Modifying Orders Question

[Deleted] 2014.09.10 15:04

I'm trying to modify buy and sell orders, but having a problem. When I'm trying to modify a buy, my code is modifying the buy, not only by the code that I have for modifying buys, but also by the code that I have for modifying a sell. Which causes my TP to decrease rather than to increase. Not sure of what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

 Modify = OrderModify(Ticket,OrderOpenPrice(),0,NewProfit,0);
 Tt = GetLastError();
 if (Tt > 0)

Do not look at last error until you get an error (Modify == false)

```
NewProfit = (Ask-0.00005);
```
What is MarketInfo(market_pair, MODE_STOPLEVEL)? You can't move SL/TP closer to market than that. 5 Points?

My problem is within the remodification of the orders. It seems as though OrderType is ignored. The code was not to remodify on a negative profit either. See my log results below:
