How to close all trades in an MQL5 code ( script, EA )? - forex

Struggling in writing a CLOSE ALL TRADES code in MQL5 as part of my Expert Advisor.
Code or any idea about closing all trades in MQL5 will be very helpful.
As I am new to EA writing, please be little easy in writing.

Welcome to the Wild Worlds of MQL4/5
You may get inspired by this raw example, as the MQL5 has changed the way, how the Terminal / Server interaction is controlled:
#define ID_OWN_MAG_NUM 9999999 // ALWAYS: use MagicNumber of the expert, to avoid MIX
//+----------------------
//| Closing all positions, MATCHING this ID_OWN_MAG_NUM ( avoid deleting others ...
//+----------------------
void OnStart()
{ // .DEF + .INIT the trade request and result of trade request
MqlTradeRequest request;
MqlTradeResult result;
int total = PositionsTotal(); // .GET number of open positions
for ( int i = total - 1; i >= 0; i-- ) // .ITER over all open positions
{ // .GET params of the order:
ulong position_ticket = PositionGetTicket( i ); // - ticket of the position
string position_symbol = PositionGetString( POSITION_SYMBOL ); // - symbol
int digits = (int) SymbolInfoInteger( position_symbol,
SYMBOL_DIGITS
); // - number of decimal places
ulong magic = PositionGetInteger( POSITION_MAGIC ); // - MagicNumber of the position
double volume = PositionGetDouble( POSITION_VOLUME ); // - volume of the position
ENUM_POSITION_TYPE type = (ENUM_POSITION_TYPE) PositionGetInteger( POSITION_TYPE ); // - type of the position
PrintFormat( "Tkt[#%I64u] %s %s %.2f %s MagNUM[%I64d]", // .GUI: print details about the position
position_ticket,
position_symbol,
EnumToString(type),
volume,
DoubleToString( PositionGetDouble( POSITION_PRICE_OPEN ), digits ),
magic
);
if ( magic == ID_OWN_MAG_NUM ) // .IF MATCH:
{ ZeroMemory( request ); // .CLR data
ZeroMemory( result ); // .CLR data
// .SET:
request.action = TRADE_ACTION_DEAL; // - type of trade operation
request.position = position_ticket; // - ticket of the position
request.symbol = position_symbol; // - symbol
request.volume = volume; // - volume of the position
request.deviation = 5; // - allowed deviation from the price
request.magic = EXPERT_MAGIC; // - MagicNumber of the position
if ( type == POSITION_TYPE_BUY )
{ request.price = SymbolInfoDouble( position_symbol, SYMBOL_BID );
request.type = ORDER_TYPE_SELL;
}
else
{
request.price = SymbolInfoDouble( position_symbol, SYMBOL_ASK );
request.type = ORDER_TYPE_BUY;
}
PrintFormat( "WILL TRY: Close Tkt[#%I64d] %s %s", position_ticket,
position_symbol,
EnumToString( type )
);
if ( !OrderSend( request,result ) )
PrintFormat( "INF: OrderSend(Tkt[#%I64d], ... ) call ret'd error %d", position_ticket,
GetLastError()
);
PrintFormat( "INF: Tkt[#%I64d] retcode=%u deal=%I64u order=%I64u", position_ticket,
result.retcode,
result.deal,
result.order
);
}
}
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

This works for me - closes all market Buys and/or Sells positions for a symbol. Suggest test on demo netting and hedging accounts for validation and clarifications.
for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)
{
ulong ticket=PositionGetTicket(i);
trade.PositionClose(ticket);
}
or
if(abc == xyz)
{
CloseBuySellSymbol(0);
}
void CloseBuySellSymbol()
{
for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)
{
ulong ticket=PositionGetTicket(i);
trade.PositionClose(ticket);
}
}
if run in void OnTick() execution is subject to tick delay
if used in void OnChartEvent() execution is instantaneous

Simpler than that:
//positions
for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1;i>=0;i--)
{
ulong positionticket = PositionGetTicket(i);
trade.PositionClose(positionticket,-1);
Print("eliminando posición "+positionticket);
}
//orders
for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0;i--)
{
ulong orderticket = OrderGetTicket(i);
trade.OrderDelete(orderticket);
Print("eliminando operation "+orderticket);
}

