[MT5] PositionPartialClose

[Xmg92]

Hi everyone!

Is there a way to close a partially a position in a Hedge account? I've seen that MQL5 has a PositionPartialClose function (link) but i can't find it in the api.

Is there any way that i can partial close without this function? If not, is it possible to implement it?

Thanks in advance.

This function is from the CTrade Library.
Look into the library to see how the function is constructed.
Then you can rebuild it.

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Partial close specified opened position (for hedging mode only) |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
bool CTrade::PositionClosePartial(const string symbol,const double volume,const ulong deviation)
{
uint retcode=TRADE_RETCODE_REJECT;
//--- check stopped
if(IsStopped(FUNCTION))
return(false);
//--- for hedging mode only
if(!IsHedging())
return(false);
//--- clean
ClearStructures();
//--- check filling
if(!FillingCheck(symbol))
return(false);
//--- check
if(SelectPosition(symbol))
{
if((ENUM_POSITION_TYPE)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE)==POSITION_TYPE_BUY)
{
//--- prepare request for close BUY position
m_request.type =ORDER_TYPE_SELL;
m_request.price=SymbolInfoDouble(symbol,SYMBOL_BID);
}
else
{
//--- prepare request for close SELL position
m_request.type =ORDER_TYPE_BUY;
m_request.price=SymbolInfoDouble(symbol,SYMBOL_ASK);
}
}
else
{
//--- position not found
m_result.retcode=retcode;
return(false);
}
//--- check volume
double position_volume=PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME);
if(position_volume>volume)
position_volume=volume;
//--- setting request
m_request.action =TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;
m_request.symbol =symbol;
m_request.volume =position_volume;
m_request.magic =m_magic;
m_request.deviation=(deviation==ULONG_MAX) ? m_deviation : deviation;
m_request.position =PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TICKET);
//--- hedging? just send order
return(OrderSend(m_request,m_result));
}

@Xmg92 I will implement the function in next release.
