strategy.close() - Pine Script Function

strategy.close()

Overview

Creates an order to exit from the part of a position opened by entry orders with a specific identifier. If multiple entries in the position share the same ID, the orders from this command apply to all those entries, starting from the first open trade, when its calls use that ID as the id argument.

Syntax

strategy.close(id, comment, qty, qty_percent, alert_message, immediately, disable_alert) → void

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
id	series string	The entry identifier of the open trades to close.

Remarks

• When a position consists of several open trades and the close_entries_rule in the strategy declaration statement is “FIFO” (default), a strategy.close call exits from the position starting with the first open trade. This behavior applies even if the id value is the entry ID of different open trades. However, in that case, the maximum exit order size still depends on the trades opened by orders with the id identifier. For more information, see this section of our User Manual.

Examples

Example 1

//@version=6
strategy("Partial close strategy")// Calculate a 14-bar and 28-bar moving average of `close` prices.float sma14 = ta.sma(close, 14)
float sma28 = ta.sma(close, 28)// Place a market order to enter a long position when `sma14` crosses over `sma28`.
if ta.crossover(sma14, sma28)
strategy.entry("My Long Entry ID", strategy.long)// Place a market order to close the long trade when `sma14` crosses under `sma28`.
if ta.crossunder(sma14, sma28)
strategy.close("My Long Entry ID", "50% market close", qty_percent = 50)// Plot the position size.
plot(strategy.position_size)
