Reason for Last Order Closing

[JGF]

Is there a simple way of retrieving if a previously closed order closed via Take Profit or Stop Loss? At present I am retrieving price data and comparing closing price with stop loss and take profit to infer if that was the case.

thanks

I noticed something interesting. When I print out the OrderComment() output through a loop, it also provides the reason for the closing of the order (see below):

2011.06.13 21:49:57 2011.01.03 17:15 TriColor X 1.4.2.1b EURUSD,M15: 1stBuyOrder4[sl]
2011.06.13 21:49:57 2011.01.03 17:15 TriColor X 1.4.2.1b EURUSD,M15: 1stBuyOrder2[tp]
2011.06.13 21:49:57 2011.01.03 17:15 TriColor X 1.4.2.1b EURUSD,M15: 1stBuyOrder3[sl]
2011.06.13 21:49:57 2011.01.03 17:15 TriColor X 1.4.2.1b EURUSD,M15: 1stBuyOrder1[tp]

I assume that is a "normal" output. I discovered this by accident. Was trying to use OrderComment as a specific identifier and could not get it to work. So there you go.....

This is a broker related thing. You can not assume that every broker is altering the comment line.
