I want a little help for coding, i want to know if previous trade was long or short.


So based on this code, i make a bool :

Code: Select all

bool Is previous trade long ()
{

if (OrdersHistoryTotal() == 0) return(false);
   
   for (int cc = OrdersHistoryTotal() - 1; cc >= 0; cc--)
   {
      if (!OrderSelect(cc, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY) ) continue;
      if (OrderMagicNumber() != MagicNumber) continue;
      if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol() ) continue;

But i'm stuck here, how differentiate the longs form the shorts ?

Can someone please could help me to correct my code, thanks a lot !

if (OrderType() == OP_BUY) return(true);

//Got this far, so the order was not a buy
return(false);
