Determine Order Status

New comment
 
Hi
I wonder if somebody can help me, I am trying to determine the status of the open orders on my account in for me to know which orders are currently active and which orders need deleting.
I cannot use OrderProfit as some of my orders are filled with 0 profit, I tried using Order type but it is just returning 0 for a filled market order and 2 for an either filled or pending limit order, so that does not work either.
Can anybody please tell me the best way to determine order status in order for me to select then delete pending orders.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Did you see "MQL4: OrderType" ?
 
Hi Rosh

Thanks for your response, yes I have tried using OrderType, but it does not seem to work, it's just returning 0 for a filled market order and 2 for an either filled or pending limit order.
Thanks

int OrderType( )
Returns order operation type for the currently selected order. It can be any of the following values:
OP_BUY - buying position,
OP_SELL - selling position,
OP_BUYLIMIT - buy limit pending position,
OP_BUYSTOP - buy stop pending position,
OP_SELLLIMIT - sell limit pending position,
OP_SELLSTOP - sell stop pending position.
Note: order must be selected by OrderSelect() function.

Did You select some order before use OrderType?
 
Hi Slawa

Order 1 whose ticket is assigned to tick1 is a market order is always assigned 0 which I take is correct.
Order 2 whose ticket is assigned to tick2 is a limit order ans is assigned 2, when it is filled the value remains at 2 which cannot be right. Please see my code below.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

OrderSelect(tick1,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES);
  order_type=OrderType();
  Print ("Order Type 1 :",order_type);
 
   OrderSelect(tick2,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES);
  order_type=OrderType();
  Print ("Order Type 2 :",order_type); 
  
     OrderSelect(tick3,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES);
  order_type=OrderType();
  Print ("Order Type 3 :",order_type);
 
Why without a loop ?!!!
   for (int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0;i--)
      {
      if (OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
         {
         Print ("Order ticket #",OrderTicket()," is "OrderType()," type");
         }
      }

Hi Rosh

Thanks for your continued help.
The reason my code is not in a loop is because, within the loop I need to refer to the order ticket numbers using there varables tick1,tick2,tick3 etc and as far as I know there is no way to increment a varable from with a loop. If this was possible it would allow me to cut the size of my code in half. Am I right in believing it is not possible?
Thanks again
