can some one help me the EA keeps telling me maximum allowe opened order reached

void OnTick() {
   if(isNewCandle()) {
      int signal = getDataFromBuffers();
      if(limitOpenOrders() <= limitOrders) {
         if(signal == OP_BUY) {
            openBuy();
            useTrailingStop();
         }
         if(signal == OP_SELL) {
            openSell();
            useTrailingStop();
         } else {
            Print("Maximum Allowed Opened Orders Limit is Reached !!!");
         }
      }
   }
}

      if(limitOpenOrders() <= limitOrders)

Assuming that your function returns correct values and your variable has the correct value......

it should not be <= because if orders are = limit, one more will exceed the limit.

Also note that some brokers will not have a value set for the limit, so you need to check for this.

if(limitOrders==0 || limitOpenOrders() < limitOrders)
