CloseOrder error 4108 unknown ticket

New comment

Hi all

I am not sure but seems like the code is trying to OrderSelect an already closed order.
I am struggling with creating codes I started this simplest code from here so I can understand whats going on a little better.

Getting 4108 unknown ticket errors

See code below

Replace

for (i = OrdersTotal()-1; i >= 0; i--)

to

for (i = OrdersTotal()-1; i >= 0; i--) {

and count brackets

HO HO HO, thanks

Surprised it let me close the trades at all really.
I can't believe I missed this. NOOB Alert !

AND it only took me 2 weeks to figure this out - OUCH
OK I'll put my dunce cap on for a couple week now and go stand in the corner

Oh well, back to documents and back to the drawing board

Thanks again 
    for(pos = OrdersTotal()-1; pos >= 0 ; pos--) if (
        OrderSelect(pos, SELECT_BY_POS)                 // Only my orders w/
    &&  OrderMagicNumber()  == magic.number             // my magic number
    &&  OrderSymbol()       == Symbol()                 // and my pair.
