How to close multi-open-trades at one shot

[salam samaha]

we would like to hv somebody telling us on how to close several opened trades at one shot and not to close them individually or one by one.

Try this:

The attached script file should close all orders at same time. Place it in script folder and compile. Just drag to chart screen when needed. I haven't tested it. Hope it works.

Another way is to code it inside EA to CloseAllTrades when called.

if(x==?) CloseAllTrades(); // insert a call in int start() section of EA.
 
// insert this following code after 
// int start() {  
 
// } section of EA.
 
void CloseAllTrades() {
   for (int i=0; i<OrdersTotal(); i++) { 
      if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)) { 
         if (OrderSymbol()==Symbol()) { 
            if (OrderType()==OP_BUY) 
               OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,5,Violet);
            if (OrderType()==OP_SELL) 
               OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,5,Violet);
            if (OrderType()==OP_SELLSTOP || OrderType()==OP_SELLLIMIT || 
                OrderType()==OP_BUYSTOP || OrderType()==OP_BUYLIMIT) 
               OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
         }
      }
   }
}

Thanks! I gave that a try and it is still closing 1 by 1.

Unfortunately, that code is wrong. Use this

void CloseAllTrades() {
   for (int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0; i--) { 
      if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS)) { 
         if (OrderSymbol()==Symbol()) { 
            if (OrderType()<=OP_SELL) 
               OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),OrderClosePrice(),5,Violet);
            else   OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
         }
      }
   }
}

There's already another active thread right now asking basically the same question if you even bothered to look. https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/127997 Open multiple Meta-Traders otherwise, its NOT possible.

You MUST refreshRates between each server call.

Not necessary.

If you want to close all orders at all, try this

void CloseAllTrades() {
   for (int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0; i--) { 
      if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS)) { 
            if (OrderType()<=OP_SELL) 
               OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),OrderClosePrice(),5,Violet);
            else   OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
      }
   }
}

alternative close trade by...

may be usefull for you...

void closebuy()

{

int total=OrdersTotal(),i;

for(i=total-1; i>=0; i--)

{

OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if ((OrderType()==OP_BUY) || OrderSymbol()==Symbol())

{

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,Slippage,CLR_NONE);

}

}

return(0);

}

void closesell()

{

int total=OrdersTotal(),i;

for(i=total-1; i>=0; i--)

{

OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if ((OrderType()==OP_SELL) || OrderSymbol()==Symbol())

{

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,Slippage,CLR_NONE);

}

}

return(0);

}

Folks there is no capability either manually or programmatically to close all orders in an account. Each order must be selected and closed. CB
