Positions Count

[Rafik]

Hello all,

I am trying to get positions count of the symbol AUDNZD on my account (positions opened by another EA)

I tried 2 methods separately, and both are not working.
1st method: does not execute the Alert message.
2nd method: always gives No Alert message although there are AUDNZD positions open on the account.
(even when I do not specify AUDNZD in the blocks, it always gives me No Alert message).

Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

1. You can make groups for your trades, then filler trades out of that groups. which may catch that AUDNZD Trades.
2. You can follow method 01 with "Check Position Count" block's "Filer by symbol" option.

Thanks for your kind reply!
1- Another EA creates these positions, so, I cannot assign them to groups.
2- I tried this out but, unfortunately, it does not seem to work.

there should be a logical method bro, but right now my knowledge is not enough to answer this question. it would be better to repost this question.

Set group number to "all (automated and manual)".

Then it skips the magic number of other EA

You might be able to get this ea's magic by hovering your mouse over a trade it has placed, then loop through running trades and check by magic.
