Hello is there anyone that knows the code of how to sum up all your trades and return the value of all your open orders position sizes and add them together....

for example if I had two open orders of 0.5 and 0.4 .... the EA would return that I have 0.9 in total positions ...

I would like it to return 3 values... one of the sells total , one of the buys total and then the complete total both buys and sells position sizes.

Thanks so much.

hey xlr8er..... there are a couple ways.... sometimes i get fancy and sometimes not...... here is one plain jane method.....h

Inserted Code

 
 
double buys = TotalLots(OP_BUY);
double sells  = TotalLots(OP_SELL);
double total  = buys+sells;
 
double TotalLots(int type)
{
 double lots;
 int i;
 int total=OrdersTotal();
 for(i=0;i<total;i++)
 {
  OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
 
  if( OrderType()!= type)
   continue;
 
   lots = OrderLots() + lots;
 }
 return(lots);
}

to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h
