OrderClose not working - page 3

Thanks thrdel, I will look into your coding. You are really so kind. Thanks again

Dear thedel,

Thank you

Yes, i am using Print(). I need to know how to use OrderSelect() if there are more open trades. For a single trade, if I use SELECT_BY_POS, what shall be the value for index (OrderSelect (int index, in select, int pool=MODE_TRADES)? Is it 1?

or what value?

Here is an example of how to use Order Select function :

In this example, the CountTrades function checks all open and pending orders, discards the ones that don't have a matching symbol and magic number and counts only the ones that we need.

In this example it will select from most recent one to the first one.

If you need more help with it let me know.

/*

myTrades variable.

Comment("You have "+myTrades+" open trades.");
   
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int CountTrades()
{
int count=0;// we start counting from zero
int trade;  // define a variable that will hold the total number of trades that are open
// Get the number of trades from OrdersTotal() and asign that value to trade variable.
for(trade=OrdersTotal()-1;trade>=0;trade--)
   {
   OrderSelect(trade,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES); // Select orders by position (OP_BUY and OP_SELL) - orders can be selected by position or by ticket
                                                 // select from Open or pending orders = MODE_TRADES or select from History = MODE_HISTORY
   if(OrderSymbol()!=Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber() != MagicNumber)// if the order has a different symbol or magic number, skip to next order
   continue;
   if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber)// if symbol is right and magic number is right, that is my order ,then
   if(OrderType()==OP_SELL                                         // if it's an open sell do this.....
   || OrderType()==OP_BUY)                                         // if it's an open buy do this......      
   count++;                                                        // in this example increase the counter since I'm counting all my orders
   }
return(count);                                                     // When finished counting, return the result
}

if you try to help then explain it correctly

you said

total=OrdersTotal();

bad example...... you gave

if the guy doesn't want use OrderSelect() then he has to stop programming EA's

big nonsens what you tell here, https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/149958/page2#915413

i commented your example code and told you what you had to do

there are plenty examples i have given how to do ...

google for it if you want find them

if(Time[0]==previousTime) return(0);         //EA will not go past this point unless it is a new bar
   previousTime=Time[0];                        // If it was a new bar , it's old now but continue to the end
