You can make two iCustoms and in the input parameters a flag to select the desired indicator. And if the numbering of the buffers does not match - make changes too. What is the best way to do it?

Here's a thought: what if you just close all your positions on the first week of each month? That way you can close all positions with negative profits.

Here's a thought: if you just close all of your positions at the first week of every month? So we may close all positions with negative profit.

Well, if we work according to version 1.002 - in OnTradeTransaction we close ALL profitable positions, which are opposite to DEAL_ENTRY_IN, then unprofitable positions will accumulate. So I decided how to get rid of unprofitable positions: what if we simply close ALL positions at the beginning of the month - to cut the tails, so to speak. Then start all over again - from an open list, so to speak.

It probably depends on the timeframe used: for example on M1 there will be a lot of trades and you can close at the end/beginning of the day, on larger timeframes there will be less trades and therefore you will need to close less often.
