I'm pretty sure this replicates the above next trade order logic (after a signal)? So missing something pretty obvious?

This is the code from my original mql file. I'll try and figure it out with with the blocks but I'm a bit confused now!

bool CheckDistance(int type){
GetLastOpenPrice();

bool result = false;
int dis =0;

if(type==0){
if(LastOpenPrice_Buy>0){
dis = (int)(( LastOpenPrice_Buy - Ask)/myPoint) ;
if(dis > Pip_Distance_Buy) return true;
else return false;
}
else return true;
}
else if(type==1){
if(LastOpenPrice_Sell>0){
dis = (int)((Bid - LastOpenPrice_Sell)/myPoint) ;
if(dis > Pip_Distance_Sell) return true;
else return false;
}
else return true;
}

return false;
}

void GetLastOpenPrice( )
{
LastOpenPrice_Sell=0;
LastOpenPrice_Buy =0;
int total = OrdersTotal();
if(total==0) return;

int opentime_buy=0,opentime_sell=0;
double openprice_buy=0.0,openprice_sell=0;
for(int i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
if(OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES) == false) continue;
if(OrderMagicNumber() != MagicNumber || OrderSymbol() != Symbol() ) continue;
if(OrderType() == 0){
if(OrderOpenTime()>opentime_buy){
opentime_buy = (int)OrderOpenTime();
openprice_buy=OrderOpenPrice();
}
}
else if(OrderType() == 1){
if(OrderOpenTime()>opentime_sell){
opentime_sell = (int)OrderOpenTime();
openprice_sell=OrderOpenPrice();
}
}
}
LastOpenPrice_Buy = openprice_buy;
LastOpenPrice_Sell = openprice_sell;

So it will only send an order if the price is n pips above or greater than the last open sell order.

Hi thanks, just want to add in extra trades above the previous open sell level. I've tried what you suggested but still adding trades beneath the set "gap"?

OK 1 step forward 2 back...

This should work but it's still not spacing the trades n pips away from last trade? At a loss now

Great stuff, thank you. I'll study it.

Yes it does that but my problem is the 1st pending sell grid trade is opened at the same time. It needs to be n number of pips below the 1st pending BUY. The BUYS are Limits and Sells are Stops.

OK nearly there on this particular challenge. So this now opens the grid as planned, however I would prefer a single buy order to open first and then the grid open beneath it by n pips. i.e. I only want both grids to open after the buy single, hope that makes sense?

Thanks I'll check that

Hi not sure if this is a fault but I've searched on the thread and youtube still can find an answer.

When using buy pending orders in grid (- price from last trade) it resends the buy pending orders again after the 1st one is filled resulting in many duplicate Pending Orders?

Is this a bug or is there an easy fix?

Sorted, No trade at top of tree..

Hi how do I get only one pass for the 1st signal?

I just want a signal to initiate the grid pending orders but can't figure out how to stop my 1st buy order to only send order once and ignore all subsequent signals?

Many thanks

Thanks just working through the add to volume example on the how to pages to see if i can figure it out.

I think my problem is using last open price?

Is this correct when what i want to achieve is for Sell - only open new orders x pips from the order most in current loss (i.e. averaging into the trade)?

Phew.. I thought this would be simple. At least I'm learning I think?

I've tried removing once per bar which should work as the logic of don't trade until n pips awy fromlast trade eliminates the need for it. However when I use Pips away from open price (-n pips for sell) it stops the trades from opening, if I use for each trade this also doesn't work out?

Is there a tutorial on using last open blocks, I can't seem to find one?

Think I've figured it out, direction mode = chart model and then once per bar under pink block and before sell block. Thanks for your help

Sorry, still finding my way around!

Thank you, I'm still missing something and tried a new block whilst moving the sell under the pink blocks?

Thank You. This is where I'm at but its still opening trades without the minimum distance, feel like I'm missing something obvious?
