First you have to select a position to do something with it.


use m_position.SelectByIndex() function


Example1:

CTrade                  m_trade;      
CPositionInfo           m_position;  
 

 if ( PositionsTotal() > 0) {

      for (int i=0; i < PositionsTotal() ; i++) { 
         if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i)) {
            if (m_position.Symbol()==Symbol() && m_position.Magic()==m_magic) {
               if (m_position.PositionType() == POSITION_TYPE_SELL || m_position.PositionType() == POSITION_TYPE_BUY ) {
        
                  m_trade.PositionClose(m_position.Ticket());  // Close the selected position 

               }
            }
         }
      }
 }




Another example:


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Close all positions                                              |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void CloseAllPositions()
  {
   for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1;i>=0;i--) // returns the number of current positions
      if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i))     // selects the position by index for further access to its properties
         if(m_position.Symbol()==m_symbol.Name() && m_position.Magic()==m_magic)
            m_trade.PositionClose(m_position.Ticket()); // close a position by the specified symbol
  }

   ArraySetAsSeries(ma_ema,true);

   ArraySetAsSeries(ma_lwma,true);

   ArraySetAsSeries(wpr,true);


   int buffer=0,start_pos=0,count=3;

   if(!iGetArray(handle_iMA_EMA,0,start_pos,count,ma_ema) || 

      !iGetArray(handle_iMA_LWMA,0,start_pos,count,ma_lwma) || 

      !iGetArray(handle_iWPR,0,start_pos,count,wpr))

     {

      PrevBars=0; return;

     }

   if(ma_ema[0]<ma_lwma[0] && ma_ema[1]>ma_lwma[1] &&wpr[1]<wpr[0]>=50.0) //Buy
