Question about PositionsTotal() from a newbie

[johnf35]

Within MetaEditor 5.00, I have inserted the following line into my EA code: 

NumOpenPosns = PositionsTotal(); 

On compilation, I get the following error message: "'PositionsTotal' - function not defined."  How do I fix this problem?  Isn't PositionsTotal a built-in function?

PositionsTotal() is an mql5 function, are you trying to use it with mql4 ?

Why did you post your MT4 question in the 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.
