Hi Handi

I new to programming, so please take this with a grain of salt:

            //Check To See If Any Pending Orders Are Open
            var TotalOrders = Position.Count;

            {
                //Check if TotalOrders (any position) is open, if so, do not go to next line
                if (TotalOrders = null)
                    
                    //next line
                    ExecuteMarketOrder()
            }

Hope it helps.

Hi Handi

I'm sorry I don't think that is correct ..however, I could be wrong.

If the previous code did not work, try the one below, the previous one was written not copied and pasted:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Requests;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.CentralStandardTime, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class BigBarRobot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Volume:", DefaultValue = 1, MinValue = 1, Step = 1)]
        public int Volume { get; set; }
        [Parameter("StopLossPips:", DefaultValue = 10, MinValue = 1, Step = 0.5)]
        public double StopLossPips { get; set; }
        [Parameter("TakeProfitPips:", DefaultValue = 20, MinValue = 1, Step = 0.5)]
        public double TakeProfitPips { get; set; }

 protected override void OnBar()
        {
            //Search All Positions Open And Label That Search "TotalPositions"
            var TotalPositions = Positions.Count;
            {
                //If The Search Labeled "TotalPositions" Reports That No Position Is Open (Null or Less Than 1 or zero), Then, ExecuteMarketOrder
                if (TotalPositions < 1)
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, "Buy", StopLossPips, TakeProfitPips);
            }
        }

Yes Sir.

i sorry for my broken English, 

so why im asking the code is because the bot keep opening multiple transaction, example : it buy EURUSD, then another minute it buy EURUSD again.

i want to check if i already have EURUSD opened, then the bot no need to open position anymore. But i want them to keep able buy/sell another pair :)

Try this, if it doesn't work, I can't help you anymore.. my programming is too limited:

 protected override void OnBar()
        {        
            foreach (Position Position in Positions.FindAll("Buy", null, TradeType.Buy))
            {
                if (Position.SymbolCode != Symbol.Code)
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, "Buy", StopLossPips, TakeProfitPips);

        public double TakeProfitPips { get; set; }

protected override void OnBar()

            foreach (Position Position in Positions.FindAll("Buy", null, TradeType.Buy))

                if (Position.SymbolCode != Symbol.Code && Position.Label == "Buy")
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, "Buy", StopLossPips, TakeProfitPips);
                else if (Position.SymbolCode != Symbol.Code && Position.Label == "Sell")

            }
        }

}

And then of course, add all of your other IF statements that you need, your other conditions.

It could be because of the foreach statement (Position instead of (var PositionLong..

        {  
            foreach (var PositionLong in Positions.FindAll("Buy", null, TradeType.Buy))
            foreach (var PositionShort in Positions.FindAll("Sell", null, TradeType.Sell))
            {
                if (PositionLong.SymbolCode != Symbol.Code && PositionLong.Label == "Buy")
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, "Buy", StopLossPips, TakeProfitPips);

And you may need these before the foreach statements:

            var PositionLong = Positions.Find("Buy", null, TradeType.Buy);
