Count Existing position!!

[auto9817]

Hello

I have a following code in MQL Language. This code (function) checks if there is a existing order

This code will return with true if there is existing order and false if there is no existing orders.

// ================================================== ===
bool ExistPosition() {
bool ExistingOrder = FALSE;
for (int i = 0; i < OrdersTotal(); i++) {
if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)) {
if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber) {
if (OrderType() == OP_BUY || OrderType() == OP_SELL) {
ExistingOrder = TRUE;
break;
}
}
}
}
return (ExistingOrder);
}

// ================================================== ===



What would be best way to check existing orders in NT?

This is how I got so far in NT script


public ExistPosition(){
int TotalTrades = Performance.AllTrades.Count;
bool ExistingOrder = false;
for ( int i =0 ; i <= TotalTrades; i++){
if(Performance.AllTrades("MSFT", EntryReference, i)) {
ExistingOrder = true;
}else{ExistingOrder = false;}

}


return(ExistingOrder);

}

All I wanted to do is just checking existing order so My Automated strategy does not open two orders at the same time. That is all.

Is there any way of doing this nicely in NT?

Thansk all

One way to do it is to you surround your order entry code with the following you will not have more than one order

if(Position.MarketPosition== MarketPosition.Flat)
{

}

I believe you can also limit the number of entries per direction when you insert the strategy to keep more than one executing.

hope this helps.
