How to apply EA to one symbol only

[rpouwels94]

I have a simple EA that closes my orders at a time that I specify with inputs.

At the moment it closes ALL my orders but I'd like to update this EA to only apply to the symbol NZDCHF.

Something to note is that I trade multiple accounts that have different names for the same symbol, such as "NZDCHF.i" or "NZDCHF.raw" and I'd like to apply this EA across all accounts.

How can I implement a rule so that the EA only closes trades when the order is for a symbol containing "NZDCHF", while keeping orders for all other symbols open?

My code is attached as a file and also down below:

#include <Trade/Trade.mqh>

input int CloseTimeHour = 23;
input int CloseTimeMin = 58;

int OnInit(){

   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}

void OnDeinit(const int reason){
   
}

void OnTick(){
   MqlDateTime structTime;
   TimeCurrent(structTime);
   
   structTime.hour = CloseTimeHour;
   structTime.min = CloseTimeMin;
   
   datetime timeClose = StructToTime(structTime);

   if(TimeCurrent() > timeClose){
      CTrade trade;
      for(int i = PositionsTotal()-1; i >= 0; i--){
         ulong posTicket = PositionGetTicket(i);
         if(PositionSelectByTicket(posTicket)){
            if(trade.PositionClose(posTicket)){
               Print(__FUNCTION__," > Pos #",posTicket," was closed because of close time.");
            }
         }
      }
   }
   
   Comment("\nServer Time: ",TimeCurrent(),
           "\nClose Time: ",timeClose);   
}

When you post code please use the CODE button (Alt-S) !

NOTE: Traders and coders are working for free:

• if it is interesting for them personally, or
• if it is interesting for many members on this forum.

Freelance section of the forum should be used in most of the cases.

Thank you for the feedback @Oleksandr Medviediev. Should I move this to the Freelance section?

Yes, that's your best bet - go to https://www.mql5.com/en/job and follow the procedure.

NOTE: use of AI for coding is a waste of time at the moment.

Good luck!

You might use SymbolInfoString with SYMBOL_CURRENCY_PROFIT and SYMBOL_CURRENCY_BASE to extract base and profit currency from you symbol, then check for "NZD" and "CHF"  correspondence.

That works no matter the symbol suffix or prefix.
