[Mohamed Mostafa Mohamed Sonbol]

Hello

there are already opened positions on mt5

Then my EA  opened several positions to buy for example using trade.Buy which is instance of CTrade

and i want to modify certain position (opened with my EA) based on ticket number,

how can i get the ticket number of open positions that was opened with my EA and not other opened positions.

You need to be able to identify which positions your EA opened - usually one can set a unique magic number at the time of opening to make it easy.

Once that is known, use the Position functions - loop through the positions and select the ones you want - read all the documentation to get an idea.

The standard documentation does not seem to have examples but I wrote something similar for another query, so you can look at that to see how to construct the loop:
