How do i close multiple positions?

[Alfred Nwanokwai]

Hello there!

I'm working on an Expert advisor. I want it to close all positions when there is a 2 pips retracement.

I utilize Ctrade Standard library to open and close positions.

Yes, I'm aware of the SetAsyncMode() method, but it doesn't solve the issue.

I tried orderSendAsync(), it still doesn't fix the issue.

Help please 🥺

• Usually people who can't code don't receive free help on this forum.
• If you show your attempts and describe your problem clearly, you will most probably receive an answer from the community. Use the CODE button (Alt-S) when inserting code.
• To learn MQL programming, you can research the many available Articles on the subject, or examples in the Codebase, as well as reference the online Documentation.
  
• 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). However, recommendations or suggestions for Market products are not allowed on the forum, so you will have to do your own research.
  
• Finally, you also have the option to hire a programmer in the Freelance section.

Hello 👋

 I tried that approach as well, though it work only when I set stop loss to 5pips below entry. When I tried to set it to 2pips I got an error, Invalid stoploss

That is probably because you are violating the Stops Level or Freeze Level.

Setting the TakeProfit and StopLoss levels within the SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL minimum level

Attempt to modify order or position within the SYMBOL_TRADE_FREEZE_LEVEL freeze level
