Hi friends,
I'm writing an expert advisor,
Can anyone help me what is the easiest way to prevent OnTick Function from placing orders repeatedly.
I have some ideas in my mind but I think there would be easier ways to stop expert advisor from placing an order repeatedly in OnTick function and instead place only 1 order.
thanking in advance,
Hi,
at live order checking needs to set true or false is there opened order or not, and if not the EA can open a new. I use this logic in my EAs.
for (counter1=OrdersTotal()-1; counter1>=0; counter1--) { if (OrderSelect(counter1,SELECT_BY_POS)==true) { if (OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==magic_number) { ... ... ... liveorder=true; break; } else { liveorder=false; } . .. ... //and here comes the open trade session, we open a sell if (liveorder==false) { ...... while(true) { last_order_ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,lots,Bid,20,Ask+order_sl,Ask-order_tp,"comment if you want",magic_number,0,clrWhite); Error_handling(GetLastError()); if (last_order_ticket > 0) { break; } }

Wow , what a great answer !
I exactly use the same logic in my own code , the only difference is that I also change the Symbol string into integer with my own logic and use it in the magic number.
By the way, thank you very much for your kind guidance.
