Not a number, but a counter that counts how many trade it has already been opened from this bot for each symbol. Then I will store it in comment column, so it will immediately know the running counter for this symbols.

I can imagine that it will works something like this:

Symbol.Counter += 1;

PlaceStopOrder(tradePosition, SymbolName, volumeInUnit, EntryPrice, myLabel, stopLoss, takeProfit, null, "Trade #" + Symbol.Counter);

The problem is I don't know how to declare the variable of "Symbol.Counter" like that?

Hi,

All open positions are inside Positions collection and all open pending orders are inside PendingOrders collection.

You can execute any query on those two for filtering them or transforming them based on your needs.

To get the number of open positions or orders for a symbol you can use these methods (add using System.Linq; on top of your indicator/cBot file):

        private int GetSymbolPositionsCount(string symbolName)
        {
            return Positions.Count(position => position.SymbolName.Equals(symbolName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
        }

        private int GetSymbolOrdersCount(string symbolName)
        {
            return PendingOrders.Count(order => order.SymbolName.Equals(symbolName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
        }
