Total pending orders placed by the EA

[Buba Akhrakhadze]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to count pending orders placed by an EA. There is a very odd result -134545644 or so. This function runs in OnTick() function. Can someone help to get the correct result? I've included the code below. Thanks!

int ordersTotal = OrdersTotal();                // Total Orders
int expertOrders;                               // Variable to store total EA orders
for(int i = 0; i <= ordersTotal - 1; i++){
ulong orderTicket = OrderGetTicket(i);          // Get Order Ticket
OrderSelect(orderTicket);                       // Select ticket
int orderMagic = OrderGetInteger(ORDER_MAGIC); // Get Order Ticket Number
if(orderMagic == EXPERT_MAGIC){
expertOrders++;
}
}

You should set expertOrders to zero before you count.

Else it might have anything in it stored.

for(int i = 0; i <= ordersTotal - 1; i++){

If there are n orders, their indexes are [0 … n-1].
