Rgd: How do I do a code to ensure my position is at least 30 pips gap

for example (pseudo code): if ( current price < ( MathMax(all prices)+(30 pips*Point) ) ) { too close }

Rgd: How do I do a code to ensure my position is at least 30 pips gap
bool validGap;
validGap = false;
I want to write a code to run to check if Symbol() got open position, it will check all the current running position of Symbol() then check if there are at least 30 pips away from ALL the position, if true, validGap = true and then I can do my position opening.
This code I wanna do is because I trying build an EA base on position sizing and I want ensure all my position is not tightly close together.
Anyone can help me with the code? Thanks !
