troublesome line of code

if(((TimeCurrent() - OrderOpenTime()) /60) > Delay_Next_Order_Minutes) MayOpenDeferOrder = false;


> should be <

LOL..yes, I did it again.. but I found the problem. I changed the i to e and it started to work. Before I had a global variable for i.

like this


if (MayOpenDeferOrder && Delay_Next_Order_Minutes !=0)
int e=-1; //Time Delay for the next Order
{
total = OrdersTotal();

for(e = total - 1; e >= 0; e--)
{
OrderSelect(e, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if(OrderSymbol() != Symbol()) continue;

if((OrderType() == OP_BUY) || (OrderType() == OP_SELL))
{
if(((TimeCurrent() - OrderOpenTime())/60) < Delay_Next_Order_Minutes) MayOpenDeferOrder = false;

}
}
}

I have no idea why that worked although I am sure you guys do. Once again,

Thanks for everything.

If either of you ever want an ea pm me and I will send you what I have.. its not too bad!

Hi, I am back to square 1 with this piece of code.


Can anyone enlighten me why this code is deleting every buystop order?

if (UseDeferOrderTimeout == 1)
{
if((TimeCurrent() - OrderOpenTime()) /60 >= StopResetMinutes)
{
if(OrderType() == OP_BUY)
OrderSelect(SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
}
if(PrintComments) Print("Stop Order Deleted");
}

Thanks Heaps

If think you're supposed to select order first, before order type:

Well originally I had this code, which looks ok to me with my limited knowlege.

This does the same thing.

Its like it is paying no attention to the condition

if( StopResetMinutes > 0)
{
total = OrdersTotal();

for(i = total - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if(OrderSymbol() != Symbol()) continue;

if((OrderType() == OP_BUY) || (OrderType() == OP_SELL))
{
if((TimeCurrent() - OrderOpenTime()) /60 > StopResetMinutes ) OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
{
if(PrintComments) Print(" Stop order reset.");

}
}
}
}

Weird!

my 2 cents: Order expiration time (for pending orders only).

I think it is a horses for courses thing.. I am just really stumped why that code deletes every order.
