I need some help in writing the code to open multiple orders in an ea I wrote. It should be able to open another buy, or sell order whenever conditions in the ea are met. Also, how do I place it in order to continue searching through conditions. Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to write a subroutine that accepts 2 parameters(Percent, Lots) and return the number of lots to close based on a percentage of the current trades lots size (CloseLots).

I have back tested many EA's over the years and one problem i find in alot of EA's is that they can "over trade". I say this because i have often back tested an EA and found that it would make 1,2 or even 3 profitable trades in a row and then create a losing trade or maybe even two. For this reason...
I'm somewhat new to plotting graphs, but have learned how to use the buffer and setting the parameters to draw a line, so please keep your answers on the elementary side.

I have an EA that closes off half the lot of a trade once a target profit is reached. I would like the EA to remember which order it has already closed so it doesn't close it again.
