Closing MT4 Trades Sequentially by Ticket Order
Article MQL5 code base
Summary
The document describes a simple MetaTrader 4 script for closing open trades one at a time. It first sorts the trade tickets in ascending order, then attempts to close them sequentially, beginning with the lowest ticket and continuing through the list.
The script can filter which trades it acts on by magic number and symbol, allowing it to target a subset of positions. The description does not explain how it handles failed close requests, changing trade lists, broker execution constraints, or partial fills. It provides no code details or performance evidence; its value is as a brief outline of an operational trade-management procedure.
Key ideas
- The script orders open trade tickets in ascending order before acting.
- It attempts to close trades one by one in that sorted sequence.
- Magic-number and symbol filters can restrict which trades are targeted.
- The description does not specify retry behavior or handling of execution failures.
