Close orders with magic number at certain profit

MiniMe 2008.03.29 13:18

I need help please,

I am trying to close orders from different currency pairs ( long and short ) but with the same magic number when the profit reach define target " lets say 15 pips" without touching the other orders with different magic number

so I wrote this code to check open trades and count the profit on trades with magic number 111

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//| check profitable positions with magic 111 |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

for(cnt=OrdersTotal();cnt>=0;cnt--)

{

OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if( OrderMagicNumber()==111 )

{

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)

{

CurrentProfitB+=Bid-OrderOpenPrice() ;

}//if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)

if(OrderType()==OP_SELL)

{

CurrentProfitS+=OrderOpenPrice()-Ask;

}//if(OrderType()==OP_SELL)

} //if( OrderSymbol()==Symbol1 && OrderMagicNumber()==111 )

CurrentProfit=CurrentProfitB+CurrentProfitS;

}// for(cnt=OrdersTotal();cnt>=0;cnt--)

//======================

[/PHP]

then I check if we make profit

// Did we make a profit

//======================

if(profit>0 && CurrentProfit>=(profit*Point))

{

while(true)

{

CloseAllOrd(111);

}//while

}//if(profit>0 && CurrentProfit>=(profit*Point))

if we make a profit I call the function CloseAllOrd

[PHP]

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//| Close all |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

void CloseAllOrd(int magic)

{

RefreshRates();

int total = OrdersTotal();

for (int cnt = 0 ; cnt < total ; cnt++)

{

OrderSelect(0,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);

if (OrderMagicNumber() == magic)

if(IsTradeContextBusy()) Sleep(1000);

if(IsTradeContextBusy()) Sleep(2000);

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,slippage,White);

if(OrderType()==OP_SELL)

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,slippage,White);

}

however this will only close EURUSD after it reach 1 pip of profit sometimes 2

I need to close all orders( different currency pairs ) with magic number 111 at lets say 15 pips of profit , without touching other orders

can someone please help me

Hi There ...

Because you are working with any symbol you can not use things such as bid , ask, point but rather MarketInfo( OrderSymbol(), MODE_BID ), MarketInfo( OrderSymbol(), MODE_ASK ) etc ...

Try updating to this:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//| check profitable positions with magic 111 |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

for(cnt=OrdersTotal();cnt>=0;cnt--)

{

OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if( OrderMagicNumber()==111 )

{

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)

{

CurrentProfitB+= MarketInfo( OrderSymbol(), MODE_BID)-OrderOpenPrice() ;

}//if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)

if(OrderType()==OP_SELL)

{

CurrentProfitS+=OrderOpenPrice()- MarketInfo( OrderSymbol(), MODE_ASK );

}//if(OrderType()==OP_SELL)

} //if( OrderSymbol()==Symbol1 && OrderMagicNumber()==111 )

CurrentProfit=CurrentProfitB+CurrentProfitS;

}// for(cnt=OrdersTotal();cnt>=0;cnt--)

//======================

[/PHP]

[PHP]

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//| Close all |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

void CloseAllOrd(int magic)

{

RefreshRates();

int total = OrdersTotal();

for (int cnt = 0 ; cnt < total ; cnt++)

{

OrderSelect(0,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);

if (OrderMagicNumber() == magic)

if(IsTradeContextBusy()) Sleep(1000);

if(IsTradeContextBusy()) Sleep(2000);

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),MarketInfo( OrderSymbol(), MODE_BID),slippage,White);

if(OrderType()==OP_SELL)

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),MarketInfo( OrderSymbol(), MODE_ASK),slippage,White);

}

You may want to check your log for more errors but that should do it.