Trading is done by sending orders to open positions using the OrderSend() function, as well as to place, modify or delete pending orders. Each trade order refers to the type of the requested operation.
#define EXPERT_MAGIC 123456 // MagicNumber of the expert
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

void OnStart()
{

MqlTradeRequest request;
MqlTradeResult result;
int total=PositionsTotal(); // number of open positions
//--- iterate over all open positions
for(int i=total-1; i>=0; i--)
{
//--- parameters of the order
ulong position_ticket=PositionGetTicket(i); // ticket of the position
string position_symbol=PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL); // symbol
int digits=(int)SymbolInfoInteger(position_symbol,SYMBOL_DIGITS); // number of decimal places
ulong magic=PositionGetInteger(POSITION_MAGIC); // MagicNumber of the position
double volume=PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME); // volume of the position
ENUM_POSITION_TYPE type=(ENUM_POSITION_TYPE)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE); // type of the position

position_ticket,
position_symbol,
EnumToString(type),

magic);

ZeroMemory(result);
//--- setting the operation parameters
request.action =TRADE_ACTION_DEAL; // type of trade operation
request.position =position_ticket; // ticket of the position
request.symbol =position_symbol; // symbol
request.volume =volume; // volume of the position
request.deviation=5; // allowed deviation from the price
request.magic =EXPERT_MAGIC; // MagicNumber of the position
//--- set the price and order type depending on the position type
if(type==POSITION_TYPE_BUY)
{
request.price=SymbolInfoDouble(position_symbol,SYMBOL_BID);
request.type =ORDER_TYPE_SELL;
}
else
{
request.price=SymbolInfoDouble(position_symbol,SYMBOL_ASK);
request.type =ORDER_TYPE_BUY;
}
//--- output information about the closure
PrintFormat("Close #%I64d %s %s",position_ticket,position_symbol,EnumToString(type));
//--- send the request
if(!OrderSend(request,result))
PrintFormat("OrderSend error %d",GetLastError()); // if unable to send the request, output the error code

STM32 Read event from remoteControlEvent_t and parse data. Values are wrong with passing

I have small problem with adding and reading values.
Define variables
#define ADC_BIT_MASK 0x0FFF
static TaskHandle_t remoteControlTaskHandle = NULL;
typedef enum
{
...
rcEvent_FreshADC = 0x80000000,
...
}
Code for notify task. adc12bitVal_pedal value is for example 100 and adc12bitVal_lr value for example 1000. I am shifting adc12bitVal_lr to the left that I can pass params ...
static void remoteControl_FreshADC(uint16_t adc12bitVal_pedal, uint16_t adc12bitVal_lr)
{
if(remoteControlTaskHandle != NULL)
{
xTaskNotify(remoteControlTaskHandle,
(rcEvent_FreshADC | (adc12bitVal_pedal & ADC_BIT_MASK) | (adc12bitVal_lr & ADC_BIT_MASK)<<12),
eSetValueWithOverwrite);
}
}
and then remoteControlHandleEvent which handle an event. Here I have problem with adcVal_lr which should be 1000 but is for example 52123. I need to shift 12 to the left that I get correct value. Or this is wrong?
returnCode_t remoteControlHandleEvent(remoteControlEvent_t event)
{
if(event & rcEvent_motorControlACK)
{
uint8_t ackNum = (uint8_t) ( ((event >> MOTOR_CONTROL_ACK_BIT_POS) & MOTOR_CONTROL_ACK_BIT_MASK));
printf("CONF: %u\n", (unsigned int)ackNum);
}
if(event & rcEvent_FreshADC)
{
...
// Value is 100
uint16_t adcVal_pedal = (uint16_t)(event & ADC_BIT_MASK);
// DOESN'T WORK VALUE IS 52123 instead of 1000
uint16_t adcVal_lr = (uint16_t)((event & ADC_BIT_MASK)<<12);
...
}
}
I don't understand and know why wrong value for
uint16_t adcVal_lr = (uint16_t)((event & ADC_BIT_MASK)<<12);
Thnak you for all comments and help.
You are shifting left (up) twice. To extract a value that you shifted left you need to shift right (down). You also apply the mask before shifting, when it should be after.
uint16_t adcVal_lr = (uint16_t)((event >> 12) & ADC_BIT_MASK);

