op==OP_BUY || op == OP_SELL
The for loop does nothing as you only look at the latest order. If you don't differentiate between different orders and always subtract your 20*Point from the bis why o you even bother to select an order in the first place? OrderStopLoss() helps if you want to look at the at the level of a particular order.

What is the part of the code that just let watch for the latest order? If i have a for loop to look to every order, OrderSelect, this shouldn't look to every order? I'm not understanding that.......

Manel-
op=OrderType() must be in the for loop

If you don't use the print statement but only care about the comment there is no need for the loop.

Inserted Code
OrderSelect(0,SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES) or
OrderSelect(OrdersTotal()-1,SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)

I'm using comment to test the loop because now i will replace that with orders
