double positonPrice(long type)

   double price = 0;
   for(int i = PositionsTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
   {
      string symbol = PositionGetSymbol(i);
      long position_type = PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE);
      if(Symbol() == symbol)
      {
         if(position_type == type)
         {
            price = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN);

The loop starts with the latest open position and continues towards the oldest open position, and sets the price when a match occurs. That's ok to loop from back to front. But since you are only interested in the latest matching position you need to jump off from the loop as soon as you got the first match. This is what break is for, it quits the loop.

      long position_type = PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE);
      if(Symbol() == symbol)
      {
         if(position_type == type)
         {
            price = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN);
            break;
         }
      }
   }
   return price;
}

And that's it.