CS50 pset 3: Tideman sort_pairs function

I need some assistance in understanding the logic behind this function. This is my current sort_pairs function in Tideman:
// Sort pairs in decreasing order by the strength of victory
void sort_pairs(void)
{
qsort(pairs, pair_count, sizeof(pair), compare);
return;
}
// Function for sort_pairs
int compare(const void *a, const void *b)
{
const pair *p1 = (const pair *) a;
const pair *p2 = (const pair *) b;
if (p1->winner < p2->winner)
{
return -1;
}
else if (p1->winner > p2->winner)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
This does not clear check50 and I looked online to find how to approach this problem. It seems that most functions compare the values from the preferences array instead (eg preferences[pairs[i].winner][pairs[i].loser]) . My previous functions vote, record_preferences, and add_pairs all clear check50. I have not advanced beyond sort_pairs yet.
Why can't I compare the strength of victory directly from the pairs array instead since I already have the data stored there?
You don't need to make this so complex, you can use your own sorting here. Let's try a simple insertion sort-
void sort_pairs()
{
pair temp;
for (int i = 1, j; i < pair_count; i++)
{
temp = pairs[i];
j = i - 1;
for (; j >= 0 && preferences[pairs[j].winner][pairs[j].loser] < preferences[temp.winner][temp.loser]; j--)
{
pairs[j + 1] = pairs[j];
}
pairs[j + 1] = temp;
}
}
The pair struct looks like-
typedef struct
{
int winner;
int loser;
}
pair;
Explanation:-
We go through each pair of elements inside the pairs array - starting at 1 since I'm going to compare with the previous element (j = i - 1)
Now we check all the previous elements from the current element and compare them with the key - preferences[pairs[INDEX].winner][pairs[INDEX].loser]
This is the key you should be sorting by. preferences[WINNER_ID][LOSER_ID] means the amount of people that prefer WINNER_ID over LOSER_ID.
And that's pretty much it!, it's simply a insertion sort but the key is the important part.

How to use simulation time to triger action in modules?

I want to create simulation with server and 2 nodes. Nodes have defined vector that contain times for turn on/off.(example timersOnOff = 5,10,13,25 … nod will turn on in 5th second of beginning simulation, and then will be shutdown in 10th seconds etc). How to trigger action at certain time to send msg to node to "turn on" or "turn off".?
Let's assume that these times are written in timersOnOff declared as:
std::vector<simtime_t> timersOnOff;
In initialize() add the following code:
for (int i = 0; i < timersOnOff.size(); i = i + 2) {
simtime_t timeOn = timersOnOff[i];
simtime_t timeOff = timersOnOff[i+1];
cMessage * msgOn = new cMessage("nodeOn"); // (1)
cMessage * msgOff = new cMessage("nodeOff"); // (2)
scheduleAt (timeOn, msgOn);
scheduleAt (timeOff, msgOff);
}
The above code schedules all ON and OFF events.
Then, in handleMessage() add:
if (msg->isSelfMessage()) {
if (msg->isName("nodeOn")) { // the same name as in (1)
delete msg;
// turning on the node
} else if (msg->isName("nodeOff")) { // the same name as in (2)
delete msg;
// turning off the node
}
} else {
// ...
}

Not getting decreasing gas in a C++ program

Ok, so I have this program that is suppose to simulate an "Uber" driver picking up and dropping off customers and informing him of how far he has driven and how much gas he should have felt. I basically have it all worked out but for the life of me I can't get the gas to go down it stays at a static number. I know it is probably something so simple its dumb but I can't see it.

Simple OS kernel -- screen output long string array issue

I am following the steps in: "Writing a Simple Operating System from Scratch". I got the basic kernel up and running, but got a strange error when I try to output a very long string.
The following code output all "0"s. But when I use a shorter "msg" string, then the screen prints "x".
I wonder if anybody can help me, thanks much! (I am testing it in Bochs in windows 8).
Here is the kernel.c
void start ()
{
// Create a pointer to a char , and point it to the first text cell of
// video memory (i.e. the top - left of the screen )
unsigned char *video_memory = ( unsigned char*) 0xb8000;
// At the address pointed to by video_memory , store the character 'X'
// (i.e. display 'X' in the top - left of the screen ).
// this string: the outputs are "0"s.
const char msg[] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzAbcdefghijkAbcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzA";
// this string: output are "x"s.
//const char msg[] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk";
int i = 0;
int offset = 0;
while(i<85)
{
// Test if msg points to the right memory
if(msg[i]==0)
{
video_memory[offset] = '0';
}
else
{
video_memory[offset] = 'x';
}
video_memory[offset+1] = 0x02; // Green color
i = i + 1;
offset = offset + 2;
//set_cursor(offset);
}
}
