💬 Just the essentials

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

🔗 Usage Examples

1) Close all SELL for symbol

String symbol = "EURUSD";

int closed = sugar.closeAllSell(symbol);

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

2) Close all SELL positions (all symbols)

int closed = sugar.closeAllSell(null);

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

3) Report before closing

String symbol = "USDJPY";

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

int sellCount = (int) opened.getPositionInfosList().stream()
    .filter(p -> p.getSymbol().equals(symbol))
    .filter(p -> p.getType() == Mt5TermApiAccountHelper.BMT5_ENUM_POSITION_TYPE.BMT5_POSITION_TYPE_SELL)
    .count();

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

int closed = sugar.closeAllSell(symbol);

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

📌 Important Notes

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