In MQL5 to close an order you have to open a mirror counter-order and nothing else?
Use you standard library:
CTrade m_trade; // trading object
...
m_trade.PositionClose(....
или
m_trade.PositionCloseBy(..
and don't have to think about anything.

How can you not think about it? I'm writing a program in MQL5 for real trading, i.e. with real MY money!
I have read the documentation. I do not see a problem with closing a position.
The question is different. - Our SELL is blocked by BUY and SELL and BUY are merged into a single order with a volume equal to zero - is this a close?
So MQL5 excludes lots? Which means I have no chances to get lucky, except for final and irrevocable loss at reversal of the signal (order)?
Look at the signals - MQL5 is not as good as MQL4, to put it mildly...
You'd better improve the situation and remove such a nonsense as "position" from MQL5

So MQL5 excludes lots? Which means that there is no chance for me to get lucky, besides incontrovertibly and irrevocably getting a loss?

You need to correct the situation and remove such a nonsense as "position" from MQL5
Here is an example for a hedge account:
The first operation is Buy 0.02 and the second operation is Sell 0.01. The total of two positions: Buy 0.02 and Sell 0.001. Then we close the Sell 0.01 position and close the Buy 0.02 position:
