Did I make a trade on the current bar?

New comment
 

Hello folks,

Could you please give me a hint how to check if there is /was a transaction on the current bar?

I think I need to modify this:

for (int i = 0; i < Total; i ++) {

OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if(OrderType() <= OP_SELL && OrderSymbol() == Symbol()) {

IsTrade = True;

but how? :-/

thanks a lot

You can do something like this to check if you have opened an order on a current bar :

for (int i = 0; i < Total; i ++) {

OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if(OrderType() <= OP_SELL && OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && iBarShift(NULL,0,OrderOpenTime())==0) {

IsTrade = True;
 

Thank you mladen it seems promising, the thing though that it only checks for opened trades. I need it to check for trades that are closed as well.

simply put: if there was a trade on this bar or is ... TRUE

Thanks again,

rookie

Add one more loop that will look like this :

if (!IsTrade)

for (int i = 0; i < OrdersHistoryTotal(); i ++)

{

OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY);

if(OrderType() <= OP_SELL && OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && iBarShift(NULL,0,OrderCloseTime())==0)

{

IsTrade = True;

}

}

And the two combined will check opened as well the closed orders if there was an order opened (or closed) on the current bar
