Counting pending orders with Ctrade problem
Jack Buda :
Hi all
I have a problem when counting pending orders using C trade. It opens too many pending orders instead of one. If you know what the problem is, please help.
The CTrade class cannot read pending orders. You are confusing something.
Pending orders are counted using the COrderInfo trading class.

If I use the function below, too many pending orders open still. How do i open just one pending order?
int OrdersPending() { int Pending=0; for(int b=OrdersTotal()-1;b>=0;b--) { string OrderSymbol=OrderGetString(ORDER_SYMBOL); int Magic=(int)OrderGetInteger(ORDER_MAGIC); bool Select=OrderSelect(OrderGetTicket(b)); if(OrderSymbol==Symbol()&&Magic==MagicNumber) { ENUM_ORDER_TYPE Type=(ENUM_ORDER_TYPE)OrderGetInteger(ORDER_TYPE); if(Type==ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP||Type==ORDER_TYPE_SELL_STOP) Pending++; } } return(Pending); }
Or you can generally use this function:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Is pending orders exists | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ bool IsPendingOrdersExists(void) { for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1; i>=0; i--) // returns the number of current orders if(m_order.SelectByIndex(i)) // selects the pending order by index for further access to its properties if(m_order.Symbol()==m_symbol.Name() && m_order.Magic()==InpMagic) return(true); //--- return(false); }
if it returns 'true', it means there are pending orders in the market.

I tried both count pending functions but it still opens too many pending orders. Here is my full code, maybe their might be a problem in my code.

Where is the OnInit () function ???

I usually do not use it. Should I insert the count pending function in there?

You MUST wash your hands before eating. The advisor MUST have an OnInit () function. These are two laws.

Note taken. So for the count pending orders, it still opens too many orders.

In OnInit (), you need to initialize the 'm_symbol' and 'm_trade' objects. See examples in CodeBase.
