FXCodeBase.COM: Forex Chart Indicators and Development

Hello everyone.

My question is:
Who can I add the condition " if a position is open in this pair, turn off alerts", in a indicator?

For example if I had this code

Code: Select all


void manageAlerts()
{
   if (alertsOn)
   {
      int whichBar = 1; if (alertsOnCurrent) whichBar = 0;
      if (trend[whichBar] != trend[whichBar+1])
      {
         if (trend[whichBar]== 1) doAlert(whichBar,"up");
         if (trend[whichBar]==-1) doAlert(whichBar,"down");
      }
   }
}

I was thinking in the lines of :


void manageAlerts()
{
if (alertsOn) && (command that tells that there is not a position open in that symbol ) = true


or


void manageAlerts()
{
if (alertsOn) && (command that tells that there is position open in that symbol ) = false

I don't know code , I know little of programming, but enough to understand the logic of the code.

Thank you for your help in advance.

if (alertsOn && IsPositionExists)

...


bool IsPositionExist()
{
for (int i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES))
{
if (OrderSymbol() == _Symbol)
{
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}

Dear Apprentice

I tried various ways to apply this code but it is always giving the error:

'IsPositionExists' - undeclared identifier

I tried in various indicators put the code in various places even the ones that I know were wrong, tried to find some tutorials, I unnecessary/wrong declared the bool ispositionExists variable, but simply couldn't make it work.

Can you please add that code to this indicators.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much for this modification. It works perfectly.
Now I know what I was doing wrong and applied in 2 other indicator just for test and it works perfectly.

Again, Thank you for your work.
