMarketCount(Symbol(),MagicNumber) > 0)
           {
           CloseAllSellOrders(Symbol(),MagicNumber,Slippage);
           }
           
        //Open 1st Buy Order
        if(equity > umargin)
           {
           ABuyTicket = OpenBuyOrder(Symbol(),LotSize,UseSlippage,MagicNumber);
           }

        //1st Buy Order Modification
        if(ABuyTicket > 0 && (StopLoss > 0 || TakeProfit > 0))
           {
           OrderSelect(ABuyTicket,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
           double OpenPrice = OrderOpenPrice();

           //Calculate and Verify Stop Loss (and Take Profit)
           double BuyStopLoss = CalcBuyStopLoss(Symbol(),StopLoss,OpenPrice);
           if(BuyStopLoss > 0)
               BuyStopLoss = AdjustBelowStopLevel(Symbol(),BuyStopLoss,5);

           double BuyTakeProfit = CalcBuyTakeProfit(Symbol(),TakeProfit,OpenPrice);
           if(BuyTakeProfit > 0)
               BuyTakeProfit = AdjustAboveStopLevel(Symbol(),BuyTakeProfit,5);

           //Add Stop Loss (and Take Profit)
           AddStopProfit(ABuyTicket,BuyStopLoss,BuyTakeProfit);
           }
        }
//+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+         
      if(ABuyTicket > 0)        //This is where I have problems
         {
         OrderSelect(ABuyTicket,SELECT_BY_TICKET);      //And here
         OpenPrice = OrderOpenPrice();                  //And here
         }
         
         //Open 2nd Buy Order
         if(((OpenPrice + (Pyramid * UsePoint)) < Close[1]) && (AFastMA > ASlowMA) && (AQuickMA > BQuickMA)
         && equity > umargin && (BuyMarketCount(Symbol(),MagicNumber) < 2))                                     //And here
            {
            BBuyTicket = OpenBuyOrder(Symbol(),LotSize,UseSlippage,MagicNumber);

            //2nd Buy Order Modification
            if(BBuyTicket > 0 && (StopLoss > 0 || TakeProfit > 0))
               {
               OrderSelect(BBuyTicket,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
               OpenPrice = OrderOpenPrice();

               //Calculate and Verify Stop Loss (and Take Profit)
               BuyStopLoss = CalcBuyStopLoss(Symbol(),StopLoss,OpenPrice);
               if(BuyStopLoss > 0)
                  BuyStopLoss = AdjustBelowStopLevel(Symbol(),BuyStopLoss,5);

               BuyTakeProfit = CalcBuyTakeProfit(Symbol(),TakeProfit,OpenPrice);
               if(BuyTakeProfit > 0)
                  BuyTakeProfit = AdjustAboveStopLevel(Symbol(),BuyTakeProfit,5);

               //Add Stop Loss (and Take Profit)
               AddStopProfit(BBuyTicket,BuyStopLoss,BuyTakeProfit);
               }
            }

I posted the code above as shown.

I don't think a select loop is required as the EA is used across several securities with the same magic number.

My problem is I want to select the previous order (ABuyticket) of the same symbol (possibly after several hours or days after opening it), check to see if price has moved in my favour by (Pyramid * UsePoint), if it has, then I open a second order (BBuyticket) of the same type.

My problem is how to select the previous order (ABuyticket)

Pls note: ABuyticket & BBuyticket are global variables
