Opposite trade – EA MetaTrader 5

Opening a position opposite to the closed one, with the same volume. It works for any symbol and any magic number.

For example, we have an open AUDUSD BUY 0.01 position. Once this position is closed (e.g. we close it manually) the Opposite trade Expert Advisor will immediately open a new AUDUSD positions, this now a SELL position.

The entire code is contained in the OnTradeTransaction function:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| TradeTransaction function                                        |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnTradeTransaction(const MqlTradeTransaction &trans,
                        const MqlTradeRequest &request,
                        const MqlTradeResult &result)
  {
//--- get transaction type as enumeration value 
   ENUM_TRADE_TRANSACTION_TYPE type=trans.type;
//--- if transaction is result of addition of the transaction in history
   if(type==TRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD)
     {
      long     deal_type         =-1;
      long     deal_entry        =-1;
      double   deal_volume       =0.0;
      string   deal_symbol       ="";
      if(HistoryDealSelect(trans.deal))
        {
         deal_type         =HistoryDealGetInteger(trans.deal,DEAL_TYPE);
         deal_entry        =HistoryDealGetInteger(trans.deal,DEAL_ENTRY);
         deal_volume       =HistoryDealGetDouble(trans.deal,DEAL_VOLUME);
         deal_symbol       =HistoryDealGetString(trans.deal,DEAL_SYMBOL);
        }
      else
         return;
      if(deal_entry==DEAL_ENTRY_OUT)
        {
         switch((int)deal_type)
           {
            case  DEAL_TYPE_BUY:
               m_trade.Buy(deal_volume,deal_symbol);
               break;
            case  DEAL_TYPE_SELL:
               m_trade.Sell(deal_volume,deal_symbol);
               break;
            default:
               break;
           }
        }
     }
  }

Here we wait for the position closing deal (DEAL_ENTRY_OUT). Once this deal appears, we check the deal position (if we close a BUY, this will be a Sell deal, and vice versa) and we open a new position.
