Is it possible i close multi-positions at once?sometimes i am just lazy to close it 1 by 1.And is it possible to close all the position with profit at once or vice versa?

Sorry,i just found the EA that will help me to close all open and pending positions at once.Now i just want a EA that will help me close all + pips positions or - pips positions at once. thanks

You can try this if you want. I set it up with several close options. It doesn't use MagicNumber but that could be added.

1.) You can set a dollar amount and once your float hits that amount it will close all trades.

2.) You can hit CloseAll and it will close everything.

3.) You can hit CloseProfitableTradesOnly and it will only close trades that are above the amount you set. It can be 0, $5, $25 or whatever.

4.) You can close all pending orders and leave other trades open.

Wow! that's also what I'm looking for. Is that a script?

I can't seem to get it work. When I hit the compile button the warning says "too long variable name", can anyone help me with this?

I just want the "close all positions when floating profit reached a certain amount" function. What settings should I change if ever I want all positions to close, for example I want to have it close when amount reach $1000.

Can anyone help?

Yes, put it in your expert file. If you're running another EA just open another chart and put this on there. You can shorten the variable names to anythng you want to make it work. And you can set the "ProfitTarget" to any amount you want and when your total float hits that amount it will close ALL trades open or pending.

Also, this code can be easily inserted into any other EA so that you don't have to run 2 EA's if this is how you want to close trades. If anyone needs help with that, let me know.

It's set up to close everything that's open regardless of what currency or MagicNumber it is.

If you want me to add all this into an existing EA so that it only closes trades from one EA, send a PM and I'll give my email to send the EA. It'll only take a few minutes if I'm on the comupter.

What is the "Profitable trade amount" function?

I hedged 3 pairs, GU, EU and UC. only the first 2 pairs had closed, the UC remained open. It was during news time. hmmm... I might have set it wrong. I'll try it again.

If you set "CloseProfitableTradesOnly" to true, it will close any trades that get into profit once they are more than "Profitable Trade amount" but leave trades that have not reached that level open. You might have had that set to true and your GU and EU were in profit and the UC wasn't. If it' is set to false, then it will look at all trades added up and only close when the total float hits the ProfitTarget.

I mainly use this for manual trading. I set trades on 6 to 10 currencies and when the overall profit hits the ProfitTarget, it closes ALL my orders. If you have a decent success rate and can get a majority of trades in profit, then this closes everything so you can start again. Usually a couple trades end up negative but as long as the overall prifit hits my target, I make profit, close everything and start over.

Waaaahhh... I can't seem to get it work. Tell me guys, what have I done wrong? Here's what I did:

I just want all my position to close when total floating profits reaches $1000.

-Attach the EA to the chart.
-check allow live trade.
-Set at:
ProfitTarget: 1000
CloseAllNow: false
CloseProfitableTradesOnly: false
ProfitableTradeAmount: 0
ClosePendingOnly: false
UseAlerts: false:
-Then I click "ok".
-and lastly, click the EA button on top of the platform.

Did I get it right? or I'm I missing something here?

Looking for an EA that I can set Currency and Negative dollar amount and if float gets negative dollar amount, close all and start again fresh.
Thanks

Here I just wrote this script. It will close one pair only that you select, or if left blank, it will close only the pair on the chart it is run on.

It will close buys, sells, limit orders and stop orders.

Thanks to Ronald Raygun for the great idea on the closing function portion of this script

Hi, I do not understand the difference with Profitable Target and Profitable Trade Amount??

I tested the script and it is fantastic!
