MQL5- Loop to check if position is profiting or losing?
How to look for profiting and looking positions?
Returning the ticket/deal numbers
What have you got so far?
nothing so far. Need help
learn to code it, or pay (Freelance) someone to code it.
We’re not going to code it for you.
We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem.
Good luck with this.
I got “Invalid Stop” errors for the PositionModify

You have to check your SL/TP against the StopLevels.
