Hi,

What do you mean ? The pendings are not deleted I suppose ?

OrderDelete() is a function which returns a bool, if false that means you have an error, print the error code to know what happened. Please read the documentation.

Your orderdelete() function is only called if BuyMode is true and BuyMode will only be true on a Wednesday.

Code is only executed on the first tick of the bar. If you miss that incoming tick, no execution.

PS. it is not a good idea to name functions "orderdelete", especially when posting your code as it is easily misread and confused with the standard function "OrderDelete". Better to use something like "DeletePending"

It's kind to thank us, but it seems you didn't take any of our advices into account ?

I'm new to mql4 but i think this will work for you.

in the ordersend use TimeCurrent()+ExpirTime

Keith Watford 2016.04.13 10:38 #6

Maybe the RSI was not above 90 and not less than 10

William Roeder 2016.04.13 11:09 #7

```
if (Volume[0]>1) 
```
Bars is unreliable (a refresh/reconnect can change number of bars on chart) volume is unreliable (miss ticks) Always use time. New candle - MQL4 forum
```
         OrderDelete( OrderTicket());
```
Check your return codes and find out why. What are Function return values ? How do I use them ? - MQL4 forum and Common Errors in MQL4 Programs and How to Avoid Them - MQL4 Articles
Your orderdelete (bad name) does not check if the currently selected order is still pending. It will attempt to delete open orders more than two days old.
