Managing multiple trades.

Hey all,

I've been having this coding limitation where my EA finds the broker maxlot limitation and splits the trade accordingly if the required order size is too big.

I currently have a limit of three orders managed at a time, each order gets its own independent trade management code.

How can I create a loop of sorts so that I can theoretically manage unlimited trades? (Trailing stop, move to BE, etc.)

for(int x=0;x<=OrdersTotal();x++){
OrderSelect(x,Select_By_Pos);
insert code for managing trade;
}


that loop will let you step through all of the active orders for all pairs. I think that is what you were asking for.

Here's my existing loop:

Inserted Code
 //Check position
   bool IsTrade = False;
   for (int i = 0; i < Total; i ++) {
      OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
      if(OrderType() <= OP_SELL &&  OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber) {
         IsTrade = True;
         if(OrderType() == OP_BUY) {
            //Close
            //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
            //| Signal Begin(Exit Buy)                                           |

            //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
            if (Order == SIGNAL_CLOSEBUY && ((EachTickMode && !TickCheck) || (!EachTickMode && (Bars != BarCount)))) {
               OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Bid, Slippage, MediumSeaGreen);
               if (SignalMail) SendMail("[Signal Alert]", "[" + Symbol() + "] " + DoubleToStr(Bid, Digits) + " Close Buy");

                  if((OrderStopLoss() > (Ask + Point * TrailingStop)) || (OrderStopLoss() == 0)) {
                     OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), Ask + Point * TrailingStop, OrderTakeProfit(), 0, DarkOrange);
                     if (!EachTickMode) BarCount = Bars;
                     continue;
                  }
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }


Should I just make separate buy-side and sell-side loops for the appropriate trades?

My current setup has three sets of this 89 line chunk of code. One set for each trade.
