Add " Max trade of the day"

New comment
 

I have an simple EA that keep on placing trades until margin out, and that is no problem with that fro competition purpose.

The thing is how can i add a line of "maximum Trades of the day" ??

This line u see below "extern double MaxOpenOrders = 3;" is just simply mean everytime it places 3 orders same time.Once it TP or SL, it will place another 3 orders immediately.

What i think is how to limit the TOTAL ORDERS of the day? Example says total of the day is 30 orders, so this EA only can do 10X of placeing 3 orders

Can anyone pls add some codes in?

Many thanks

  1. That won't work. OP wants to prevent opening more orders after the current ones close.
    Once it TP or SL, it will place another 3 orders immediately
  2. In addition, the select loop should be filtering by magic number and pair so it is compatable with other chart/pairs.
    int todayOrdersTotal() {
    datetime    BOD     = Time[0] - Time[0] % 86400;    // Beginning of today
                // Use  = TimeCurrent() - 86400 for last 24 hours
    int         count   = 0;
    for(int pos=OrdersHistoryTotal()-1; pos >= 0; pos--) if (
        OrderSelect(pos, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY)   // Only orders w/
    &&  OrderMagicNumber()  == magic.number             // my magic number
    &&  OrderSymbol()       == Symbol()                 // and my pair,
    &&  OrderCloseTime()    > BOD                       // closed today.
    &&  OrderType()         <= OP_SELL){// Avoid cr/bal https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/126192
        count++;
    }
    return (count);
}
