Thread: Add Close previous order when open new position

Hi, i would like to make request for code for when the new position is open,automatically the previous order will close.Mean i dont want to use take profit or trailling.

Example:
When order buy is open,previous order sell will close
When order sell is open,previous order buy will close

i found the code is OrderCloseBy() but i dont know exactly where to put this code

thanks

Problem solve

put after OrderSend BUY
{
OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,3,Violet) ; // close position

}

put after OrderSend SELL
{
OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,3,Violet) ; // close position

}

Other code i get from ForexFactory thanks to(Fulltime247,magnumfreak)

extern int MAGICTerminal=101;
extern double LOTSize=0.10;
extern string ORDERComment="Order Comment Text";

//TOTAL Count..
int btotal=0; int stotal=0; int ticket=0; double closelots=0; bool xbool;
for( int cnt=OrdersTotal()-1;cnt>=0;cnt--)
{
xbool=OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if(OrderType()==OP_BUY && OrderMagicNumber()==MAGICTerminal && OrderSymbol()==Symbol()){btotal++; ticket=OrderTicket(); closelots=OrderLots();}
if(OrderType()==OP_SELL && OrderMagicNumber()==MAGICTerminal && OrderSymbol()==Symbol()){stotal++; ticket=OrderTicket(); closelots=OrderLots();}

}// END TOTAL count..


if(WHATEVER YOUR CONDITION FOR A BUY)
{

if(btotal>0){OrderClose(ticket,closelots,Bid,3,CLR _NONE);}
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,LOTSize,Ask,3,0,0 ,ORDERComment,MAGICTerminal,0,Magenta);
}

if(WHATEVER YOUR CONDITION FOR A SELL)
{
if(stotal>0){OrderClose(ticket,closelots,Ask,3,CLR _NONE);}

ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,LOTSize,Bid,3,0, 0,ORDERComment,MAGICTerminal,0,Lime);
}
