Tango_X:
Hello! What does the number of activations mean when you buy the program in the marketplace ? Can I use this program on different computers and different accounts at the same time? The point is that we want to buy one program for two people and use each of them separately

it is better to order from freelancers - the type of programme and it will be yours with open source code.

Please tell me how to check if an order of a certain type (in this case ORDER_TYPE_BUY_LIMIT ) or magic number is there and if it is closed, the EA will continue its work... I would be very grateful...

Example of counting four types of pending orders in Min Max for N Bars Martingale 2 code

Good afternoon.

I want to close a position after Time has elapsed, I do this, but it doesn't work

if((TimeCurrent()-m_position.Time())>Time*3600)  {CloseOrders=true; ClosePositions(POSITION_TYPE_BUY); break;} //  если прошло много времени, закрываем !!!

Who is'ClosePositions'?

And how do you select the position?

//| Close positions       по типу                                    |

void ClosePositions(const ENUM_POSITION_TYPE pos_type)
  {

         if(m_position.Symbol()==m_symbol.Name() && m_position.Magic()==InpMagic)
            if(m_position.PositionType()==pos_type) // gets the position type
               m_trade.PositionClose(m_position.Ticket()); // close a position by the specified symbol
  }

Roman Kutemov:

Who is'Time'? Set a breakpoint before issuing an order. Check if you hit a breakpoint at all?

(And yes: don't write multiple statements in one line)

Time - in external settings time in hours. For example, 7 hours after opening a position, if it has not closed at stop or take, I want to close it.

*** Placea breakpoint before you issue an order. Do you ever check if you hit a breakpoint?

(And yes: do not write multiple operators in one line)

[Roman Kutemov]

Vladimir Karputov:

Yes, you didn't.

Corrected. Thank you.
