Here's the idea:

Quote:

int CountLongs()
{
int count=0;
int trade;
int trades=OrdersTotal();
for(trade=0;trade<trades;trade++) {
OrderSelect(trade,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
if(OrderSymbol()!=Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber() != MagicNumber) continue;
if(OrderType()==OP_BUY) count++;
} //---- for
return(count);
}

int CountShorts()
{
int count=0;
int trade;
int trades=OrdersTotal();
for(trade=0;trade<trades;trade++) {
OrderSelect(trade,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
if(OrderSymbol()!=Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber() != MagicNumber) continue;
if(OrderType()==OP_SELL) count++;
} //---- for
return(count);
}

And in the start() function:

Quote:

if(CountLongs() == 0 && CountShorts() == 0) {

Your entry condition here
}

Hope that helps.
