Variable Loop Syntax

New comment
 
Hi I wonder if somebody could help as I am looking for ways to reduce the length of my code.

I have got 3 variables tick1,tick2 & tick3

if (OrderComment() == "Euro_Level_3" ) 
{   OrderModify (tick1,0,0,OrderOpenPrice()+(PipsToProtect*Point),0,Blue);
    OrderModify (tick2,0,0,OrderOpenPrice()+(PipsToProtect*Point),0,Blue);
    OrderModify (tick3,0,0,OrderOpenPrice()+(PipsToProtect*Point),0,Blue);
}



Instead of having the 3 OrderModify lines is it possible to put the 3 lines into a for loop, changing tick1,2&3 with a loop. If this is possible can somebody please show me the syntax.
Many Thanks

Put the tickets in an array and step through the array in the loop

Here is what I would do, not really what is described above


string comment = "Euro_Level_3";

for(i = OrdersTotal()-1; i>=0; i--){
   OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
   if(OrderComment() == comment ){
      if(OrderType() == OP_BUY ){
          OrderModify (OrderTicket(), ...........);
      }
      if(OrderType() == OP_SELL ){
          OrderModify (OrderTicket(), ...........);
      }
   }
}



 
Hi Phy

Thanks for your continued help, it is most appreciated.
I understand how your example works, but is it possible to put the variables tick1, tick2 & tick3 into an array, to allow me to put the tick variable into a loop to increment it.

Many Thanks again

double myArray[3];
myArray[0] = tick1;
myArray[1] = tick2;
myArray[2] = tick3;
 
double myArray[3];
myArray[0] = tick1;
myArray[1] = tick2;
myArray[2] = tick3;


Hi,

Would it not be:

int myArray[3];

as the first parameter in OrderModify(...) requires an integer representing the order ticket number?
