Check out the new article: MQL5 Trading Toolkit (Part 3): Developing a Pending Orders Management EX5 Library.
Learn how to develop and implement a comprehensive pending orders EX5 library in your MQL5 code or projects. This article will show you how to create an extensive pending orders management EX5 library and guide you through importing and implementing it by building a trading panel or graphical user interface (GUI). The expert advisor orders panel will allow users to open, monitor, and delete pending orders associated with a specified magic number directly from the graphical interface on the chart window.
To get started, open your MetaEditor IDE, and launch the MQL Wizard using the 'New' menu item button. You'll need to create a new Library source code file, which we will name PendingOrdersManager.mq5. This file will contain the core functions for managing pending orders. Save it in the Libraries\Toolkit folder we set up in the first article. This is the same directory where we previously saved the Positions Manager EX5 library, keeping our project organized and consistent.
If you need a refresher on how to create an EX5 library in MQL5, I recommend going back to the first article. There, we covered the step-by-step process of setting up your folder structure and creating libraries in detail. Following that approach will not only help streamline development but also make it easier to maintain and reuse your libraries in future MQL5 projects.
