Order Closeby function

Hi All,

I am trying to code the closeby function in my EA.

Can anyone tell me how I get the order ticket numbers? Below is the example in the help file.

if I use the order select, select by ticket, wont that just give me the last ticket number?

And how do I know this order ID number before it is opened?

if it is simple to code an example, could someone just knock one out and explain how it works?

//--------------------------------------------------------------------

ticket - Unique number of the order ticket. opposite - Unique number of the opposite order ticket. Color - Color of the closing arrow on the chart. If the parameter is missing or has CLR_NONE value closing arrow will not be drawn on the chart.

Sample:
if(iRSI(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0)>75)
{
OrderCloseBy(order_id,opposite_id);
return(0);
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks A

When u open the trades, u can add a comment. When u then do an orderselect, do this:

int selectOrder(string cO)
{
bool exist = false;
for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0;i--)
{
OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS);
if(OrderComment() == cO)
{
exist = true;
return(i);
}
}
if(!exist)
return(-1);
}

Use this function by calling it like this:
OrderSelect(selectOrder(commentOrderLong), SELECT_BY_POS)
order_id = OrderTicket();
OrderSelect(selectOrder(commentOrderShort), SELECT_BY_POS)
opposite_id = OrderTicket();
OrderCloseBy(order_id,opposite_id);

Now all you need is decide what you want to name the comments commentOrderLong and commentOrderShort.

Hope this is what u were looking for.

That is great.. I understand perfectly

thanks so much

Glad I could help
