How to compute the average price for open long positions ?

[[Deleted]]

Hello,

Has anyone already coded a function that computes the average price for open long positions and the average price of its open short positions, and would be willing to share this code?

Also with the calculation of the gain / loss potential if closing all positions.

Thanks,

this it what i'm using, do your own changes

   double Lots   = 0.0;
   double Profit = 0.0;
   double OCP    = 0.0;
   double average= 0.0;
   int    OT     = 0;

   for (int i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
      {
      OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
      //-----
      if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderType() == OP_BUY || OrderType() == OP_SELL)
         {
         Lots   = Lots + OrderLots();
         Profit = Profit + OrderProfit() + OrderCommission() + OrderSwap();
         OCP    = OrderClosePrice();
         OT     = OrderType();
         }
      }

      double pips = Profit/Lots/MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_TICKVALUE);
      if (OT == OP_BUY)
         {
         average = OCP - (pips*Point);
         }
      if (OT == OP_SELL)
         {
         average = OCP + (pips*Point);
         }
      Alert ("Lots = ", Lots);
      Alert ("Profit = ", Profit);
      Alert ("pips = ", pips);
      Alert (DoubleToStr(OCP,5));
      Alert ("average is: ", DoubleToStr(average,5));

I have code a EA with a AveragePrice_OP_BUY_Orders function ()

This EA buys a lot each hour, and compute the average open price.
