how to create a function to execute only on closing any position. whether ontrade or ontradetransaction . ?

[Anshul Chouhan]

I have created some functions to run ONLY when I CLOSE any POSITION and to achieve this i am using this function.

void OnTradeTransaction(const MqlTradeTransaction& trans, const MqlTradeRequest& request, const MqlTradeResult& result)
  {
  Print("type is:", trans.type);
  if(trans.type == TRADE_TRANSACTION_ORDER_DELETE)
    {
    Print("inside type closed :",trans.deal_type);
    string content = dealInfo();
    sendRequest(content);
     }
   else
     {
      return;
     }
  }

But this function is running on all events whether i am placing a trade or modifying  deleting .
please tell me how to create a logic that executes only when any position is closed.

[Code2219 or 2319]

void OnTradeTransaction(const MqlTradeTransaction& trans, const MqlTradeRequest& request, const MqlTradeResult& result)
{
        if(trans.type != 6) return;                                        		// only interested in DEAL_ADD events.
        if(trans.symbol!=_Symbol) return;                                    		// only interested in this symbol.
        if(HistoryDealGetInteger(trans.deal,DEAL_ENTRY) != DEAL_ENTRY_OUT) return;   	// only interested in position closures
        
        // do what you do here...

}

Here's my code that will run when there's a closed position,

void CStrategy::OnTradeTransactionEvent(const MqlTradeTransaction& trans,
                                        const MqlTradeRequest&     request,
                                        const MqlTradeResult&      result) {
   
   // when closing buy position
   if(trans.type == TRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD && trans.deal_type == DEAL_TYPE_SELL 
         && HistoryDealSelect(trans.deal) && HistoryDealGetInteger(trans.deal, DEAL_ENTRY) == DEAL_ENTRY_OUT)  {
      
      // do your stuff here
   }

   // when closing sell position
   if(trans.type == TRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD && trans.deal_type == DEAL_TYPE_BUY
         && HistoryDealSelect(trans.deal) && HistoryDealGetInteger(trans.deal, DEAL_ENTRY) == DEAL_ENTRY_OUT) {
      
      // do your stuff here
   }
}

         Print("when closing both any one")
         // do your stuff here
        }

      // when closing sell position
      if(trans.type == TRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD && trans.deal_type == DEAL_TYPE_BUY
         && HistoryDealSelect(trans.deal) && HistoryDealGetInteger(trans.deal, DEAL_ENTRY) == DEAL_ENTRY_OUT)
        {
         Print("when closing only buy ")
         // do your stuff here
        }
     }
  }

used this code but no respone on closing any of position

used your code but not working  I am not getting any call to this function on closing any position.

in the sample cod/example is reference to        case 10036: return("TRADE_RETCODE_POSITION_CLOSED");     break;

I have modified this by @Vladimir Karputov

i merely changed line #84 from TRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD

I am unable to try it until next week. If you prove it working, please give report.

found this article too.

It deals with all types of deals, so should be able to remove pending orders and modify types from the code.
