I have just downloaded the new “TradingViewToMT5.ex5” version 4.001 from your website (size 133592).
Nice try but “Flip - Exit and Enter” *** STILL *** doesn’t solve the SAR strategy problem.
Here is what TradingViewToMT5.ex5 does, whatever the account, hedging or netting :
Buy 1 (+1 long - OK) then Sell 2 (-2 short - NO!), then Buy 2 (2 long - NO!), then Sell 2 (-2 short - NO!)
Instead, here is *** how TradingView works *** :
Buy 1 (+1 long) then Sell 2 (-1 short), then Buy 2 (+1 long)… then Sell 2 (-1 short),
Please fix this bug and use the original data coming from TradingView, no quantity modification :
//@version=6
strategy("stop and reverse", "sar", true, pyramiding=1, default_qty_value= 1, close_entries_rule="ANY")
if barstate.islast and barstate.isconfirmed
buySignal= minute(time) % 2 == 0
sellSignal= not buySignal
if strategy.position_size <= 0 and buySignal
strategy.entry("buy", strategy.long)
else
if strategy.position_size >= 0 and sellSignal
strategy.entry("sell", strategy.short)
{{strategy.order.action}} {{ticker}} Q={{strategy.order.contracts}}
Thank you.
The MQL5 solution to solve this problem is the following :
Example of the TRADE_ACTION_CLOSE_BY trade operation for closing positions by opposite positions:
#define EXPERT_MAGIC 123456 // MagicNumber of the expert
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Close all positions by opposite positions |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnStart()
{
//--- declare and initialize the trade request and result of trade request
MqlTradeRequest request;
MqlTradeResult result;
int total=PositionsTotal(); // number of open positions
//--- iterate over all open positions
for(int i=total-1; i>=0; i--)
{
//--- parameters of the order
ulong position_ticket=PositionGetTicket(i); // ticket of the position
string position_symbol=PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL); // symbol
int digits=(int)SymbolInfoInteger(position_symbol,SYMBOL_DIGITS); // ticket of the position
ulong magic=PositionGetInteger(POSITION_MAGIC); // MagicNumber of the position
double volume=PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME); // volume of the position
double sl=PositionGetDouble(POSITION_SL); // Stop Loss of the position
double tp=PositionGetDouble(POSITION_TP); // Take Profit of the position
ENUM_POSITION_TYPE type=(ENUM_POSITION_TYPE)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE); // type of the position
//--- output information about the position
PrintFormat("#%I64u %s %s %.2f %s sl: %s tp: %s [%I64d]",
position_ticket,
position_symbol,
EnumToString(type),
volume,
DoubleToString(PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN),digits),
DoubleToString(sl,digits),
DoubleToString(tp,digits),
magic);
//--- if the MagicNumber matches
if(magic==EXPERT_MAGIC)
{
for(int j=0; j<i; j++)
{
string symbol=PositionGetSymbol(j); // symbol of the opposite position
//--- if the symbols of the opposite and initial positions match
if(symbol==position_symbol && PositionGetInteger(POSITION_MAGIC)==EXPERT_MAGIC)
{
//--- set the type of the opposite position
ENUM_POSITION_TYPE type_by=(ENUM_POSITION_TYPE)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE);
//--- leave, if the types of the initial and opposite positions match
if(type==type_by)
continue;
//--- zeroing the request and result values
ZeroMemory(request);
ZeroMemory(result);
//--- setting the operation parameters
request.action=TRADE_ACTION_CLOSE_BY; // type of trade operation
request.position=position_ticket; // ticket of the position
request.position_by=PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TICKET); // ticket of the opposite position
//request.symbol =position_symbol;
request.magic=EXPERT_MAGIC; // MagicNumber of the position
//--- output information about the closure by opposite position
PrintFormat("Close #%I64d %s %s by #%I64d",position_ticket,position_symbol,EnumToString(type),request.position_by);
//--- send the request
if(!OrderSend(request,result))
PrintFormat("OrderSend error %d",GetLastError()); // if unable to send the request, output the error code
//--- information about the operation
PrintFormat("retcode=%u deal=%I64u order=%I64u",result.retcode,result.deal,result.order);
}
}
}
}
}
