Hi!

I am trying to close the current open position if, after a while, hasn't reached the limit or stop orders. The algo has a strategy of one open position at a time. So, if I don't close the "zombie" position that is sitting and doing nothing (not making or losing money), the system is losing opportunities of opening potential winning positions.

*working with multiple stocks, so I can't write order_target(sid(24),0) or something similar

def CloseAllPositions(context,data):  

    positions = context.portfolio.positions  

    if positions:  

        print ('There are open pos.')  

        GetAmount_OpenPos(context,data)          # amount of the shares in the current position  

        amnt = GetAmount_OpenPos(context,data)  

        if amnt:  

            print ('GetAmount_OpenPos:', GetAmount_OpenPos(context,data))  

            print ('amnt:', amnt)  


            def sec_symbl(context,data):  

                for security in positions:  

                    symbl = security.symbol                  # the symbol of the security:  ( exemple: 'AAPL' )  

                    return symbl  

            stock_symbol = sec_symbl(context,data)  

            if sec_symbl(context,data):  

                print ('Closing position in', sec_symbl(context,data), 'of', amnt, 'shares')  

                order(stock_symbol, amnt)               # it doesn't work

I have also tried with order(symbol(stock_symbol), amnt)
order(sid(stock_sid), amnt) *........ stock_sid = security.sid
and many other

I have a plan B, but it's a little bit retarded: 200 times for each stock:
if security.sid = 24:
order(sid(24),amnt) ...or... order_target(sid(24),0) ...I don't know if the second one works

Any suggestions? Anything.
I will post the final function with all the details if I succeed in finding the right code for closing the current positions without any execution risk.

Thanks a lot!
