Count the number of open orders in a OrderSelect loop, filter by Magic Number and Symbol.

As it was said… search through all opened orders, and if None of the opened orders are opened by this EA ( MagicNumber) and from this chart ( Symbol) , and you can add timeframe, or whatever other filters you like , then open your orders
