Why don't you just write to the file after the order is opened?
if(OrdersTotal()>-1)
This means that the code will be executed when there are no orders open.
You really should tidy up your code as it is rather messy and can make it difficult to spot mistakes.
Using the styler makes it easier to read
datetime HoraActual= TimeCurrent(); long HoraOpenTrade; double MACD_1=iMACD(NULL,0,8,34,1,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,0); double MA1= iMA(NULL,0,MA_Fast,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); if( OrderSelect (0,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)) { HoraOpenTrade=OrderOpenTime(); } if(OrdersTotal()>0) { HoraOpenTrade=HoraActual; } if(HoraActual) { { int handle=FileOpen("Line_by_Line_Test.txt",FILE_TXT |FILE_WRITE|FILE_READ,";"); if(handle<0) { Alert("An error while opening the file."); } else FileSeek(handle, 0, SEEK_END); FileWrite(handle, MACD_1,OrderType(),MA1,OrderTicket()); FileClose(handle); } }
You can spot the unnecessary {}
and also see that you are missing some
else FileSeek(handle, 0, SEEK_END); FileWrite(handle, MACD_1,OrderType(),MA1,OrderTicket()); FileClose(handle);
should be
else { FileSeek(handle, 0, SEEK_END); FileWrite(handle, MACD_1,OrderType(),MA1,OrderTicket()); FileClose(handle); }
Ok
Thanks for The Braces
Also I fix the Orders Total the function write correctly but , the problem is I Just I want write one line At the moment tha the trade is open ,
the function write till the trade is closed , 3 or 4 line by seconds x 3 or minutes to many lines , I will attach a TXT file
How can I do to store only one line from the value on the TXT every time I open a Trade , I have another question , which is the different between using a newCandle Function plus Condition Entry on the EA or just OnTick and Condition Entry
ok Thanks
if(OrdersTotal()>0) { int handle=FileOpen("Line_by_Line_Test.txt",FILE_TXT |FILE_WRITE|FILE_READ,";"); if(handle<0) { Alert("An error while opening the file."); } else { FileSeek(handle, 0, SEEK_END); FileWrite(handle, MACD_1,OrderType(),MA1,OrderTicket(),HoraActual); FileClose(handle); } } }

You haven't answered my question.
Hi Keith
I tried this
I think if OrdersTotal >0 There are a position open , because I don't use pending order
But I tried this and Create the File but not write nothing
int handle=FileOpen("Line_by_Line_Test.txt",FILE_TXT |FILE_WRITE|FILE_READ,";"); if(handle<0) { Alert("An error while opening the file."); } for(int i=OrdersHistoryTotal()-1; i>=0; i--) OrderSelect (0,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES); if(OrdersTotal()>0) { FileSeek(handle, 0, SEEK_END); FileWrite(handle, MACD_1,OrderType(),MA1,OrderTicket(),HoraActual); FileClose(handle); } }
You are still not tidying up your code.
Are you saying that the trades are being placed manually or by another EA ?
for(int i=OrdersHistoryTotal()-1; i>=0; i--) OrderSelect (0,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
This does not make any sense!

Ok, Now I tried this . I leave the TXT file Attach !
The problem is that write too many line while the order is open, trade by trade .
I need write only one line per each trade at the moment that the order is open.
