Reversing Open Positions Across All Symbols in MetaTrader

Summary

This document describes a MetaTrader script that reverses every currently open trade across all symbols. It loops through open orders, records each order’s symbol, direction, and size, closes the existing position, and submits a new order in the opposite direction for the same symbol and lot size. It also reports whether closing and reopening operations succeeded.

The script performs a mechanical direction flip; it does not describe a signal for deciding when reversal is appropriate or how to manage risk afterward. Because each position is closed and reopened as separate orders, execution conditions and costs may affect the resulting exposure. The document recommends trying the script in a demo account before live use, but supplies no backtest, safeguards, or performance evidence. Its usefulness is therefore operational and limited to traders seeking a platform-wide position reversal.

Key ideas

• The script visits open trades across symbols and reverses each trade’s direction.
• It closes the existing order before sending an opposite order with the same symbol and size.
• The script reports the outcome of its order operations.
• It contains no market signal or risk-management method for deciding whether a reversal is suitable.
• The document recommends demo testing and provides no evidence of profitability.
