MQL5 Closing part of the Position by using 'PositionClosePartial()'

#1

Hi,

I’d like to close part of the pocition. Eg. the opened position = 1 LOT. And I would like to close 0.7 LOT.

I am using the function PositionClosePartial, but it does not work for me.

Maybe because of the last parameter “Deviation”, as I could not find what are the units of deviation (But I have tried to increase the deviation to the really huge number and it didn’t helped). Or from another reason, but I don’t know why.

Please could you help?

CPositionInfo  m_position; 
CTrade         m_trade;

int OnInit()
{
   for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1;i>=0;i--)
   {
      if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i))
      {
         if(m_position.Symbol()==Symbol())
         {
            m_trade.PositionClosePartial(m_position.Ticket(),0.1,20);
         }
      }
   }
}

Move your code out of OnInit to OnTick,OnEvent, or OnTimer

I’ve had it in OnInit just for quick test, bu t I have just moved it to OnTick, but It did not helped :frowning:

You’re probably not on a hedge account then, and if that’s the case you need to send an opposite order.

You could also try this instead of CTrade…

This CTradeAlt works properly. Thank you very much. (y)
