Trailing Stop - OrderTakeProfit()

New comment
 
In the OrderModify functoin for order type OP_BUY, I can increase the OrderTakeProfit() value, but If I try to lower the OrderTakeProfit() value, I get Message "unknown ticket for OrderModify function", and the reverse is true for the OrderModify function for order type OP_SELL.

The following gives the error message above.

tpAdjust= 0.9995;

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)
if(TrailingStop>0) { if(Bid-OrderOpenPrice()>Point*TrailingStop)
{
if(OrderStopLoss()<Bid-Point*TrailingStop)
{
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-Point*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit()*[b}tpAdjust[/b],0,Green); }
}

If tpAdjust=1.0005; It works just fine.

My Question is; In the OrderModify function, can the OrderTakeProfit() value be lowered in OP_BUY type orders and increased in OP)_SELL type orders?

Do You select order previously by the OrderSelect function?

Yes. Order select precedes this part of the code. As stated, the OrderModify works OK if I increase tp on OP_BUY.

Slawa, here is the code in question. When I run this code with only OrderTakeProfit(), the Trailing stop functions works OK. But the code below returns the Message unknown ticket# or invalid order for OrderModify function.
//=============== TRAILING STOP REGULAR ORDERS 
   int total=0; 
   int cnt=0;
   total = OrdersTotal();
   for(cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)
      {
      OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
      if((OrderType() <= OP_SELL) && (OrderSymbol() == Symbol()) && (OrderMagicNumber() ==MagicNumber))
         {
         if(OrderType() == OP_BUY)
            {
            if(UseTrailingStop)
               {
               if((Bid-OrderOpenPrice()) > (Point*TrailingStop))
                  {
                  if((OrderStopLoss()) < (Bid-Point*TrailingStop))
                     {
                     OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-Point*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit()*0.9995,0,GreenYellow);
                     return(0);
                     }
                  } 
               }                    
             }

            if(OrderType() == OP_SELL)
               {
               if(UseTrailingStop)
                  {
                  if(OrderOpenPrice()-Ask>Point*TrailingStop)
                     {
                     if(OrderStopLoss()>Ask+Point*TrailingStop)
                        {
                        OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+Point*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit()*1.0005,0,Red);
                        return(0);              
                        }
                     }     
                  }
                }
             }
          }


Thank you for your help.

Wackena, next time please use 'code' tags for sources. (i've inserted they into your post)

I'll check your code tomorrow.

Slawa,

Have you had a chance to test this code?

This code works correctly. I cannot reproduce problem

Slawa,
Thank you very much. I don't know why, but if I test code on FXDD Demo, it doesn't work. But it works just fine on IBFX Demo.
