Number of positions

[Ivan]

What is wrong in this code that I am unable to get number of positions.

Anyone who knows, please help.

int NumberOfPositions()
  {
  static int N;
  ulong ticket;
  for(int a=0;a<PositionsTotal();a++)
    {
    ticket=OrderGetTicket(a);
    if(PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL)==Symbol())
    if((PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE)==POSITION_TYPE_BUY)||(PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE)==POSITION_TYPE_SELL))
    N++;
    }
return(N);
}

I use this code to get the number of deals in a position.  I believe you can make minor modifications to serve your purpose.

 

//  I use this to return the number of deals in a position.

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|   return Total Deals in current open position                    |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int PositionDeals()
{
   uint pos_total=0;
   int total=0;
   ulong pos_id=0;
   
   pos_total=PositionsTotal();
   if(pos_total > 0) {
   for(uint i=0;i<pos_total;i++)
      {
         if(PositionSelect(Symbol())) 
            {
               pos_id=(ENUM_POSITION_PROPERTY_INTEGER)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_IDENTIFIER);
               HistorySelectByPosition(pos_id);
               total=HistoryDealsTotal();
   
               return(total); 
            }
      }
   }   
   return(0);
}

You need to PositionSelect first.

This is small example which might helps you to do what you want to do.

int PosTotal=PositionsTotal();
   for(int i=0;i<PosTotal;i++)
     {
      string SymName=PositionGetSymbol(uint(i));
      printf("Symbol %s: volume %f, profit %f",
             SymName,
             PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME),
             PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PROFIT));
     }

 Please read also help topic about function PositionGetSymbol.
