Questions from Beginners MQL5 MT5 MetaTrader 5 - page 593

Hello.

Can you please tell me how to calculate the number of losing positions closed in a row.

When trading binary options in MT4 at Grand K broker.

The normal function doesn't count, this one does:

int CountLoss()
  {
   int count=0;
   for(int trade=OrdersHistoryTotal()-1;trade>=0; trade--)
     {
      OrderSelect(trade,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY);
      if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==Magic)
        {
         if(OrderProfit()<0) count++;
         else  break;
        }
     }
   return(count);
  }

On the commentary, it doesn't work either.

Comments are strange in history snapshot here

How do I check for a pending order?

In the open position option

we look at

if(ePositionType == POSITION_TYPE_BUY)

if(ePositionType == POSITION_TYPE_SELL)

but what about the pending

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Количество открытых отложенных ордеров
int CountTrades()
{
 int count = 0;
 for(int i = OrdersTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)
 {
  if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
  {
   if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==Magic)
   {
    if(OrderType()==OP_BUYSTOP || OrderType()==OP_SELLSTOP)
    count++;
   }
  }
 }
 return(count);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Returns number of pending orders

Positions and orders should not be confused in mql5.

Alexey Viktorov:

In mql5 you should not confuse positions and orders.

I have found two solutions to the problem

1.

I assigned a comment to the orders in the request, oRequest.comment = "LimitSell"; oRequest.comment = "LimitBuy";

in a global

string comment ="";

I came up with this variant

if(OrderGetString(ORDER_COMMENT)=="LimitSell")

if(OrderGetString(ORDER_COMMENT)=="LimitBuy")

I don't know if this is right, but it seems to work

2. You can do it without comments

if(OrderGetInteger(ORDER_TYPE)==ORDER_TYPE_BUY_LIMIT) ....

This is exactly what I was talking about.

The default EA comes with ...\MQL5\Experts\Examples\MACD\MACD Sample.mq5. Look at the function implementation ****Modified.

[Vyacheslav Kornev]

can you advise me on where to find such an advisor?

Grid, open positions only one way, Martin, close the previous position by tp or sl with opening the next one (increased if closed by sl)
