Is it possible for EA to close all orders?

New comment
 

This works in scripts but not in EA.

      Comment( Commentary + " | Closing All Orders, please wait ..." );

      CloseAll( "None", 0, OP_ALL ,MaxRetry, Slippage, Commentary );

      Comment("");

 

When compiling EA it gives error 'OP_ALL' variable not defined.  I just started learning mql4, any help is appreciated.

 

What are you trying to do?


Thank you.

 
the EA i'm trying to make opens a number of trades, either long or short, but not both at the same time. At some point set of conditions occurs when I want all of the positions to be closed.
 

I believe your EA must select each order individually using the OrderSelect() function in order to close it's orders individually and in order. There might be a way of selecting the group of orders to close them all at once, but I

am not familiar with that practice.

Are you familiar with the OrderSelect() function?

Thank you.

 

NOT without coding it....

Where is your function  CloseAll()  coming from ?  include file ?  in your mq4 file ?    can you show it please . . .   OP_ALL is probably a constant,  have you defined it ?

Here it is in the script that does it.
  
void start()
{
         int      MaxRetry = 10;     // If the Order Fails - How many time do we retry?
         int      Slippage = 10;  
      string    Commentary = "Close ALL orders";
      
      Comment( Commentary + " | Closing All Orders, please wait ..." );                 
      CloseAll( "None", 0, OP_ALL ,MaxRetry, Slippage, Commentary );
      Comment("");
      return;
}

CloseAll( "None", 0, OP_ALL ,MaxRetry, Slippage, Commentary );  ?????? 

. 'OP_ALL' - variable not defined C:\.....

For the way how to do close and delete all see https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/139654 

I told you before....   looks like you didn't learn yourself nothing go read again and try something

 

Good that you just learn mql4 :) 

You need an mql4 function to close position which is OrderClose() (https://docs.mql4.com/trading/OrderClose), however OrderClose() need to be selected first by OrderSelect() (https://docs.mql4.com/trading/OrderSelect)

Can you please show the script where this code works ?
