Any reason why this is closing sells?

Also @roar you are the loop master, maybe you can help me! I have the following variables:
openSells: current open profit/loss on sell positions
openBuys: current open profit/loss on sell positions
MaxSells: Highest value of sell profits reached
MaxBuys: Highest number of buy profits reached.

I'm trying to get the EA to do the logic:

If OpenBuys > (MaxBuys - MaxSells)
Close all BUY trades, starting with the least profitable, until OpenBuys =< (MaxBuys - MaxSells)

I managed to get similar logic working with a simple loop in another project (https://fxdreema.com/shared/a3cD1cAjb) but when I use it in my main project it either gets stuck in the loop OR just closes everything, buys and sells

Remove the 'for each' trade' block. The 'close trades' block is a loop itself. Your structure is combining a loop unto another loop. That is probably the reason why it's not working correctly.

@l-andorrà Thanks, I tried it with a regular close block and still no luck, it just crashes the EA in the tester as it's stuck in an infinite loop.

To be honest I already have data the variables I need: When I have a X amount of loss in BUY trades and Y amount of profit hedged in SELL trades, I want to close all SELL trades, and close the equivellant amount of profit (loss) in BUY trades

EG:

Buys: -$200
Sells: +$150

Close all SELLS and equivelant value of BUYS

Result:
Buys: -$50
Sells: $0

This keeps the on-balance profit/loss the same but frees up some margin.

but I'm struggling to find a way to do this! If you can offer some ideas that would be amazing.

I know @roar made something that does a similar thing here: https://fxdreema.com/shared/ZVBBYk4M
but I can't seem to get it to work. I have these variables if that helps:

original thread where ROAR posted: https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/7555/request-suggestion-for-close-partially-group-of-trades-block?_=1685989402676 I'm going to keep playing with it but any assistance is greatly appreciated as I'm still learning!

I got it working based off of @roar 's project so thanks guys! it was a problem with caclulating the max open sells because when i did it with a fixed value it worked fine

Any way to get the final trade to close a partial to keep the math more precise as a bonus? thanks guys!

Congrats for making it work! What do you exactly mean by 'keep the math more precise'?
