What is the fastest way to close all positions?

New comment
 

MT5's 'Bulk Operations => Close All Positions' is much quicker compared to closing positions individually using a 'PositionsTotal()' loop.

Is there another way to close all positions as fast as possible?

How To Implement Bulk Operations?

"Buik operations" are not available via MQL code. You can recreate an equivalente procedure using a loop and asynchronous mode.

Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it. I have created a sample code with Async-mode.
I am amazed that it is much faster than before.

Here is the sample script I used for testing.

#include <Trade/Trade.mqh>

void OnStart()
{
    ulong st = GetMicrosecondCount();

    CTrade sTrade;
    sTrade.SetAsyncMode(true);      // true:Async, false:Sync

    for(int cnt = PositionsTotal()-1; cnt >= 0 && !IsStopped(); cnt-- )
    {
        if(PositionGetTicket(cnt))
        {
            sTrade.PositionClose(PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TICKET),100);
            uint code = sTrade.ResultRetcode();
            Print(IntegerToString(code));
        }
    }
        
    for(int i=0; i<100; i++)
    {
        Print(IntegerToString(GetMicrosecondCount()-st) +"micro "+ IntegerToString(PositionsTotal()));
        if(PositionsTotal()<=0){ break; }
            Sleep(100);
    }
}

Please note that re-quotes may occur, so you may need to retry or take other measures.


Thanks
