hi marco thank you for the reply i just want to open one order if i do that if the order reaches its stop or tp the same order will be opened again .... for example if you open an order in Onint() function the order will be opened only once regardless of it hitiing sl or tp it wont open again...i want to do the same thing in OnTick()
