PositionsTotal() returns 0 while an pending stop order is placed...

[Filip]

Dear Forum,

Im traying to handle my placed orders, as I found in many threads usually it is handled by the following loop :

for(int i=0;i<OrdersTotal();i++)

      if((order_ticket=OrderGetTicket(i))>0)

...

The Problem is, that my OrdersTotal() call allways returns zero.

Does anyone know why this happens?

Thanks for help,

Filip
