Can someone please help me with code to delete an open Buy/Sell Stop order that has been opened for a number of bars back.

Thanks in advance,

I tried using your code and I think I am doing something wrong because the EA is closing the open trade the next bar open with the following code.

Please advise,

Inserted Code
for(cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)
     {
      OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
      if(OrderType()<=OP_SELLSTOP &&   // check for opened position 
         OrderSymbol()==Symbol())  // check for symbol
        {
         if(OrderType()==OP_BUYSTOP)   // buystop position is opened
           {
            if(TotalOrdersMode(MagicNumber,OP_SELL) <= 0)
               {
               if(BarCount + 5 <= Bars)
                  {
