Close Buy after SL change

[EnrichWave]

Anyone guide me what code to insert in this script close the buy orders after change the SL to open price with 2 pip low.

      for(int i = PositionsTotal(); i >= 0; i--)
         {
         if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i))
           if (PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL)==Symbol() && PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE)==POSITION_TYPE_BUY)
            m_trade.PositionClose(m_position.Ticket());

Sorry, but your request isn't clear. Please explain what you are trying to do.

Thank you so much for the reply @Enivid .

void OnStart()
  {
      for(int i = PositionsTotal(); i >= 0; i--)
         {
         if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i))
           if (PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL)==Symbol() && PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE)==POSITION_TYPE_BUY)
            m_trade.PositionClose(m_position.Ticket());          
         }
  }

It's is the script I'm using to close the buy order.. But I would like to move all the SL's to near that open order price before close.. for example
in EURUSD If the order is bought at 1.1012.. While I use the script It should move the SL to 1.1010 (2 point below the open price), and close it.

Kind regards

But what's the point of moving the position's SL just before closing it?

But what's the point of moving the position's SL just before closing it?

I'm implementing a kind of strategy Enivid. I would open an opposite order with higher SL, So the total order risk will be calculated as higher risk.

I still have no idea what's the point is, but you can use the PositionModify() method (I assume m_position is a CTrade object?) just before calling the PositionClose().

Yes Enivid, I understood it's hard to understand.

m_position is a CTrade object?

Yes. its CTrade

you can use the PositionModify()

Yes Enivid. the PositionModify() has (ticket,SL,TP)..
ticket = (I don't know how to get this ticket)
SL=(How to get open price of that order here so we can subtract 2 point from that)
TP=(PositionGetDouble(POSITION_TP)) works fine (without modifying the older TP)
I don't know how to do that..

 

[Enivid]

ticket = (I don't know how to get this ticket)

You've got m_position.Ticket() for that - you already use it to close the trade.

SL=(How to get open price of that order here so we can subtract 2 point from that)

PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN) - 2 * SymbolInfoDouble(PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL), SYMBOL_POINT)

 

[EnrichWave]

PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN) - 2 * SymbolInfoDouble(PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL), SYMBOL_POINT)

Got it Enivid. Thank you so much for the code. I understood now exactly how it works. Thank you so much.

PS: this subtract 20 pips from the Open value.

I misunderstood. Works clear.

But sometime while we have more multiple orders. It's not changing the SL as we give value. It keeps as it was in the beginning.

What is the output in the Journal tab then? It should say something about its attempt to modify the trades.

Got it Enivid. It's If check I used wrong. Now works fine.
