Warning Message: implicit conversion from 'number' to 'string'

[Deepu Nair]

Can someone please assist me with solution to resolve warning message in below code.

implicit conversion from 'number' to 'string'

double CalculateTotalRisk(string symbol, double sl) {

    double totalRisk = 0.0;



    for (int i = 0; i < PositionsTotal(); ++i) {

        if (PositionSelect(i)) {

            // Explicitly retrieve each value

            string posSymbol = PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL);

            double posVolume = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME);

            double posOpenPrice = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN);

            double posSL = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_SL);



            // Breakdown the problematic line further

            double tickValue = SymbolInfoDouble(posSymbol, SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE);

            if (tickValue <= 0) {

                Print("Failed to retrieve valid tick value for ", posSymbol);

                continue;

            }



            // Calculate position risk explicitly

            double priceDifference = posOpenPrice - posSL;

            double riskForPosition = priceDifference * tickValue * posVolume;

            totalRisk += riskForPosition;

        }

    }

PositionSelect needs symbol(as string input parameter).

I suggest you use PositionGetTicket to select position by index.

Deepu Nair:
    for (int i = 0; i < PositionsTotal(); ++i) {

use i++

Yashar Seyyedin #: use i++ 

They are equivalent by themselves. ++i is more efficient on non-optimizing compilers.
