Dears,

any idea how to count 'amount of opened positions' selectively for Short and Long side of the same market?
Please check part of the strat which should do the thing, but it is not working properly.

Appreciate your feed back,
Antony

Hi,

The way you implemented your idea is correct: Using position viewer and "Position is long" variable will help you to look for any open position and identify whether it is long or short.
But as far as understood this strategy is made to wok on real time run isn't ? Your initial goal is to let the strategy manage the TP entry ?

Alright,

I get back to you as the way to implement your idea was not that simple:
Basically, we should implement a counter in a cycle that will count any open position per side. I do agree that the method is quite complex but I'm here to answer any question related to the way it is implemented.

Let me know your thoughts ...

Cheers

Looks good, just need to compare Nb_short_positions versus Nb_long_position. Will try to implement and let you know. Appreciate your attention, Antony

Alright, sorting positions by Short / Long is working well. Thanks for that!
I am trying in the same way to implement sorting by inProfit / notInProfit, using 'PositionProfit in USD' but no success.

Thus the question is: am I on the right track?

Hi,

Could you please send what you've made so far ?
Are you trying to count positions with positive P&L Vs begatives ones ? If so, then simply replace the variables of the IF block having "Position is Long" with P&L in USD (>0 and <0) that's it.

Cheers

Hi, I am using this block chain to Set TakeProfits to all open positions. It is based on what we have discussed previously. So variables Nb_Short/Long_Positions are taken from 'PositionCounter' as you suggested. And it is working well.

But, in case I want to add TakeProfit only to positions which are in profit (POS:_AllOpenPOsitions / DBL:ProfitLoss in USD), the "IF block" freely located in attachment is not helping.

Appreciate possible help

Hi,

I had a look into your file. The way the platform works is based on blocks connected to each other, if no link is made between them then the block in question will never be considered as a condition of your strategy. Also, the start point block should be linked as well.
As I said: you need to replace the IF block dealing with Long Short position with the one identifying positive / negative P&L

Cheers

Alright, just to clarify: the chain of blocks I attached is part of the whole strategy. The point is that even this chain works well when using Long/Short selection, it is not working when using the Profit/noProfit selection.

Please send the whole strategy then and explain what is expected.
My understanding is that you want to count the number of positions in profit and the same for positions in lost isn't ??

The difference is:
- previously I needed to count long versus short positions
- now I am not counting them but need to distinguish positions in profit

Thanks!

Well,

It sounds that you need more than that
I've added 4 additional counters for each of Long / Short having Profit / Loss results.
Let me explain how this work:
Why the strategy starts with these reset to 0 ?
Because if we do not assign the variables to 0, the counters will keep increasing endlessly and the result is indeed FALSE. So every tick, the strategy reset the counters to 0 then checks the positions sides and results. It is like the system redoing the job on every price and this is the way to update data on tick basis to get the latest result.
If you have any question regarding the logic, let me know.

Cheers
