Need Code for determining # of positions currently open

prouton · 01-17-2008, 09:09 PM

Hi. I need a code snippet for determining number of positions opened. I am trying to work a piece of code for an EA that will allow 2 different variables for sending an order. the 1rst would be based on an external interger for lot size - that would be the 1rst lot size of the order sent. the second and subsequent lots would be based on an account balance/mulitplier (exernal int) figure. I just want to control the size of the initial lot, but be able to independently set the multiplier for subsequent lots. PLEASE HELP! Thanks

something like this ?

PHP Code:


			
   BuyLots = 0; SellLots = 0;

   for(int i = OrdersTotal()-1; i >= 0; i --)

   {

      if(!OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)) continue;

      if(OrderSymbol()!= Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber()!= Magic) continue;

      if(OrderType() == OP_BUY) BuyLots += OrderLots();

      if(OrderType() == OP_SELL) SellLots += OrderLots();

   }