Thanks a lot Patrick, I think you are right. I will change the code and try it

I need help please,

Here is some code that should work

void closeProfitable(int tpPips, int magic) {

for(i=0; i<OrdersTotal(); i++) {

if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==false)

break;

if(OrderMagicNumber() != magic)

continue;

double oAsk = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_ASK);

double oBid = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_BID);

if(OrderType() == OP_BUY &&

oBid > OrderOpenPrice() + tpPips * Point) {

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),oBid,0);

i--;

}

if(OrderType() == OP_SELL &&

oAsk < OrderOpenPrice() - tpPips * Point) {

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),oAsk,0);

i--;

}

ps. that code is not tested, I wrote it to this post directly but it should work

Yes but that would close trades on profit , I am looking at the combined trades menaing that EURUSD could be in 30pips+ and USDCHF could be in -15 pips so I look at the overall profit of trades with magic number 111 if the total profit from all those trades reach 15 pips I close all orders of magic number 111 only at combined profit of 15 pips

Close all orders with Add Magic Number to Select By Magic Number

Okay now I get your point.. If you don't mind using a big array..

#define MAX_MAGIC_NUMBER 100 // or whatever

void closeProfitable(int tpPips, int magic) {

double profit[MAX_MAGIC_NUMBER];

for(i=0; i<OrdersTotal(); i++) {

if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==false)

break;

if(OrderMagicNumber() != magic)

continue;

double oAsk = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_ASK);

double oBid = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_BID);

if(OrderType() == OP_BUY)

profit[OrderMagicNumber()] += oBid - OrderOpenPrice();

if(OrderType() == OP_SELL)

profit[OrderMagicNumber()] += OrderOpenPrice() - oAsk;

}

for(i=0; i<OrdersTotal(); i++) {

if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==false)

break;

if(OrderMagicNumber() != magic)

continue;

double oAsk = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_ASK);

double oBid = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_BID);

if(profit[OrderMagicNumber()] >= tpPips*Point) {

if(OrderType() == OP_BUY) {

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),oBid,0);

i--;

}

if(OrderType() == OP_SELL) {

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),oAsk,0);

i--;

}

same disclaimers as above, I didn't test this at all

MiniMe 2008.03.29 14:54 #6

what does

#define MAX_MAGIC_NUMBER 100 // or whatever

do ?

also this line

double profit[MAX_MAGIC_NUMBER];

do I just put 111 there ? I am a bit confused as I am new in programming

Thanks a lot for your help

yes I think I can use part of the code it seems to do what I want, now I had made 3 experts , each one based on a reply I got , lucky me.

I will test them this week , I thank you Mistigri , mikkom and waltini your help is really appricated

Minime,

I created the following piece of code to get the total profit of all orders with the same magic number:

double OPBM(int intMagic)//OrderProfitByMagic

{

double dblProfit=0;

int intPOS=0;

bool boolTerm=false;

while(boolTerm==false)

{

if(OrderSelect(intPOS,SELECT_BY_POS))

{

if(OrderMagicNumber()==intMagic) dblProfit=dblProfit+OrderProfit();

intPOS++;

}

else

boolTerm=true;

}

return(dblProfit);

}[/PHP]

All you have to do is copy the above code and paste it in your EA, I usually put it at the bottom, after the

return(0);

}[/PHP]

You will also want to use a Close By Magic function:

int CBM(int intMagic)//CloseByMagic

{

int intOffset=0;

int Count = OTBM(intMagic);

while(OTBM(intMagic)>0 && Count > 0)

{

OrderSelect(intOffset,SELECT_BY_POS);

if(OrderMagicNumber()==intMagic)

{

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY) OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_BID),999,Red);

else if(OrderType()==OP_SELL) OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_ASK),999,Orange);

Count--;

}

else {

intOffset++;

}

return(0);

}

Also include this Orders Total By Magic Function:

[PHP]int OTBM(int intMagic)//OrdersTotalByMagic

{

int intCount=0;

int intPOS=0;

bool boolTerm=false;

while(boolTerm==false)

{

if(OrderSelect(intPOS,SELECT_BY_POS))

{

if(OrderMagicNumber()==intMagic) intCount++;

intPOS++;

}

else

boolTerm=true;

}

return(intCount);

}

Then all you need to code is:

[PHP]if (OPBM(Your_Magic_Number) >= Your_Profit_Target)

{

CBM(Your_Magic_Number);

}

Hope this helps.
