Use OrdersTotal and OrderSelect functions to iterate through all positions. Check the type of orders using the OrderType function.
 

Thanks for your reply, but I mean using programming language ( MQL4 ) in MetaEditor, such as  PositionGetDouble() in MQL5.

  1. Why did you post your MT4 question in the Root / MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)

    Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

  2. Do you really want to read all positions? Or only the EAs positions? Or only the EAs positions on the current chart symbol?
    Using OrdersTotal (or OrdersHistoryTotal) directly and/or no Magic number filtering on your OrderSelect loop means your code is incompatible with every EA (including itself on other charts and manual trading.)

Thanks for your reply. Its my first question in the forum. When I link to forum of www.mql4.com, it tends to mql5 forum, so...
I just wanna read the current holding positions, not history, not pending orders. Ehsan Tarakemeh (#4)'s answer is great. Using OrdersTotal, OrderSelect function, OrderType could solve it.
