{quote} no i mean can we or not dispense of first one in your code ? or its presense is very important ? ?
In my opinion, its presense is very important.
In order to using these functions:
PostionGetInteger
PositionGetDouble
PoistionGetString
we, first, need to select which position to work with,
by using PositionGetTicket(index) or PositionGetSymbol(index) or PositionSelect(symbol)

{quote} yes using OOP concepts make things better . . i have compile your code "as it is" : {image} - how to remove these errors ?
This version can be compiled without errors. This is only an excerpt and does not make any sense on its own.

Excellent .. but assume there are some swaps/commisions/ ??
your code sume of (lots*openprice)/Lots .... does not take it into considertaion . . .

commision = -0.21 USD = almost 1 pip

excellent ...
SmartGrid is more accurate since it takes commisions into considertaion . .

your open positions, have some commistions

yes, this is the most accurate value . . .

your calc average + or - commistions affect ( = Commision/(1Lot_PV*Lots)

this may do the job to the max accuracy . .
any possible mistake in the code?
result will be diff in pips . .
if you want avge price, just add(for buy to ASK) or subtract(for sell to BID) these pips from current price . . .
