Look for last closed trade

New comment
 

Hello,


I´m trying to add a routine to an EA to avoid open consecutive orders of the same type.

The idea here is, if price is above such a MA it BUY, but when that initial order is closed I need to avoid that the EA opens a new Buy order even if the price still above the MA, because the next order must be a SELL order when the price is below the MA.

I need something to identify the kind (Buy/sell) of the last closed order.

I tried with the follow piece of code, but it isn´t generating a signal .

Can I have some suggestions? Thanks.

int Last_Buy, Last_Sell;


if (modo_scalper==1)
{
for(int z=OrdersHistoryTotal()-1;z>=0;z--)
{
if(OrderSelect(z,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY)==true && OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==magico)
{
if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)
{
Last_Buy=1;
}


if (OrderType()==OP_SELL)
{
Last_Sell=1;
}

}

}

}

    For large amounts of code, attach it.
  2. avoid that the EA opens a new Buy order even if the price still above the MA
    So test for it 
    bool isWaiting;
int init(){ isWaiting = false; }
int start(){
   bool wasWaiting = isWaiting; 
   isWaiting = false; // Assume not OK to open
   :                  // Test 
   // Ok to open
   isWaiting = Bid < ma; // Time to open?
   if(!isWaiting && wasWaiting){ // Open Buy!
  3. Your loop keeps going after you've found the highest position order and will set both values (needs a break).
  4. Don't use int's when you mean bool's
