Need help for only 1 buy + 1 sell at a given time

Hi guys,

all the time I want to open only 1 buy position and 1 sell position at a givin´ time, Metatrader opens more then 1 position in each direction.
Who can help?

Your codes don't look right...

You should only use OrderType() after you've used OrderSelect(), that way your EA will know which order its looking at.

You can try this (see attached) ...

If you are looking to hedge, with only one buy and one sell open at the same time, it should work.

Or, if not, and you only want either one buy or one sell open at the same time (but not both), it should be easy enough to modify. Just change references to b_cnt==0 and s_cnt==0 to t_cnt==0, and it should work that way as well.

Actually, you can probably eliminate the OrderType() part of it too, and just say:

Hi ecTrade,

that´s exactly what I wanted. Many thanks for your help and Merry X-Mas!

You're welcome!

I need help another time. I want to run this EA on two different times a day but it opens only one buy and one sell position. I need Magic Number code that the EA open e.g. one buy and one sell position at 8 am and if I put the EA with another setting on another chart the EA opens one buy and one sell position at 12 am.

Who can help?
