MT5 Close All Fast

[zentex74]

MT5 has the Close All function which is fast, using "async" mode, faster than the fxdreema Close Position option.
I am sure it requires custom code.

I have seen some links, but not sure how to implement it in fxdreema. I got the error message that CTrade is unidentified but I am not sure how to resolve this since thsi si not a variable but a class.

This is a simple project I use to test.

This is the discussion on the aync mode.

Any suggestion on how to implement it in fxdreema? I am not familiar with mql4 or 5.

Thanks in advance

To get this working in FX you need to create a custom block:

I have done that here: https://fxdreema.com/shared/GVIxc5AZ. But I haven't tested it, so I don't know if it works. You will need to set the condition to activate it

This is how I created:
in the 1st section (on tick in this case)
{
startTime = GetMicrosecondCount(); // Record start time
sTrade.SetAsyncMode(true); // Enable asynchronous trade operations

CloseAllPositions();                // Call function to close all positions
PrintPerformance(startTime);        // Monitor performance

}

In the global variables section:
#include <Trade/Trade.mqh>
ulong startTime; // To store the start time for performance measurement
CTrade sTrade; // Trade object used for operations

In the custom function section:
void CloseAllPositions() {
for (int cnt = PositionsTotal() - 1; cnt >= 0 && !IsStopped(); cnt--) {
if (PositionGetTicket(cnt)) {
sTrade.PositionClose(PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TICKET), 100);
uint code = sTrade.ResultRetcode();
Print("Close result code: ", IntegerToString(code));
}
}
}

void PrintPerformance(ulong startTime) {
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
Print("Elapsed time: ", IntegerToString(GetMicrosecondCount() - startTime), " microseconds. Open positions: ", IntegerToString(PositionsTotal()));
if (PositionsTotal() <= 0) { break; }
Sleep(100);
}
}

Wow, this is great. Thanks!
I have never used custom block before.
When trying to compile, I got this message, I wonder what I did wrong.

[jstap]

I do not know, the link I put above compiles for me.

You are using on MT5?

Here is the code again

on tick section:

{
startTime = GetMicrosecondCount(); // Record start time
sTrade.SetAsyncMode(true); // Enable asynchronous trade operations

CloseAllPositions();                // Call function to close all positions
PrintPerformance(startTime);        // Monitor performance

}

In the global variables section::

#include <Trade/Trade.mqh>
ulong startTime; // To store the start time for performance measurement
CTrade sTrade; // Trade object used for operations

In the custom function section::

void CloseAllPositions() {
for (int cnt = PositionsTotal() - 1; cnt >= 0 && !IsStopped(); cnt--) {
if (PositionGetTicket(cnt)) {
sTrade.PositionClose(PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TICKET), 100);
uint code = sTrade.ResultRetcode();
Print("Close result code: ", IntegerToString(code));
}
}
}

void PrintPerformance(ulong startTime) {
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
Print("Elapsed time: ", IntegerToString(GetMicrosecondCount() - startTime), " microseconds. Open positions: ", IntegerToString(PositionsTotal()));
if (PositionsTotal() <= 0) { break; }
Sleep(100);
}
}

@jstap Yes, I am using mt5.

May I ask where the tick section is? As in the image below, I see Settings ( I assume it is the tick you mention). I can see the Global Variables and Custom functions. Sorry, I have not used Custom Block before.

[jstap]

The 1st section (under settings) it is where the action code goes, I called it on tick for this but
it depends on where the block is used.

[zentex74]

@jstap Great! I made a mistake previously, thanks a lot, it works now.

However, it doesnt move to the next step, i.e proceed with the next block. I have tested a few times and can confirm thsi is the case.
Anything I need happening around that time, I have to put it in prarellel, so this is a workaround, but it is not perfect and may not work all the time, especially if the trades must be closed first. Example is in the image below or in this priject

https://fxdreema.com/shared/ds59n1pEc

Is there a way I can ensure it moves to the next block after the custom block is executed?

