SAR (Stop and reverse) strategy with TRADE_ACTION_CLOSE_BY ? (MQL5)

Hi, Buy 1 (+1 long) then Sell 2 (-1 short), then Buy 2 (+1 long)… Can I use "TRADE_ACTION_CLOSE_BY" for this strategy ? Is it useful, does it save transaction fees in this case ? If yes, how?? No Ctrade library please. I've spent hours trying to find a MQL5 code example !! Thank you
