                              {

                                    {
                                    
                                          //Send confimation to email/phone
                                          
                                          Print("Modified Sell :", myPeriod(Period()), " opened : ", OrderOpenPrice(), " New SL : ", Bid + (stopLoss*Point), " | New TP : ",Bid -(takeProfit*Point),
						 " | Ticket # : ", ticketNum); 
                                          return(0);     
                                    }
                                    else
                                    { 
                                          Print("Error OrderModify(Sell) -- Tick # : ", ticketNum, " | Error -- " ,GetLastError());
                                          return(0);
                                    } 
    
                                    return(0);
                              }

Does OrderModify changes the ticket number?
What I am trying to do is to use the codes above as an trailing stop, but for some reason it only works once, can someone help?

Try the following code:

Print("Before OrderModify");
OrderModify(...
Print("After OrderModify");

You can use the log file to see what happens. It's easy to see then that the ticket number stays the same after a modify.

I think in some cases the Ticket number IS MODIFIED !!!!

How can I obtain the new ticket nuber immediately after modification please ?
