Can anyone advice me on writing code that when the profit is equal to 0 close the position? I wrote it by myself but it didn't work. I want to write code that generates no losses and it is how it works: i want to enter a position in a condition and close it if my close condition is called or my positions profits are 0 because i want to generate no loss at all i don't allow my positions getting loss and rapidly close them when they are 0. i try this but it just generates continuously generates loss. #include <Trade\Trade.mqh> CTrade trade; void OnTick() { // Check if there is an open buy position bool hasOpenBuyPosition = CheckOpenBuyPosition(); double Ask = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_ASK), _Digits); // Get the current symbol price double currentPrice = SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(), SYMBOL_ASK); // Get the open price of the buy position MqlRates PriceInformation[]; ArraySetAsSeries(PriceInformation, true); double Data=CopyRates(Symbol(), Period(), 0, Bars(Symbol(), Period()), PriceInformation); if (PriceInformation[1].close < Ask) { trade.Buy(0.1); } CloseZeroProfit(); } void CloseZeroProfit() { // Iterate through all open positions for (int i = 0; i < PositionsTotal(); i--) { // Select the position by its index if (PositionSelectByTicket(PositionGetTicket(i))) { // Check the position's profitability double profit = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PROFIT); if (profit <= 0 || profit == 0) { // Close the position trade.PositionClose(PositionGetTicket(i)); } } } }

Your code closes positions when profit <=0 .. so there will always be losses (spread, commission). Where is your takeprofit for an open position? trade.Buy(0.01,_Symbol, 0, 0, ask + 20 * _Point) and change for(int i = 0; i < PositionsTotal(); i--) on this for(int i = 0; i < PositionsTotal(); i++)
