how do I Remove Closed orders from memory

Hello anyone,

I am having a problem in MT4 where I try to call OrderTicket() to determine the ticket number for any possible open orders.

the return from the OrderTicket() call is a ticket number from the last closed order. I can see on the screen that that particular

ticket number has been closed and there is a newer open order with a subsequent higher ticket number.

How do I identify the existing open order using code (mt4). My intention is to use the ticket number to close the order if market conditions dictate.

Thanks in advance.

You can NOT call OrderTicket() until you select a order with OrderSelect().
Do a OrderSelect loop and find the open orders. See Loops and Closing or Deleting Orders - MQL4 forum
