Sep 7 at 2:35 comment added Junyu Cao Great, it's now proved! And I think you should mention the proposition: "If S is a non-empty convex compact set which does not contain the origin, then the convex conical hull of S is a closed set." Since it is non-trivial for someone who first meets this.
Sep 7 at 2:18 comment added Skywalker You are right. But in our case the counter example will not happen. I have provide the detail of my proof.

Sep 6 at 22:32 comment added Junyu Cao add a counter-example here, which shows that the convex hull of a closed cone (in your definition) is not closed. math.stackexchange.com/questions/2791730/…, you can check it

Sep 6 at 21:45 comment added Skywalker It is easy to prove that the convex hull of a closed cone(not just a closed set) is closed. You can try it by yourself. And my definition of cone is that if x is in C, then for a>0, ax is also in C. I don't require it to be convex. So it should be fine that the set of simple forms is a cone.
Sep 6 at 20:57 comment added Junyu Cao And just a small typo: the set of simple strongly positive forms is a closed set (shown in your answer), but NOT a cone (since the sum of two simple strongly positive forms is not necessarily simple).
Sep 6 at 20:49 comment added Junyu Cao The use of Plücker's embedding here is great. However, the convex hull of a closed set is not always closed, as pointed in math.stackexchange.com/questions/340324/…. So I think the proof is not finished yet.
