💬 Just the essentials

  • What it is. Close all long positions for symbol (convenience alias).
  • Why you need it. Simpler syntax than closeAll(symbol, true).
  • Use case. Exit all BUY positions quickly.

🔗 Usage Examples

1) Close all BUY for symbol

String symbol = "EURUSD";

int closed = sugar.closeAllBuy(symbol);

System.out.printf("✅ Closed %d BUY positions for %s%n", closed, symbol);

2) Close all BUY positions (all symbols)

int closed = sugar.closeAllBuy(null);

System.out.printf("✅ Closed %d BUY positions across all symbols%n", closed);

3) Report before closing

String symbol = "GBPUSD";

// Get BUY positions count
Mt5TermApiAccountHelper.OpenedOrdersData opened = service.openedOrders(
    Mt5TermApiAccountHelper.BMT5_ENUM_OPENED_ORDER_SORT_TYPE.BMT5_OPENED_ORDER_SORT_BY_OPEN_TIME_ASC
);

int buyCount = (int) opened.getPositionInfosList().stream()
    .filter(p -> p.getSymbol().equals(symbol))
    .filter(p -> p.getType() == Mt5TermApiAccountHelper.BMT5_ENUM_POSITION_TYPE.BMT5_POSITION_TYPE_BUY)
    .count();

System.out.printf("Closing %d BUY positions for %s...%n", buyCount, symbol);

int closed = sugar.closeAllBuy(symbol);

System.out.printf("✅ Successfully closed: %d%n", closed);

📌 Important Notes

  • Equivalent to: closeAll(symbol, true)
  • Filters: Only BUY positions, SELL positions ignored
  • Symbol: Pass null to close all BUY positions across all symbols
