Hi,
Maybe we can help more if you can please show us more of your code
So, we will understand why you use PositionSelect(), because usualy we use PositionGetTicket() or PositionSelectByTicket()
//+---------------+
//| Get positions |
//+---------------+
ulong totalpos=PositionsTotal();
ulong ticket;
for (ulong i=0; i<totalpos; i++)
{
if((ticket=PositionGetTicket(i))>0)
{
//--do something
Print(PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL),". Ticket no: ",ticket);
}
}
......
ResetLastError();
if(!PositionSelectByTicket(ticket))
{
Print("*! Can't find open order ticket ",ticket," >>> (error: ",GetLastError(),". Desc : ",getErrorDesc(GetLastError()),")");
//--do something.
}
else //--ticket found.
{
//--do something.
}
