In this video we will complete our Forex Robot by adding market exit conditions to it. Specifically, we want to close any existing orders before we the Algorithmic Trading System opens new ones. This way we will make sure that there is only one open order at any given time, therefore limiting our currency risk and exposure.
Feel free to leave me some feedback if you have any questions on the code or if you just like my tutorials!
