Close Minus by Plus, Closing unprofitable positions by searching and closing profitable positions

About Close Minus by Plus

Closing unprofitable positions by searching for and closing profitable positions.

EA is in the process of closing its unprofitable positions by identifying and closing profitable ones.

This assistant looks for, among all positions, the most unprofitable position in the terminal.

Further, by searching for the remaining profitable positions, he calculates a series of positions that can cover the loss when the profit of one or more positions is greater than the loss of another position.

If a set of such positions is found, then the adviser closes them.

A series of positions can consist of absolutely any position.

Their maximum number is adjustable in the advisor settings.

You can also specify the minimum loss for the search and additional profit for closing.

How Close Minus by Plus works on the Chart

Suppose

1. You open a BUY #1 position at a price of 1.600 ;
2. The Price goes down to 1.550, and the current loss is -50 points;
3. Breakeven point(Average Price) = 1.600 ;
4. If we open SELL #2, Sell #3, and Sell #4;
5. Expert Advisor starts executing the main algorithm.
6. Then the total profit will be +5 $;
7. The Expert Advisor (EA) activates the algorithm, and 4 positions must be closed.

Description

Closing unprofitable positions by searching for and closing profitable positions (Close Minus by Plus)

1.  This assistant looks for, among all positions, the most unprofitable position in the terminal.
2.   Further, by searching for the remaining profitable positions, he calculates a series of positions that can cover the loss when the profit of one or more positions is greater than the loss of another position.
3.   If a set of such positions is found, then the adviser closes them.
4.   A series of positions can consist of absolutely any position.
5.  Their maximum number is adjustable in the advisor settings.
6.   You can also specify the minimum loss for the search and additional profit for Closing positions.

In the continuation of the topic of leveling positions, We want to offer you a more reliable and pleasant algorithm for overlapping loss-making positions.

Of course, everyone has the right to choose their way of getting rid of negative positions.

Our last article describing the assistance for the trader, namely the Closing on the total profit or loss, with the trailing of the profit obtained, brought quite good results.

This article describes an algorithm that was written 11 years ago (2012) but has yet to be brought to mind.

But with the presentation of our valued customers, the project has earned again.

close-by +

Foreword

To begin with, We would like to express our thanks to our regular clients. 

Expert Advisor Close Minus by Plus can Close losing positions by searching for and closing profitable positions.

This assistant looks for the most loss-making position(Deal) among all positions in the terminal MetaTrader.

Further, by searching for other positions, it calculates a series of positions (Deals) that can cover the loss and closes them by common average profit.

The series of positions(Deals) can include any position(Buy or Sell together).

The maximum number of positions can be set in the Expert Advisor settings.

Assistant Close Minus by Plus work

All the work is that we put the Expert Advisor on a separate Chart (for example, EURUSD), Install EA, and work further on your terminal.
When the strategy condition arrives – the expert advisor enters the work and begins his algorithm.

As you can see from this example, we had many open positions (a chaotic opening).

In the settings, we set up – start the calculation when the largest unprofitable position with a minus -50 ( MinLossInUnit = -50) pips ( TypeOfUnitToClose = 2), and the aggregate profit will be 20 pips more is found ( AdditionalProfitInUnit = 20)

Also, we have confirmed that it is necessary to close no more than 5 orders ( MaxPos_in_Class = 5 )

1. The expert found the position at a loss of -51 pip,
2.  as well as a series of orders with a profit of +72 pips.
3.  And closed both the unprofitable position and a series of profitable positions.

