For those whove read it im trying to use the Trade.mqh include file.
In the Trade.mqh theres a segment for closing a position "CTrade::Close"
Ive been trying to use it but its not working. Heres my attempt
{
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|Close Timer |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Print("OnTimer Initiated");
do Sleep(100); while(PositionSelect(_Symbol) == false);
Trade.Close(_Symbol);
EventKillTimer();
}
The aim of this was to close a position "X" ammount of time after opening it.
[UPDATE]
The OnTimer part works. Here is segment of log where trade is failed :
