Using Arrays to track info for All Open Orders

deeforex · #1 (**permalink**) 09-02-2006, 04:34 PM

Could someone show me a snippet of an array for logging the details for all open orders? I want to be able to track information on all Open orders such as OrderOpenPrice and order profit. Then I would like to use the information in the array to find the minimum and maximum values. I've tried all sorts of thing but nothing seems to work.

Thanks in Advance!!!

dee,

It's a very good and generic idea! this array could be used for a lot of purposes!

I'll give it a hand!

I'm desperate here. I've been trying all night to get my array to work but nothing happens. I've realy tried to be self-sufficient and to try to learn but I still can't get to where I need to go. If someone could please have mercy upon me and lend me some assistance....PLEASE!!!!!

I'm running a grid script but would like to track how many lots I'm running by Symbol. I want to be able to add up what my total position is by lotsize. Let's say I have 0.10, 0.10, 0.10, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, I want to be able know that I have the equivalent to 0.90 lots. I would also like to know the minimum and maximum lot sizes....0.10 and 0.30

Code:

      ArrayResize(OrderArray, i);
      ArrayInitialize(OrderArray,0);
      
      cnt = 0;
      for (i = 0; i < OrdersTotal(); i++)
      {
         if (OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)  &&  OrderSymbol() == Symbol() )
         {     
            OrderArray[cnt][PROFIT] = OrderProfit() + OrderSwap();          
            OrderArray[cnt][OPEN] = OrderOpenPrice();            
            OrderArray[cnt][LOTS] = OrderLots();

            if(OrderType() == OP_BUY)                                
            {
             ////// I can't get anything to work!!!!!!!

               BuyLots += OrderArray[cnt][LOTS];

             ////// This returns Zero when I place BuyLots in my Comments

             ////// This returns error messages
             MaxBuyLots =ArrayMaximum(OrderArray[LOTS],WHOLE_ARRAY,0);

            }

you always count the 0th index

anyway that the great idea .. i agree, coderguru

looking forward to see your great code soon

....Today we are going to study an example of 2 dimensional array and a very useful code that "Using Arrays to track info for All Open Orders" (Do you hear me deeforex ?)

I'm listening loud and clear

Thanks Codersguru!
