Hi,

I would like to add a piece of code to my Ea that could close a trade as soon as another trade is opened, no matter long or short.
Could someone help me in this?

Thank you
Mattia

Here's one I whipped up real quick.

As soon as it detects another order, it will close the last.

Inserted Code
void OnTick()
  {
//---
        
     int ticket_select = OrderSelect(0, SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
    
      int count = OrdersTotal();
         if (count == 2) {
        
            OrderClose(ticket_select, 1.0, Bid, 10);
            Alert("Closed ticket", ticket);          
        
  }

I am sorry that I don't have time to offer suggestions, but your code will not work
OrderSelect returns a bool and you cannot use a bool value as an order ticket
