Can I close the EA's opened positions manually?

New comment
 
Hi friends. I hope you are enjoying a nice day. 
I have an EA with an strategy, that I want it to only open positions. Of course there's rule for closing the positions in emergency situations. However, I want to be able to close the positions myself, because I'll probably be able to avoid a profit trade becoming a loss trade (based on technical and fundamental analysis).
So if there's no code for closing the positions manually by me in my EA, will I be able to close them manually, or there must be a code for that? If so, what would it be?

No problems closing ea deals manually, just close the order(s) in your terminal or by phone app ;)

Sorry to ask but do you have any experience with EAs. Do you know how to activate them and have them working 24/7? Well i have a VPS from Metaquotes, will it be enough for my purpose? If so, what is the process to activate EA on it?

Yes, you load your EA on the chart you want to trade with, setup your EA settings, click the Autotrading button and then right click on your MQL5 VPS server, in the Navigator window >> Synchronize experts, indicators.

When migrating to MQL5 vps auto trading is always on no matter if you have auto trading on/off in your terminal.The button in your terminal turn red(auto trading off) after migrating
