  book profit or loss

  pr=2 mp=40 mp1=-30 floatingprofit = (((close-positionprice)*pointvalue)*countofposition)/pipsize //actual trade gains if floatingprofit>=(mp or mp1) then SELL AT close-pr stop endif floatingprofit = (((positionprice-close)*pointvalue)*countofposition)/pipsize //actual trade gains if floatingprofit>=(mp or mp1) then EXITSHORT AT close+pr stop endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  pr=2 mp=40 mp1=-30   floatingprofit = (((close-positionprice)*pointvalue)*countofposition)/pipsize //actual trade gains if floatingprofit>=(mp or mp1) then SELL AT close-pr stop endif   floatingprofit = (((positionprice-close)*pointvalue)*countofposition)/pipsize //actual trade gains if floatingprofit>=(mp or mp1) then EXITSHORT AT close+pr stop endif

  I want to close all open positions short or long

  if loss is >=30

  or profit >=40

  Just a thought … below won’t work if, for example, you are trying to exit within the bid-ask spread range (spread = 4 or more?).

  I guess you’ve tried higher values for pr?

  pr=2 SELL AT close-pr stop EXITSHORT AT close+pr stop

  1 2 3 4 5

  pr=2   SELL AT close-pr stop   EXITSHORT AT close+pr stop

  COUNTOFPOSITION can be positive or negative which will completely mess up your calculations.

  Also as GraHal says CLOSE +/- 2 will very likely be too close for a minimum order distance on most markets.

  Isn’t COUNTOFPOSITION either 0 or greater?

  When can it be negative?

  When you are short.

  @rama try below (AND increase pr > spread) … let us know if it works.

  floatingprofit = (((close-positionprice)*pointvalue)*countoflongshares)/pipsize //actual trade gains if floatingprofit>=(mp or mp1) then SELL AT close-pr stop endif floatingprofit = (((positionprice-close)*pointvalue)*countofshortshares)/pipsize //actual trade gains if floatingprofit>=(mp or mp1) then EXITSHORT AT close+pr stop endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  floatingprofit = (((close-positionprice)*pointvalue)*countoflongshares)/pipsize //actual trade gains if floatingprofit>=(mp or mp1) then SELL AT close-pr stop endif floatingprofit = (((positionprice-close)*pointvalue)*countofshortshares)/pipsize //actual trade gains if floatingprofit>=(mp or mp1) then EXITSHORT AT close+pr stop endif

  I am testing the new code, I have tried with PR =1 and MP=any value(without mp1 condition) it works well

  I am trying to add loss in the same code that is where it has problem

  I think the definition in the manual should be tweaked to make that a bit more obvious. All it says at the moment is “Counts the number of open shares or lots.”

  Can a clarification be added (eg “a buy position would should as +1 and a sell position would show as -1”)?

  *when I say manual I mean here: https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/countofposition/
