Problems with PositionTotal()

[Ariel Pardo]

This is my code and i want to know if PositionTotal() always return 0

#include <Trade\SymbolInfo.mqh>

CSymbolInfo symbol;

double ask,puntos,resultado,porcentaje,TotalPuntosGerenciamiento;
int i;


int OnInit()
  {
   
   //Comment(symbol.Ask());
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
   
    
  }

void OnTick()
  {
   ask=SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK);
   puntos=SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_POINT);
   resultado=ask/puntos;
   porcentaje=resultado/100;
   TotalPuntosGerenciamiento=porcentaje*50;//por lo que divido es el riesgo que asumo, en NewEdge es 50
   i=PositionsTotal();
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Comment("ASK: ",ask,
      "\n Puntos o Tick o PIP: ",puntos,
      "\n ASK/Puntos: ",resultado,
      "\n En porcentaje(?): ",porcentaje,
      "\n PuntosGerenciamiento: ",TotalPuntosGerenciamiento,
      "\n Posiciones: ",i);
   
  }

Thanks in advance

Yes, always. The main thing is not to confuse the concept of POSITION and PENDED ORDER.

That is, PositionTotal () shows the positions that are open at the moment.
