how to delete a pending orders

Hi,

Happy new Year everyone.

Can someone give me a snippet of code, that will delete a un-used buystop/sellstop order?

For example, the ea I use, places a buystop order and a sellstop order, 10 pips away from the current price. If one of the orders(buy or sell stop) is filled, I want the other un-used order to be deleted.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Code:

   for(int c=0;c<OrdersTotal();c++) {
      OrderSelect(c,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
      if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==Magic) {
        if(OrderType()==Op_BuyStop) int b=OrderTicket();
        if(OrderType()==Op_SellStop) int s=OrderTicket(); } }
   
OrderSelect(b,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
      if(OrderType()==Op_Buy) {OrderDelete(s);s=0;}
OrderSelect(s,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
      if(OrderType()==Op_Sell) {OrderDelete(b);b=0;}

integers b & s should be assigned ticket numbers when placing the buy and sell stop orders, and need code to reassign ticket number values when re-initializing the ea. When the buy or sell order is closed, one should probably use OrderCloseTime()>0 to reset b or s to zero, similar to the following:

Code:

OrderSelect(b,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
      if(OrderCloseTime()>0) {b=0;}
OrderSelect(s,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
      if(OrderCloseTime()>0) {s=0;}

hope this helps somewhat
