fxsaber:

The presence of positions and DEAL_ENTRY flags should not be involved in the logic in any way.

Yes, they should...

Here is the situation: We have a 1 lot position and a 0.1 lot stop order.

A stop order is activated and we obtain a TRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD and DEAL_ENTRY_IN transaction.

As a result of this event, part of the position is closed and a new transaction TRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD but with DEAL_ENTRY_OUT is received

Hence, there is the double transaction type and necessity of controlling the transaction direction.

To disprove this statement, just run the Expert Advisor I cited. Unfortunately, it is the weekend, so it will not work.

It is quite possible to have a netting position of zero, but there are two SLs and two TPs.

And who forbids to check if(!PositionSelectByTicket(trans.position)) and delete those pending orders???

Situation step by step

1. Initial BuyLimit and SellLimit for 1 lot, no open positions.
2. BuyLimit triggers - its SL/TP-trends appear. An open Buy position is 1 lot.
3. SellLimit triggers - its SL/TP-positions appear. There is no position opened.

For hedges this situation is identical to the one when there are two oppositely directed positions and SL/TP-positions are set for each of them. It is exactly the same in this case, only in Netting the oppositely directed positions are not visible.

Alexey Viktorov:

Why remove something that should remain? It is a perfectly normal situation when there are two differently directed "positions" with their SL/TP.

You don't seem to understand the task at all or you present it as primitive. Expert Advisor must always trade, even if the user has started to trade with his hands in parallel.

Article on the subject.

Situation step by step.

1. Initial BuyLimit and SellLimit for 1 lot are standing, no open positions.
2. BuyLimit triggers - its SL/TP puts appear. An open Buy position is 1 lot.
3. SellLimit triggers - its SL/TP-positions appear. There is no position opened.

For hedges this situation is identical to the one when there are two oppositely directed positions and SL/TP-positions are set for each of them. It is exactly the same in this case, only in Netting the oppositely directed positions are not visible.

Don't you see any contradictions here?

I don't see it. The inverted commas are there for a reason.

So there are no positions, or are they in inverted commas?
