EA Managing multiple orders independently

Hi,

Im sure the answer i want must be on this forum somewhere, but i cant find it among the many very similar threads, so here goes...

I have both a buy and a sell order running at the same time, but the EA will only manage the most recently opened order. How do i, for instance, get my breakeven code to consider all open trades? No OrderModify error is logged.

Any ideas, pointers, answers, insults?

Many thanks.

hey doris...... rewrite the code to reduce the filters..... or redirect the filtered trades to separate actions..... ie, the same function() might handle all orders but handle different type orders differently......

if it is modifying only the most recent order, it must be filtering out all but the most recent...... usually done by orderopentime()......


you didn't mention the ea's name...... we might have it....... without knowing more it's hard to say more......h

Ah its obvious now thanks, the order was never actually getting 'filtered in' in the first place. I never realised you had to use orderselect on a currently open order...

for (int i = 0; i < OrdersTotal(); i++) {
OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS);
//Breakeven code here....
}
