Need help

[Sergey Korsunov]

The problem is
I practically don't know the language, I need to automate the opening of orders for a few vp, I put out this simple code (file attached), but it turned out to be clumsy,
According to the plan should open 6 vp, but opens only 3 vp, but sometimes opens all 6, but then again no longer works as it should (I think this may be due to the number of digits after the decimal point, as in the block, where there is no JPY, all works fine.
Please help solve this problem.
If i'm not hard i need help to write it so i can switch trades to Buy or Sell only.

According to the plan should open 6 vp, but opens only 3 vp, but sometimes opens all 6, but then again stops working as it should (I think this may be due to the number of decimal places in the price, as in a block with no JPY, all works fine.

And also, if it's not difficult prompt how to prescribe, that it was possible to switch the opening of trades only Buy or Sell.

There are a number of reasons that prevent you from opening an order. Suppose, on the first tick, 3 orders are opened

On the next tick, at the very beginning of the program, if(OrdersTotal() >= OrderCount) return; this will be returned since the number of orders is greater than OrderCount, which = 1.

The rest of the program will be ignored.

Do you mean that extra orders are opened?

[Sergey Korsunov]

Fast235 #:

do you mean that extra orders are opened?

No, on the contrary, you need 6 different currency pairs and only 3 are opened

And by the way, where there is no yen bullion, all 6 pairs open, both main and crosses, where there is a yen bullion, only 3 open

The easiest way is to put Sleep() after each order opening, the terminal does not have time to update the quantity (for performance reasons apparently)

I practically do not understand the language (
I wrote my code purely on the examples on the web
Help me put Sleep() in my code

Help insert Sleep() in my code

After OrderSend and put Sleep(50);

if it doesn't help 50 increase to 100-200

Try it this way - Shorter and more precise. If you figure it out on your own, you'll be a coryphaeus of programming. Put your cursor on the word and press F1
