Hello all,

I want to close all my orders at the same time but i coudn't.
I tried this code but it didn't work :

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

total = OrdersTotal();
for(i=0;i < total;i++)
{
if(OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS)==true)
{
OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,80,CLR_NO NE);
OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,80,CLR_NO NE);
}
}

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Can anybody help me ?
I would be very grateful if you can help me

Mehdi,
Put this code (procedure) outside start() section and when you if the condition is met to close all trades, just call the procedure like that:


int start()
{ // your code here .....
If (your condition here) ShutDownAllTrades();
}

void ShutDownAllTrades
{ int Retry;
While (OrdersTotal()>0)
{ for (int cnt=OrdersTotal()-1;cnt>=0;cnt--)
{ OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderType()==OP_BUY)
{ Retry=0; while (Retry<5 && !IsTradeAllowed()) { Retry++; Sleep(1000); }
RefreshRates();
OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,Slippage, Yellow);
Sleep(1000);
}
else if (OrderType()==OP_SELL)
{ Retry=0; while (Retry<5 && !IsTradeAllowed()) { Retry++; Sleep(1000); }
RefreshRates();
OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,Slippage, Yellow);
Sleep(1000);
}
else
{ Retry=0; while (Retry<5 && !IsTradeAllowed()) { Retry++; Sleep(1000); }
OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
Sleep(1000);
}
}
}
}

Dear Yannis,

Thanks for your help.
I wish you the best.

Dear Yannis,

I added your procedure between " int deinit() { } " (out of start) as you said but there is a problem via compiling after void ShutDownAllTrades { : '{' comma or semicolon expected .

I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks a lot

Oops sorry.
What's missing is the () after void ShutDownAllTrades()

Be careful also for the variable named 'Slippage' in the orderclose function.
You might need to replace that with the one you are using when you place your orders.

Yannis

It's working very well !
Thanks again

I am using MTF CCI indicator ftom Multi Time Frame indicators thread, it is a yellow step line, see image attached.

When the line is above 100 level (overbought)- the price will go down and when its below -100 (oversold) - the price will go up.

The only problem with it that it doesnt always refresh, i have to do it manually by right clicking on the chart and selecting 'Refresh'.

A question to programmers: Is there any function in MQ4 to do that kind of refresh automatically on every tick?

Would appreciate an advice.

Try this:

void ObjectsRedraw()
Redraws all objects on the chart

Sample
ObjectsRedraw();

You may need to use ObjectCreate first.

Thanks for replying.

As far as I know ObjectsRedraw() refreshes objects that just been 'created' and 'set'.

I need to refresh an indicator which is not on the Object list, so ObjectsRedraw() doesnt work.

Or may be you know how to refer to an existing indicator?

Hi all,
I wrote an expert but it doesn't work very well i would be very grateful if anybody can help me .

I checked MACD in H4 in EUR/GBP and the condition is when the MODE_MAIN of MACD is > 0 BUY EUR and SELL GBP and when is < 0 first of all close previous position and open SELL EUR and BUY GBP.

It usually open just one of them .

Thanks
