Thank you.
Take a look at your brackets, for instance the one after the second forloop.. it's not there.

Why did you post your MT4 question in the
Root /
MT5 General section
instead of the
MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)

In the presence of multiple orders (one EA multiple charts, multiple EAs, manual trading,) while you are waiting for the current operation (closing, deleting, modifying) to complete, any number of other operations on other orders could have concurrently happened and changed the position indexing:-
For non-FIFO (US brokers,) (or the EA only opens one order per symbol,) you
can simply count down in a position loop, and you won't miss
orders. Get in the habit of always counting down.
Loops and Closing or Deleting Orders - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4 - MQL4 programming forum
For FIFO (US brokers,) and you (potentially) process multiple orders per symbol, you must count up and on a successful operation, reprocess all positions (set index to -1 before continuing.) -
and check OrderSelect in case earlier positions were deleted.

Common Errors in MQL4 Programs and How to Avoid Them - MQL4 Articles - and if you (potentially) process multiple orders, must call RefreshRates() after server calls if you want to use the Predefined Variables (Bid/Ask) or OrderClosePrice() instead, on the next order/server call.

for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0;i--) bool res=OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES); if(OrderProfit()>0)
- This assumes that you have only one trade. Do you want to close only profitable trades or all trades when the sum is in profit?
- Profit/loss = OrderProfit + commissions + swap
- Using OrdersTotal directly and/or no Magic number filtering on your
OrderSelect loop means your code is incompatible with every EA (including itself on other charts and manual
trading.)
