What do you mean with *current value*?

POSITION_PRICE_CURRENT is like it self described the current price of a position.

On netting account this means the price of *ALL* long positions; exactly 1 position, there can not be more.

On hedge account, you need to loop over all long trades as there can be more then 1 position.

Take the magic number combined with the Symbol name and the order type and add up all profits to get the total.

Hi Enrique Dangeroux,

Thanks for your answer.
How I know by code it's a netting account ?

if ( AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_MARGIN_MODE) == ACCOUNT_MARGIN_MODE_RETAIL_NETTING )
{
    Print("netting");
}

Pseudo-code, not tested.

    CPositionInfo   m_position;                                     // trade position object

     . . . 

    // calculate whether there is an open position
    int profitLossPts = 0;
    for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1;i>=0;i--) // returns the number of open positions
    {
        if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i))
        {
            if(m_position.Symbol()==Symbol() && m_position.Magic()==m_magic)
            {
                // Long only
                if ( m_position.PositionType() == POSITION_TYPE_BUY )
                {
                    const double profitLossPts = (SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_BID) - g_position.PriceOpen()) / Point();
                    totalProfitLossPts += profitLossPts;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    // Now convert to USD, e.g.
    double profitLossUSD = profitLossPts * valueOfPoint;

MQL4 does not allow for netting accounts. I am programming an EA in MQL4, could anyone give me a code example of how to add up open long positions? Of importance to me would be,(how much do I own?)( what they are worth at the current price) (and what I paid for them). 

Thank you. (I attached my query to this thread because I thought it to be relevant)
