Quick bump, still looking for one to achieve this. I found a piece of the needed code on another forum i believe but i do not have a clue how to achieve this.
Right now it closes pending orders on ALL pairs also. Therefore i am also looking for a an implementation of the closing of pending orders on one pair only.. The code below does this but i cannot figure out how to implement this in the already existing code.

for(int inProfit = OrdersTotal()-1; pos >= 0 ; pos--) if ( OrderSelect(inProfit, SELECT_BY_POS) // Only my orders w/ && OrderMagicNumber() == magic.number // my magic number && OrderSymbol() == Symbol() // and symbol && OrderProfit() > 0 ){ CloseAll(); break; } ...

void CloseAll(){ for(int pos = OrdersTotal()-1; pos >= 0 ; pos--) if ( OrderSelect(pos, SELECT_BY_POS) // Only my orders w/ && OrderMagicNumber() == magic.number // my magic number && OrderSymbol() == Symbol() ){ // and symbol if (OrderType()< OP_SELL) OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), OrderClose(), Slippage.Pips*pips2points, Aqua ); else OrderDelete(OrderTicket()); } }

Attachment from above also does not seem to correctly close pending orders when a specified amount of pips has been hit...

Strange thing is that the EA from first post does work correctly once it triggers positions and when the user then restarts MT4. It will then close all pending orders.

So why does the indicator from post #1 NOT close pending orders as intended when a take profit is hit from another current active market order?
Is it something with the code or is it a flaw on new MT4 updates?

Past 6 hours are already invested in order to figure it out but with little to no succes. So little activity in here. No mq4 coders at all?

There is always a chance of someone having read / even started to code. To those concerned i thank them.What a strange question by the way...

I found an alternative but if it somehow shows flaws again i'll be sure to look into this one, thanks