[jstap]

Good point, I think you need to add ~next~ into the 1st section like this:

startTime = GetMicrosecondCount(); // Record start time
sTrade.SetAsyncMode(true); // Enable asynchronous trade operations

CloseAllPositions(); // Call function to close all positions
PrintPerformance(startTime); // Monitor performance

~next~

[zentex74]

@jstap Thanks a lot! It works

[jstap]

@zentex74 You are welcome

@jstap How to seperate close BUY/SELL position?

[jstap]

@eaforexcenter_All Do you mean in this block?

[eaforexcenter_All]

@jstap yes. how to select CLOSE ALL BUY / CLOSE ALL SELL ?

[jstap]

You will have to create 2 blocks, 1 to close buys, and 1 for sells, haven't tested but should work.
Buys:
// On tick section:
startTime = GetMicrosecondCount(); // Record start time
sTrade.SetAsyncMode(true); // Enable asynchronous trade operations

CloseBuyPositions(); // Call function to close only buy positions
PrintPerformance(startTime); // Monitor performance

// Global variables section:
#include <Trade/Trade.mqh>
ulong startTime; // To store the start time for performance measurement
CTrade sTrade; // Trade object used for operations

// Custom function section:
void CloseBuyPositions() {
for (int cnt = PositionsTotal() - 1; cnt >= 0 && !IsStopped(); cnt--) {
ulong ticket = PositionGetTicket(cnt);
if (ticket > 0) {
// Check if the position is a BUY
if (PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE) == POSITION_TYPE_BUY) {
sTrade.PositionClose(ticket, 100);
uint code = sTrade.ResultRetcode();
Print("Close BUY result code: ", IntegerToString(code));
}
}
}
}

void PrintPerformance(ulong startTime) {
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
Print("Elapsed time: ", IntegerToString(GetMicrosecondCount() - startTime),
" microseconds. Open positions: ", IntegerToString(PositionsTotal()));
if (PositionsTotal() <= 0) { break; }
Sleep(100);
}
}

Sells:
// On tick section:
startTime = GetMicrosecondCount(); // Record start time
sTrade.SetAsyncMode(true); // Enable asynchronous trade operations

CloseSellPositions(); // Call function to close only sell positions
PrintPerformance(startTime); // Monitor performance

// Global variables section:
#include <Trade/Trade.mqh>
ulong startTime; // To store the start time for performance measurement
CTrade sTrade; // Trade object used for operations

// Custom function section:
void CloseSellPositions() {
for (int cnt = PositionsTotal() - 1; cnt >= 0 && !IsStopped(); cnt--) {
ulong ticket = PositionGetTicket(cnt);
if (ticket > 0) {
// Check if the position is a SELL
if (PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE) == POSITION_TYPE_SELL) {
sTrade.PositionClose(ticket, 100);
uint code = sTrade.ResultRetcode();
Print("Close SELL result code: ", IntegerToString(code));
}
}
}
}

void PrintPerformance(ulong startTime) {
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
Print("Elapsed time: ", IntegerToString(GetMicrosecondCount() - startTime),
" microseconds. Open positions: ", IntegerToString(PositionsTotal()));
if (PositionsTotal() <= 0) { break; }
Sleep(100);
}
}

@jstap

It error when i complied.

[jstap]

Custom function is not global variables, there 1/2 way down on the right side, there are 3 sections and there all labelled on tick (for this) is the top section, custom functions is on the right, global variables is on the bottom

[fxdreemag1]

How can i set group for fast close

Thank you

[VHV-Profit-Masters]

@zentex74 Hello friend, sorry for the question, could you please share the thread of the button that closes quickly, it does work, thank you very much for your help

[toanbui8888]

@jstap
Hi. I got this error when creating 2 blocks: Close Buy and Close Sell.
Can you help me fix it? thanks

[jstap]

Not really, but you may be trying to call the same function in two blocks. If so, create a separate function with a different name and use in other block..
