Hello,
I add this in my EA witch determinate if there is open positions. I would like it to count only for the pair of the current chart.
Someone could help me?
total=OrdersTotal();
if(total<1) //continue
Thank you!

if( OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == YourMagicNum && (OrderType() == OP_BUY || OrderType() == OP_SELL) )
So it would count only for the specific requirement: Pair/EA/(Long or short)

As CrazyTrader wrote, will work on test-mode (or 1-chart), but not on more than 1 chart.
It must be in a loop , to read all orders (all pairs), and select only current pair :
int Index=OrdersTotal();
while (Index>0)
{ Index=Index-1;
OrderSelect(Index, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if( OrderSymbol() == Symbol() &&
OrderMagicNumber() == YourMagicNum &&
(OrderType() == OP_BUY || OrderType() == OP_SELL) // Pending orders NOT counted
) break; // here find 1 order and exit
}
// here continue

This is a stand alone function ... I use it heavily in my codes ... it will make things easier with functions ...
int CountTrades() {
int cnt = 0;
for (int i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber() != Magic) continue;
if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == Magic)
if (OrderType() == OP_SELL || OrderType() == OP_BUY) cnt++;
}
return (cnt);
}
int CountTrades() {
int cnt = 0;
for (int i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber() != Magic) continue;
if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == Magic)
if (OrderType() == OP_SELL || OrderType() == OP_BUY) cnt++;
}
return (cnt);
}
