close position on profit
07 Mar 2022, 22:08

Hi, to my close orders I would like to add to only close a position when profit is above zero.

must be something like (UnrealizedNetProfit > 0)

does anyone know how to enter this correctly?

 

For example:

 

            if ((Positions.Find("Short", SymbolName, TradeType.Sell)) != null & MACDline > prevMACDline)
            {
                ClosePosition(Positions.Find("Short", SymbolName, TradeType.Sell));
            }
            if ((Positions.Find("Long", SymbolName, TradeType.Buy)) != null & MACDline < prevMACDline)
            {
                ClosePosition(Positions.Find("Long", SymbolName, TradeType.Buy));
            }
        }

Hi,

The position has net profit and gross profit properties, and you can use them, ex:

            var sellPosition = Positions.Find("Short", SymbolName, TradeType.Sell);

            if (sellPosition != null && sellPosition.NetProfit > 0 && MACDline > prevMACDline)
            {
                ClosePosition(sellPosition);
            }

            var buyPosition = Positions.Find("Long", SymbolName, TradeType.Sell);

            if (buyPosition != null && buyPosition.NetProfit > 0 && MACDline < prevMACDline)
            {
                ClosePosition(buyPosition);
            }
