Close pending orders when new candle started

[Garble_buble]

Hi All,

i created a simple script, which cover closing unrealized pending orders when new candle started, but it doesn´t work. Can you please help me with this? I need to solve this problem.

Thanks for any help :-)

int Objem1 = Volume[0];

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Close pending orders                             |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
 for(p=0; p <= OrdersTotal(); p++)     
if(OrderSelect(p, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)==true && Objem1<1 && OrderMagicNumber()==Magic_number)
{if(OrderType()==OP_BUYSTOP)
           {

            Delete = OrderDelete(OrderTicket(),0);}}

Objem1<1 will never be true.

Don't use volume to detect a new bar, use time.

     static datetime bar_time=Time[0];
     datetime now_time=Time[0];
     if(now_time!=bar_time)
        {
        bar_time=now_time;
        //A new bar has opened
        //Place code here to be executed only when a new bar opens
        //
        }

.

Hi,

thank you for your help. I am using "volume", because "time" work only when is price moving at specific time and that is poblem, because price can be static, when i need to close pending orders.

Time[0] changes when a new bar opens, Volume[0] can never be <1

2. Bars is unreliable (a refresh/reconnect can change number of bars on chart) volume is unreliable (miss ticks) Always use time. New candle - MQL4 forum
   
3. In the presence of multiple orders (one EA multiple charts, multiple EA's, manual trading)
   • You must count down when closing/deleting/modifying in a position loop. Get in the habit of always counting down. Loops and Closing or Deleting Orders - MQL4 forum
   • and check OrderSelect. What are Function return values ? How do I use them ? - MQL4 forum and Common Errors in MQL4 Programs and How to Avoid Them - MQL4 Articles
   • You must RefreshRates after sleep and between multiple server calls if you want to use the Predefined Variables (Bid/Ask) or OrderClosePrice() instead.

Time[0] changes when a new bar opens, Volume[0] can never be <1

But this function is working correctly, when i want open order. The difference is, that i want to delete pending orders.

If it works your way, then do it your way and you don't need any help.

I don't believe you. I can see no way that Volume[0]<1 can be true.

You're doing this in a script?

GumRai is correct - a new bar does not form unless a tick has come in. Therefore volume should never be less than 1.
