int countLongPositions(int magic)

   int counterBuy = 0;

   for(int i = PositionsTotal() - 1; i>=0; i--)
     {
      string symbol = PositionGetSymbol(i);
      int PositionMagicNumber = (int)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_MAGIC);

      //Comment(symbol) ;
      if(PositionMagicNumber == magic && _Symbol==symbol)
        {
         long  pos_type       =(ENUM_POSITION_TYPE)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE);

         if(pos_type == 0)     // 0 = buy; 1 = sell
           {
            counterBuy = counterBuy +1;
           }
        }
     }
   return counterBuy;
  }

int countShortPositions(int magic)
  {

   int counterSell = 0;

   for(int i = PositionsTotal() - 1; i>=0; i--)
     {
      string symbol = PositionGetSymbol(i);
      int PositionMagicNumber = (int)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_MAGIC);

      //Comment(symbol) ;
      if(PositionMagicNumber == magic && _Symbol==symbol)
        {
         long  pos_type       =(ENUM_POSITION_TYPE)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE);

         if(pos_type == 1)     // 0 = buy; 1 = sell
           {
            counterSell = counterSell +1;
           }
        }
     }
   return counterSell;
  }

To get the overall position count, just add them both up.
