  There you go (not tested):

  ONCE PerCent = 0.50 //0.50 = close half positions IF MyLongExitConditions AND LongOnMarket THEN SELL (abs(CountOfPosition) * PerCent) AT Market ELSIF MyLongExitConditions AND ShortOnMarket THEN EXITSHORT (abs(CountOfPosition) * PerCent) AT Market ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  ONCE PerCent = 0.50            //0.50 = close half positions IF MyLongExitConditions AND LongOnMarket THEN    SELL (abs(CountOfPosition) * PerCent) AT Market ELSIF MyLongExitConditions AND ShortOnMarket THEN    EXITSHORT (abs(CountOfPosition) * PerCent) AT Market ENDIF

  This is already available with PRT 11? Because on PRT 10 it wasn’t possible partial closed.

   

  Thanks

  Help for code. I need that if the price falls 0.5% from the opening price, it partially closes 0.2% of the position. Thank you.

  There you go (not tested):

  ONCE PerCent = 0.002 //0.2% = positions to close ONCE FallPerCent = 0.005 //0.5% = price drop ONCE MinLotSize = 0.5 //0.5 lots minimum ExitQuantity = abs(CountOfPosition) * PerCent RemainQuantity = max(MinLotSize,abs(CountOfPosition) - ExitQuantity) CloseQuantity = abs(CountOfPosition) - RemainQuantity IF close <= (PositionPrice * (1 - FallPerCent)) AND LongOnMarket THEN SELL CloseQuantity Contracts AT Market ELSIF close >= (PositionPrice * (1 + FallPerCent)) AND ShortOnMarket THEN EXITSHORT CloseQuantity Contracts AT Market ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  ONCE PerCent     = 0.002            //0.2% = positions to close ONCE FallPerCent = 0.005            //0.5% = price drop ONCE MinLotSize  = 0.5              //0.5  lots minimum ExitQuantity     = abs(CountOfPosition) * PerCent RemainQuantity   = max(MinLotSize,abs(CountOfPosition) - ExitQuantity) CloseQuantity    = abs(CountOfPosition) - RemainQuantity IF close <= (PositionPrice * (1 - FallPerCent)) AND LongOnMarket THEN    SELL CloseQuantity Contracts AT Market ELSIF close >= (PositionPrice * (1 + FallPerCent)) AND ShortOnMarket THEN    EXITSHORT CloseQuantity Contracts AT Market ENDIF

  I added a check to make sure the quantity left open is not < to the Minimum Lot Size required (that you can set at line 3, after checking with the broker).

  My code in the previous post was missing the word Contracts.

  You may either write lines 5-6 manually or try to replace them with:

  RemainQty = max(MinLotSize,abs(CountOfPosition) - ExitQuantity) CloseQuantity = abs(CountOfPosition) - RemainQty

  1 2	RemainQty   = max(MinLotSize,abs(CountOfPosition) - ExitQuantity) CloseQuantity    = abs(CountOfPosition) - RemainQty

  Using a different name.

  This with partial close is interesting.

  If you want to close 50% of the position when you have 20 points plus.

  What does that code look like?

  Long, (1+fallpercent).

  Short, (1-fallpercent).

   

  You can change “ONCE percent” and “ONCE fallpercent” to others %.

  There you go:

  ONCE PerCent = 0.5 //50% = positions to close ONCE Pips = 20 * PipSize ONCE MinLotSize = 0.5 //0.5 lots minimum ExitQuantity = abs(CountOfPosition) * PerCent RemainQty = max(MinLotSize,abs(CountOfPosition) - ExitQuantity) CloseQuantity = abs(CountOfPosition) - RemainQty IF close >= (PositionPrice + Pips) AND LongOnMarket THEN SELL CloseQuantity Contracts AT Market ELSIF close <= (PositionPrice - Pips) AND ShortOnMarket THEN EXITSHORT CloseQuantity Contracts AT Market ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  ONCE PerCent     = 0.5              //50%  = positions to close ONCE Pips        = 20 * PipSize ONCE MinLotSize  = 0.5              //0.5  lots minimum ExitQuantity     = abs(CountOfPosition) * PerCent RemainQty        = max(MinLotSize,abs(CountOfPosition) - ExitQuantity) CloseQuantity    = abs(CountOfPosition) - RemainQty IF close >= (PositionPrice + Pips) AND LongOnMarket THEN    SELL CloseQuantity Contracts AT Market ELSIF close <= (PositionPrice - Pips) AND ShortOnMarket THEN    EXITSHORT CloseQuantity Contracts AT Market ENDIF

  I’m probably pretty stupid.

  Is there an opportunity to explain in a simpler way how I do with “RemainQty”.

  Gets error no matter what I do!
