kolyango:

Please help a beginner. How to write such a piece of code:

Check market orders and if there are no market orders for our financial instrument, we buy it?

It's not working!!! Help... Maybe someone has a ready-made piece of code?

//---- Проверка отрытых ордеров
void CheckOpenedOrders()
 {
  my_OrderBuy=-1;
  my_OrderSell=-1;
  for (int j = 0; j < OrdersTotal(); j++)
   {
    OrderSelect(j, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
    if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol())
     {
      if (OrderType() == OP_BUY)
       {
        my_OrderBuy = OrderTicket();
       }
       else DoTrade(1);
      if (OrderType() == OP_SELL)
       {
        my_OrderSell = OrderTicket();
       }
       else DoTrade(2);
     }
   }
 }
//----

//----
void DoTrade(int workmode)
 {
  switch (workmode)
   {
    case 1:
     {
      my_OrderBuy=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lots,NormalizeDouble(Ask,Digits),SlipPage,
                  0,0,NULL,0,0,Red);
     }
    break;
    
    case 2:
     {
      my_OrderSell=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,lots,NormalizeDouble(Bid,Digits),SlipPage,
                   0,0,NULL,0,0,Blue);
     }
    break;
   }
  return;
 }
//----

Can you give it all in working form, i.e. with a start function and a description? It's not very clear. Thanks in advance!

Question. I would like to know when to open orders?

Question. When do I open orders?

We check the market orders and if there are no market buy orders for our financial instrument, we make a buy? This is the kind of area we need...

So we only open long positions?

Yes, if there are no market buy orders for our financial instrument, then we buy!

Where? I don't see it.

on the first non-buy order you will flood the account with buy orders.
