Reliable Partial closing of trade

Can somebody recommend the most reliable partial closing method/function of trades.
Thanks in advance.

hello trader101
just last night i looked at 1 of your threads, it had exactly 101 replies, lol

well in a previouse ea i did code a partial closing method, it was kinda tricky

more tricky than i thought

explain more what ur wanting
to close a partial n let the rest run is fairly easy, but to close partial 3 times n let the last run is more tricky

lemme dig
hmm, i dont have that code anymore, so id have to do it from scratch

i made a ozfx ea, it closed 3 times, and the last ran
unfortunatly the ea is on my forum, but iv lost the source
sorry

i might have it backed up, but thats some searching, lemme know if you dont figure it out

its probably on my old pc in the closet

but right off hand, it is tricky, i remember it took me all day to figure it out

there was many ways to be unreliable, trades stopped closing, i eventual got it right

im to intoxicated now to realy even say what i did

but im sure you can figure it out

i think i created some true/false flage so that the ea new what level i was on with each trade

well i found the code, im embarrased to post this mess, i did this 7eral months ago, and iv learned 1000 times since then


heres the piece where i took profit in stages, the math all comes from the starting lots, wrather than the current lots


double slclosed_none= LotsOptimized();
double slclosed_1= NormalizeDouble(LotsOptimized()/5*4,2);
double slclosed_2= NormalizeDouble(LotsOptimized()/5*3,2);
double slclosed_3= NormalizeDouble(LotsOptimized()/5*2,2);
double slclosed_4= NormalizeDouble(LotsOptimized()/5*1,2);


if (scale_sl&&probl==2&& OrderLots()== slclosed_none) {

hidden_stop_loss1();
{

}
}
if (scale_sl&&probl==2&& OrderLots()<= slclosed_none&&OrderLots()>=slclosed_1) {
hidden_stop_loss2();
{

}
}
if (scale_sl&&probl==2&& OrderLots()<= slclosed_1&&OrderLots()>=slclosed_2) {

hidden_stop_loss3();
{

}
}
if (scale_sl&&probl==2&& OrderLots()<= slclosed_2&&OrderLots()>=slclosed_3) {


hidden_stop_loss4();
{

}
}

heres the ea i coded this in, its a mess, probly 5000 lines of code

but its in there, youl need pretty good coding knowledge to trace down the important parts

if you cant figure it out, il have time next weekend that i can code a new code to do this

this code is very primitive to how i code now
its such a mess, its a chore for even me to disect it

thanks Trend,
I did use this kind of partial closing based on pip value and it execute well
in MT4 because it deals only with one order at a time.

what I am looking for is base on account profit. I made one last night and use it this morning. The logic is if it reaches AccountProfit() = $1620 it closes 0.1 lots on all pairs in the basket of trades and wait again for the 1620 to shed another 0.1 lots. Unfortunately it was not reliable. It only closes 7 of 14 pairs then it screwed up the trades, because marker is lot size and with only 7 closed i have 2 different lots sizes on the next tick and the EA got confuse. I hope i explain it well.
Thanks Bro.

you explained it well
its realy a math problem
those problems get complicated

if you seperated it to one ea per pair, and used a custom balance, i think its possible

but 14 pairs with a changing balance, theres so many things to mess up your math

try setting a custom balance, and set lots to not decrease, in ther mm, set it to only increase, and never decrease, you might still have problems

setting a custom balance is probably the easiest and most reliable way, its how i do it

im kinda drunk, so i hope i dont mislead you, but if you keep ur balance the same, lots wont change, therefor the math works
