PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE) always get

[Kan Kan]

PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE) returns 0, when the function fail, and when the position type is BUY.

the coding result always returns 0, regardless of buy position, sell position.

How to correct this problem?

// Order placement
   if(newBar == true && timerOn == true)
      {

      bool select=PositionSelect(_Symbol);
      if(select==true) 
      {
         ENUM_POSITION_TYPE type=PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE);
         if(type==POSITION_TYPE_BUY) positionType=1;
         if(type==POSITION_TYPE_SELL) positionType=-1;
      }
      else positionType=0;
...}

You must abandon the construction:

 bool select=PositionSelect(_Symbol);

you need to go through all positions in the loop:

   for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)
      if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i)) // selects the position by index for further access to its properties
