How to code to get MIN and MAX openprice of all "Open Trade"

Hi guys, I would like ask if anyone know how to code the function to get the MIN and MAX open price of all ongoing running trade of Symbol() , assume I got no magic number.

E.g I got 4 trades of EUR USD running

1.3040 , 1.3077, 1.3129, 1.3158

I want to able get the return result of getting the MIN open price and MAX open price

e.g

double minPrice = getMinOpenPrice();
double maxPrice = getMaxOpenPrice();

which the getMinOpenPrice() and getMaxOpenPrice() is a function thats return the min / max of Symbol() only applicable to all "Open & Running Trade" & not include closed order that touch tp / sl

Run a loop checking all opened trades for the specific chart. For each one, compare the open price with the previous one. At the end, you will have the higher and lower.

if(OrderOpenPrice() > max) max = OrderOpenPrice();
if(OrderOpenPrice() < min) min = OrderOpenPrice();

Hi Thanks for responding.

But i got a question which is, how do I get into a loop which only select

the trade that is currently "RUNNING" and not close/hit tp/hit sl and belong to the Symbol()

I don't use any magic number when I open trade.

Thanks

I found out a long time ago it is quicker to read the documentation than to ask someone else.


Use MODE_TRADES (default in OrderSelect()).

Below an example of a loop for your min/max :

Inserted Code
double min=0,max=0;
for(int trade = OrdersTotal()-1; trade >= 0; trade--) {  
  if(!OrderSelect(trade,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)) continue;
  if(OrderSymbol() != Symbol()) continue;
  
  if(OrderOpenPrice() > max) max = OrderOpenPrice();
  if(OrderOpenPrice() < min || min == 0) min = OrderOpenPrice();
}
