I need a function writing to evaluate the last order placed after it has reached it's take profit or stop loss, writing the profit/loss to a global variable and also return a Boolean value of 0/1 depending on a profit or loss being generated. My orders always run to stop limits or take profits.
This sounds easy enough, although I have hit a stumbling block with HistorySelect and cannot go any further, the problem is as follows - I have a structure on tick that looks a little like this:
void OnTick()
{
if(PositionsTotal() >= 1)
{
}
else
{
RefreshCharts();
CalculateProfitAndLoss();
OpenOrder();
}
}
Now the problem is, that my OpenOrder() function may fail and the OnTick() function will loop again when the market refreshes and as a result, the CaculateProfitLoss() function), sees the previous unsuccessful trade and reports a zero profit/loss, which isn't correct.
The solution is probably glaringly obvious, but I cannot work it out and want to get on with the technical analysis side of things.
Let me know what you think. I would have written a full specification, but with no inputs and only two outputs, it didn't seem worth it.
Only stipulation is that code is heavily documented.
Additional note (added 06/Sep/13): I just want to ensure that people have read the above thoroughly and understand that simple code such as that listed below does not achieve the desired results as I have a lot of failed trades opening, a situation I am attempting to resolve with a new function. Example of what doesn't work:
last_deal=HistoryDealGetTicket((int)deals-1);
