Hi guys!

I have another problem…

I want make this:

if(the number of orders in EURGBP < 2){do it…}

I know the function OrdersTotal(), but I don’t want to know the total, I want to know the total in EURGBP! So, how can I do it?

Thanks again!!

You can do it like this

   int totalForCurrentSymbol = 0;
   for (int i = OrdersTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)
   {
      if (!OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)) continue;
      if (OrderSymbol()      != "EURGBP")            continue;
         totalForCurrentSymbol++;
   }

And after that the totalForSymbol will contain the exact number of orders currently opened for EURGBP. Then it is just a matter of comparison

Didn't work! :/

Now, the EA is opening SEVERAL orders, inifinite orders...

Mladen!?!? Where are you!? :(((

If you check the following :

if (totalForCurrentSymbol==0) ... // then you can open new order for EURGBP in that example

it will work and there is no way that then you can open infinite orders for EURGBP. The code I posted counts open orders for the symbol you need. I am assuming that you can use the values stored in the totalForCurrent symbol in the rest of your code (of which I have no idea what are you doing with it)

Simple experts How can my robot Any questions from newcomers

Thank you very much again! :)

But, I'm not getting the wished result...

But, the EA continues opening orders and more orders and more orders...

Look the code after your tip:

Move that code from init() to start() (and execute it on each and every tick before checking the

PS: the way you coded it, that EA can work ONLY on "BTCEUR" (on other symbols it will not work correctly)

Jose Henrique 2016.08.15 13:28 #10

I don’t know, guy… I’m not felling safe with this code…

The function not should return the number of open orders in EURGBP or ABCXYZ!?!? So why you wrote:

if(totalForCurrentSymbol==0){OrderSend…}

After, exist other line that use the function OrdersTotal()

for (int i = 0; i < OrdersTotal(); i++){papapa…)

This function should be substituied by totalForCurrentSymbol.

I will put my money in this EA…

The worse is that I don’t understand of programming and MQL4 and I don’t speak English very well, so, I can’t express correctly and I can’t understand your ideia….

Trying to wite a Build an Array serie OrdersTotal doesn't appear to
