How do i get Deposits and/or Profits

New comment
 
Hi! so I've read some posts that make something like this
for (int i= 0; i < OrdersHistoryTotal(); i++) {
   if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY) && OrderType() == 6) {
      deposits += OrderProfit();
   }
}

But for my case, history only retrieves last month history, not all

Is there a way to just return deposits or profits for the account?

Like how does myfxbook show all the statistics, I know they have all the orders history, but how do I get that?

Thanks in advance.

extend your trade history by right-clicking in the "Account History" section and selecting "All History"

OrdersHistoryTotal

Returns the number of closed orders in the account history loaded into the terminal.

int  OrdersHistoryTotal();

Returned value

The number of closed orders in the account history loaded into the terminal. The history list size depends on the current settings of the "Account history" tab of the terminal.

Just do what Fernando said.

No way to get programmatically history trades with specified time period.

This is possible in MT5, where you can define start and end date, but in MT4 you have only access to part of history showing in MT4 account history tab.

Myfxbook does this because you provide you with access as an investor and select to see the entire history. In other words, the only thing you can do is to warn users about this detail.

Do you understand now why MQL5 is so much better and MQL4 is obsolete? 😅

Absolutely yes. I abandoned MQL4 years ago and once you work with MQL5 you will never want to go back to MQL4.
