Active positions calculator with net volume size

Reference to the thread http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...43#post5231643 , kindly if anyone can help on this let me know.
It is very useful technique if we have it in MT4. Check latest replis for me please.

In addition, sound or alarm for any position opened or closed or any order executed, is really important to have it.


I will be very thankful for anyone can help me to optimize MT4 and having this script or indicator.

Here is my main questions posted in that thread, please help.

Dear Friendly Programmers :

Long time ago, I try to find a way to count my open order including hedged positions to know where I am when I have a big no. of open positions.

I want the script or indicator shows on the chart the following :

1. No .of Opened Sell Positions with total Sell average price and average size for each currency.
2. No. of Opened Buy Positions with total Buy average price and average size for
each currency.
3. The current status for each currency : Am I buyer or seller at the current time : What the size if I am buyer and what the size if I am seller .

For an example of this I need the same information for that as it is given in the FXCM platform.

Additionally, I need to set permanent alarm when any order is opened or closed anytime . Same as you can see in FXCM platform.

Theses requests shall be working in MT4 and in Windows 7 also.

Please help me on this and I will pay for that also.


Thank you,

This may do most of what you want without the averages. It was adapted from the standard MT4 iExposure indi

Regards, Paul.

I found the attached similar indicator with me. This include the average price for long and short positions. I am wondering how I have it !!
I hope somebody to combine both together with adding details for the Deals to show how many orders for long and how many orders for short in addition, instead of The total Deal for each currency or adding the detail and keeping the total postion exist ??

Thank you Paul.

Then we can go for the second and easiest part of my request which is alarms for each of opening any position, closing any position or pending orders activation with different sound facilty ??

Thank you for all.

Thank you .
If you can put the average price in the main graph shows a straight line the better.
Buy and sell separately the two straight lines.

you can also modify the script. With this script you can see not only the total orders, but seperately the total buy orders and total sell orders. You can check the position size. I found the script. But I don't know how to save it. Do I just put this in notepad, save as .ex4 file? Or do I save as .mq4 file? which one?
And then, do I copy/paste this file into c:\program files\MT4\experts folder?

This is the script:

Introduction
It is useful to discover how many orders our EA has open and what type these open orders are, such as a buy or sell. It is thus useful to create a order counting function that can count the current number of open orders based on the order type.

MT4 Snippet
int OrdersTotalMagicOpen() {
int OrderCount = 0;
for (int l_pos_4 = OrdersTotal() - 1; l_pos_4 >= 0; l_pos_4--) {
OrderSelect(l_pos_4, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber() != MagicNumber) continue;
if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber)
if (OrderType() == OP_SELL || OrderType() == OP_BUY) OrderCount++;
}
return (OrderCount);
}

Explanation
We have named our order counting function OrdersTotalMagicOpen(). It will return an integer value of how many orders are currently opened on the specified chart symbol matching the magic number that we have passed as a function argument.

We start by declaring the OrderCount variable, the intial value of which is 0. We use the for operator to loop through the block of code, and the OrderSelect() function to examine the pool of currently open positions, checking for ones that match our order symbol and magic number.

If OrderMagicNumber() matches our MagicNumber, we can be confident that this order was placed by our EA. Note: uncertainty about EA identification would only arise if the user is running two EA's on the same currency symbol with the same magic number.

If OrderMagicNumber() does not match, we use the != sign, which means "not equals", the program can continue, that is, it discards unaffiliated trades and moves on to trades that match up.

We next see if the order matches the order types OP_BUY or (||) OP_SELL. OP_BUY is a constant that indicates a buy market order. To count other types, simply replace OP_BUY or OP_SELL with the appropriate order type constant.

If the order matches both our magic number and chart symbol and order type, the value of the OrderCount will be incremented by one. After we have looped through all the orders in the order pool, we return the value of OrderCount to the calling function.

MT4 Usage
if (OrdersTotalMagicOpen() > 0 && CloseOrders == true){ // Close all orders }

If there are orders opened by this EA, and the value of CloseOrders is true, then the code inside the braces will run, which will close all the open orders.

Counting only Buy or Sell Orders
Sometimes it is necessary to just count the open buy orders or open sell orders, in which case we would have to split out the above function into two.

Counting Buy Orders
int BuyTotalMagicOpen() {
int OrderCount = 0;
for (int l_pos_4 = OrdersTotal() - 1; l_pos_4 >= 0; l_pos_4--) {
OrderSelect(l_pos_4, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber() != MagicNumber) continue;
if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber)
if (OrderType() == OP_BUY) OrderCount++;
}
return (OrderCount);
}

Counting Sell Orders
int SellTotalMagicOpen() {
int OrderCount = 0;
for (int l_pos_4 = OrdersTotal() - 1; l_pos_4 >= 0; l_pos_4--) {
OrderSelect(l_pos_4, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol() || OrderMagicNumber() != MagicNumber) continue;
if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber)
if (OrderType() == OP_SELL) OrderCount++;
}
return (OrderCount);
}

You can see that the above two pieces of code are almost identical to what we had before, except that we have replaced the condition that checks for the order type being a OP_BUY or (||) OP_SELL with the the condition that checks for just the one type.

It is pretty easy to create a order counting function for every order type, replacing the constant OP_BUY for OP_BUYLIMIT or OP_BUYSTOP, for instance, and renaming the functions to differentiate the order types.

iGroupExposure had errors for me so I edited it and it works GR8

Changed name to GroupiExposure

Per symbol buys & buy profit / sells & sell profit.

ALSO

Total of ALL buys & sells for all symbols & TOTAL P/L for all symbols

Just what I was looking for sooo THANK YOU to coders !!

@fitter44,

Thanks for your precious effort for this indicator. It is a great tool for me. However, can I ask you to (or other genius coders) to develop it the input menu a bit more like adding font/text size options and laying over the main chart.

Actually what I extremely need is that to make this indicator visible/invisible by setting a shortcut key over the price chart. (just like the "money_manager_graphic_tool" indicator).

I do enter many hedge trades and do not like crowded screens. Thanks again!

Also, showing total swap paid/gained per currency would be like heaven!

Thanks again!

Hi Trade Chef and all other traders.

Thanks for your kind words!

I can offer a smaller text version of the indicator. It is simply called LOGS but comes up in window named "GroupiExposure".
It has the same height but less width (good if you want two charts on monitor).
Your requests for Invisible and swap are out of my knowledge
