Close Minus by Plus - Closing loss-making positions, by finding and closing of profitable positions

This article describes an algorithm that was written 4 years ago, but has not been brought to mind. But with the presentation of our valued customers, the project has earned again.

close-by +

 

To begin with, I would like to express my gratitude to our regular customer. Thanks to   Alexander Puzanov. who again started the mechanism of this assistant.

 

Covers losing positions by identifying and closing winning positions.

This assistant looks for the most loss-making position among all positions in the terminal.

Further, by searching for other positions, it calculates a series of orders that can cover the loss and closes them.

The series of orders can include any position. The maximum number of positions is specified in the settings of the Expert Advisor.

 

 

All the work is that we put the expert on a separate chart, set it up and work further on our terminal. When the programmed condition comes - the expert advisor joins in the work and begins his calculations.

 

At what all calculations the expert advisor writes down in logs, it looks so:

As you can see from this entry, we had many open positions (a chaotic discovery).
In the settings, we set up - start the calculation when the largest unprofitable position with a minus -50 (  MinLossInUnit = -50) pips (  TypeOfUnitToClose = 2) and the aggregate profit will be 20 pips more is found (  AdditionalProfitInUnit = 20)

Also we have established that it is necessary to close no more than 5 orders (  MaxPos_in_Class = 5 )

 

The expert found the position at a loss of -51 pip, as well as a series of orders with a profit of +72 pips. and, in fact, closed both the unprofitable position, and a series of profitable positions.

External Variables and Settings

 

Name	Description
TypeOfUnitToClose	Type of profit and loss. In dollars or in points
MinLossInUnit	Minimum loss of position in units ( TypeOfUnitToClose ), which is taken into account the Expert advisor. An order with a loss in the "MinLossPoss_in_unit" units (dollars or points) must be set in the negative zone. This is the top bar for finding loss-making positions. For example: MinLossInUnit = -100 TypeOfUnitToClose = dollars, then the EA looks for or expects a position at a loss greater than or equal to -100 dollars, for example: -100 dollars, -150 dollars -200 dollars and so on. The position with a loss of -99 dollars is already ignored.
AdditionalProfitInUnit	The number of units of profit for the difference in the closing of the set of positions. Position (one or several) with a total profit exceeding the loss on the " AdditionalProfitInUnit " units. For example: AdditionalProfitInUnit = 10 MinLossInUnit = -100 TypeOfUnitToClose = dollars The advisor is looking for or waiting for at least 2 positions, one of which at a loss of -100 dollars, and the second with a profit of +110 dollars. at this point the adviser decides on the inclusion of his function
MaxPos_in_Class	The parameter "MaxPos_in_Class" should limit the number of positions of the entire "set" of closing. For example: MaxPos_in_Class = 3, then the expert advisor will look for a set for closing from a maximum of 3 positions (1 loss-making and 2 profitable ones)
FirstSymbolClose	Search for pairs of positions and close only the currency, minus which we are processing. You can turn off the FirstSymbolClose parameter , then the EA will close any kits from the losing and profitable positions in the entire account, regardless of which currency pair is included in the calculation. When you enable FirstSymbolClose -   the expert advisor considers and closes sets from one currency pair
OpenHoura OpenMinutea	Start time of the Expert Advisor
CloseHoura CloseMinutea	End time of the Expert Advisor
OrderToClose	Positions type: -1 = All Orders, 1-Sell, 0 = Buy
MagicToClose	Magic of positions: -1 = any magic numbers. Or you can specify a unique magic number of its positions, which should be processed. You can specify multiple magic numbers separated by commas.
SymbolToClose	Currency pair for monitoring -1 = All Symbol, 1-Current Symbol
