How can I sell to my EA to enter Long only if the previous order was a Short, and viceversa?

 
It's possible? In other words I would like that if the last closed order was a Long, the next order can be only a Short

Thanks in advance
 
Your question in other words contradicts the topic :)

Anyway.
Lookup the account history for the latest closed order.
datetime tm, latest = 0;

int type = -1;
int i = HistoryTotal();
while (i > 0)
{
    i--;
    OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY);
    tm = OrderCloseTime();
    if (latest < tm)
    {
        latest = tm;
        type = OrderType();
    }
}

switch (type)
{
    case OP_BUY:
        OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, 1., Ask, 3, 0., 0.);
        break;

    case OP_SELL;
        OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, 1., Bid, 3, 0., 0.);
}

Sorry but I'm going crazy with it...How I have to modify this code?

I thought to solve the problem in an other way...But it doesn't work. The code I thought to insert is the seguent:


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
   //| Signal Begin(Entry)                                              |
   //+------------------------------------------------------------------+

      if (Buy1_1 > Buy1_2) Order = SIGNAL_BUY;
      if (Sell1_1 < Sell1_2) Order = SIGNAL_SELL;
      
      if ((A0 > (B0)) && (A1<B1)) {p = 1;}
     else if ((A0 > (B0)) && (A1<A0) && (A2<B2)) {p = 1;}
    else  if ((A0 > (B0)) && (A1<A0) && (A2<A1) && (A3<B3)) {p = 1;}
    else  if ((A0 > (B0)) && (A1<A0) && (A2<A1) && (A3<A2) && (A4<B4)) {p = 1;}
   else   if ((A0 > (B0)) && (A1<A0) && (A2<A1) && (A3<A2) && (A4<A3) && (A5<B5)) {p =1;}
    
   //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
   //| Signal End                                                       |
   //+------------------------------------------------------------------+

   //Buy
   if (Order == SIGNAL_BUY && (Total==0) && (p == 1) && ((EachTickMode2 && !TickCheck) || (!EachTickMode2 && (Bars != BarCount)))) ETC ETC ETC.........



where A0, A1, B0, etc..are some Moving Average. I would like that my EA opens a position only if almost one of these conditions are respected: in other words, I would like it opens a new position only when p = 1. But this code doesn't work as I want (it is YELLOW on the platform, but it doesn't consider the conditions..)..What is my error?




 
I look at this code all the day, but without any result..Can anyone help me?
 
I think I solved..after a day of work..But I hope this forum will help me in future anyway..Thanks in advance
