Not requesting to develop EA; Just Help with Coding few lines?

Hi All

Happy New Year

I know that traders and programmer are busy and it is too much to ask for full EA so I studied the basics of programming. I just need help in two or three lines of coding.

I was able to place pending order on chart according to my requirement but I need help if that pending order is activated; my EA place another pending order.

How can I track that pending order is activated so that I can place another pending order?


I appreciate all those programmers who are helping traders here.

Again Happy New Year

When your opened trades count is > 0 ... and pendings count == 0, it's time for the EA to set a new pending.

In addition, when a pending order is activated its type (returned by OrderType()) changes from >1 (above 1) to <2 (below two, or with other words 0 or 1).

Thanks

you can add a mark, eg. "buy 1st entry" in trade comment with in the order. Then, you check open order if a trade with this mark is there. Then, you know where is your order.
