Learning MQL, feeling difficulty

New comment
 

Hi,

I am new to mql programming. I have a good knowledge in .Net programming language (c#, VB.NET). I read the books of MQL and now trying to implement my knowledge. I am trying to show the result of how may pips involved as a total in trades. Here is my code:

int ReturnTotalLots()
{
int totallots;
int totalnumberlots;
for (int i=0;i<OrdersTotal();i++)
{
if (OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==true)
{
totallots=OrderLots();
if (totallots>0)
{
totalnumberlots=totalnumberlots+totallots;
}
}
}
return (totalnumberlots);

}


It is always returning 0. Tried many hours now. Is it a bug in MQL?


Thanks.

 

Are u looking for total pips or total lots? When you paste your codes use the SRC button above.

 

Replace

int totallots;
int totalnumberlots;

to

double totallots;
double totalnumberlots;
 
Great. Thanks ubzen.
 
  2. OrderLots is a double. Sum doubles and the return type is also.
  3. Always use magic numbers. You want THIS EA's total on this chart, not all open orders. Always initialize your variables.
    double GetTotalLots(){
    double openLots = 0.0;
    for(pos = OrdersTotal()-1; pos >= 0 ; pos--) if (
        OrderSelect(pos, SELECT_BY_POS)                 // Only my orders w/
    &&  OrderMagicNumber()  == magic.number             // my magic number
    &&  OrderSymbol()       == Symbol()                 // and my pair.
    ){
       openLots += OrderLots();
    }
    return (openLots);
}
