Do you want to close only one trade? Or all trades?

The code looks like it's within an EA. You need to have the EA sort through all open trades to try and determine which trade it wants to manage.

PHP Code
 
int Total = OrdersTotal();
 
   for (int i = 0; i < Total; i ++) {
      OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
      if(OrderType() <= OP_SELL &&  OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber) {
 
// your closing code here
 
}

Hi Ronald Raygun,
Thanks.. the coding works.. but i think there is a problem with my EA..
What I want to do is.

1. Open trade when trend change.
2. From here I take a value from previous bar [2], and bar [1].Compare the changes.
3. If the trend changed take a trade at current bar[0].

4. Wait for a next bar open, and again compare the trend.
5. If there is a trend change, and I have and opened trade from previous trend change. I want to close that trade.
6. Then I open another trade based on the recent trend change.

My EA will look at every thick. I think this is where the problem is.
I saw you had written a reply to some one regarding disabling every thick..
I still studying it but not quite sure I understand it..

Thanks..