External Variables and Settings

Name	Description
TypeOfUnitToClose	Type of profit and loss. In dollars or points(Pips)
MinLossInUnit	Minimum loss of position in units ( TypeOfUnitToClose ), which is taken into account by the Expert advisor. An order with a loss in the “MinLossPoss_in_unit” units (dollars or points) must be set in the negative zone. This is important for finding loss-making positions. For example:  MinLossInUnit = -100 TypeOfUnitToClose = dollars, then the EA looks for or expects a position at a loss greater than or equal to -100 dollars,  for example, -100 dollars, -150 dollars, -200 dollars, and so on. The position with a loss of -99 dollars is already ignored.
AdditionalProfitInUnit	The number of units of profit for the difference in the closing of the set of positions. Position (one or several deals) with a total profit exceeding the loss on the ” AdditionalProfitInUnit ” units. For example:  AdditionalProfitInUnit = 10 MinLossInUnit = -100 TypeOfUnitToClose = dollars: The advisor is looking for or waiting for at least 2 positions, one of which is at a loss of -100 dollars and the second with a profit of +110 dollars. If such positions(Deals) are found, then the Expert Advisor(EA) will close these positions(Deals).
MaxPos_in_Class	The parameter “MaxPos_in_Class” should limit the number of profitable closing positions. For example:  MaxPos_in_Class = 3, then the Expert Advisor (EA) will look for a set to close from a maximum of 3 profitable positions +1 unprofitable.
FirstSymbolClose	Search for pairs of positions and close only the currency pair that we are processing. You can turn off (false) FirstSymbolClose parameter;  then, the EA will close any pair from the losing and profitable positions in the entire account, regardless of which currency pair is included in the calculation. When you turn on (true) FirstSymbolClose – the expert advisor monitors and closes a series of positions from one currency pair.
OpenHoura OpenMinutea	The start time of the Expert Advisor
CloseHoura CloseMinutea	The end time of the Expert Advisor
OrderToClose	Positions type: -1 = All Orders, 1 = Sell, 0 = Buy
MagicToClose	Magic Number of positions: -1 = any magic numbers. Or you can specify a unique magic number of its positions, which should be processed. You can specify multiple magic numbers separated by commas.  For example: 777,888,999
SymbolToClose	The currency pair for monitoring  -1 = All symbols 1 = Only the current symbol (the symbol that EA is installed) You can write a list of currency pairs separated by commas.  For example,   EURUSD, USDCHF, USDJPY

 For Expert Advisor to work with the Telegram bot, you need to set up the bot on your phone and create a "public" or "private" channel.

To receive notifications from your account, you need to assign your bot as an administrator of your "public" or "private" channel.

Attention! Sending notifications and working with commands takes computer resources! Use the Telegram bot only for your own needs.

How To set Telegram bot:

New settings for working with Telegram:

EAPadPRO2=" =============== Telegram bot ";

==input ENUM_UPDATE_MODE TG_UpdateMode=UPDATE_SLOW --> Update Mode. Timer speed, to receive commands from Telegram bot. The faster the timer runs, the more computer resources will be used! Please do not change it unnecessarily. 2sec,3sec,10sec

   TG_HOME_ONLY=1, // Only the HOME bot. The Telegram bot works only on the home computer.

   TG_VPS_ONLY=2, // Only the VPS bot. The Telegram bot works only on the MetaQuotes VPS server.

   TG_VPS_HOME=3, // First VPS bot, second HOME bot. The Telegram bot works on the MetaQuotes VPS server if you upload it to the server. If not, it will work on your home terminal. Check the work on the VPS server every 10 minutes.

   TG_HOME_VPS=4, // First HOME bot, second VPS bot. The Telegram bot works on a home computer, but if the home computer/terminal is turned off, it will work on the VPS server from MetaQuotes. Check the VPS server's work every 10 minutes.

Attention! Screenshots are not available on the VPS server from MetaQuotes!

==TG_Token="" --> Token bot. Token (unique code) of the bot that will send notifications and receive commands

the best utility I have used. Easy to set up and works great to recover losses. But if it can close a partial lot of the profit-making trade in the direction of the trend will be better. In my case, a profit-making trade of $400 was closed against a trade of $-100. There was potential to make more money. When profit is higher than loss-making trade (with profit target) you should consider closing to the extent of loss+profit target. Hope you will consider.

So far the best utility I have used. Easy to set up and works great to recover losses. It’s actually amazing to watch results. No setfiles are needed because all accounts are different. Read the instructions and practice on a demo account. Play with the settings and once you find the best settings, set it up on live account. Works great.

This is a great EA to add to every setup. Great help from the seller and it works fantastic. It will take away the worst trade with the help of your profit trades. And with the latest update it’s even better when you can see so much info about what is happening. Is it possible to give it 6 stars?
