Hello my Friends;

I have 2 problems with this ea , If somebody could help me I would be grateful.

first one:repeat problem
This EA repeat the order and open the same position for the same pair two or three times.

also If I closed and open the metatrader , the expert repeat the orders and open the same possition again.

second one: I want the orders that it can open not exceed than 5 orders for all the pairs.
so, If somebody could modify the expert to open maximum 5 orders only and not repeat the same order for the same pair.

Thanks in advance for any help and support

One way to do it is to cycle through your open orders and count your orders. Then use the appropriate logic conditions in your order execution section to act accordingly based on the count, whether pair-specific or total number in the account across all pairs.

For example:

Inserted Code
int NPair=0, NAll=0; // reset counters to zero
 
for(int trade=OrdersTotal()-1;trade>=0;trade--)
{
 OrderSelect(trade,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
 
 if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol()) NPair++; // increment for the chart's pair's orders
 
 NAll++; // increment for any order across all pairs
}
 
if(NPair==0 && NAll<5) // only submit order if no order of this pair and 
                              //  less than 5 over all pairs 
{
 if(your execution trigger condition)
 {
  ... order execution commands
 }
}

Thanks Mr. Davel for your help but I'm very poor in MQL programming language.

So if you can make this modification on the expert for me l will be very appreciated for you.

Give it a try ... I've basically spelled out exactly what you need to do.
