okey okey I changed the code and inserted it. Please check it? Is it correct? Now it leaves the most old position?

No. There is no guarantee the last (or first depending in which direction you are "looking") index would be the oldest position.

Check the date/time of all the positions, record the ticket of the oldest one. Then exclude this ticket from the positions to close.

Please help you yourself.

  • Usually people who cannot code do not receive free help on this forum, although it could happen if you are lucky. Be patient.
  • If you show your attempts and describe your problem clearly, you will most probably receive an answer from the community.
  • If you do not want to learn to code, that is not a problem. You can either look at the Codebase if something free already exists, or in the Market for paid products (also sometimes free).
  • Finally, you also have the option to hire a programmer in the Freelance section.
