Hi Denis,

I would like to start by thanking you for this amazing library, it makes life very easy for novice users like myself. I am not a professional programmer, but just about manage to understand, tweak and debug some code a bit. 

I am using your sample code from "Test_Hedge_Properties" as a function in an EA that I am testing, and found that after closing all (2) positions, when I call the function

"Update_Hedge_Info", after 1st ticket is closed, the variable that counts the number of positions, "hdg_number_of_pos_total" updates from (2) to (1).

However, after the second ticket closes, the variable still shows (1), it does not update to (0).

I am not sure if I have coded it right, but your kind input and expertise will be greatly appreciated.

I am attaching the EA and screenshot. 

Thank you and regards.

 

Im using hedge_info.Margin() to calculate the current margin in my EA.

I wonder about the following (*) line inside CHedgePositionInfo::AveragePrice inside the "switch(curr_quote_type) ... case QUOTE_TYPE_CROSS:".

Im using EURCHF and major_symbol is USDEUR. As USDEUR is not supported by 99,9% of all forex brokers but at most a user defined cross, the following SymbolSelect command leads to an error message while backtesting. Maybe its a broker issue but in my case this leads to an abrupt abort of the strategy tester because the active symbol is now USDEUR and not the pair I initially started the strategy tester on (EURCHF).

if(SymbolSelect(major_symbol,true))    // (*)

So what helped in my case is removing the USDEUR from the market watch at the end of CHedgePositionInfo::AveragePrice by:

SymbolSelect(major_symbol,false);
