Yes.
 

Suggestion for class CGraphic.mqh.

In order to be able to delete a chart object, the GraphPlot methods need to be changed:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Create graphic of one curve and return resource name             |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
string GraphPlot(const double &y[],ENUM_CURVE_TYPE type=CURVE_POINTS)
  {
   string   name="Graphic"+(string)(GetTickCount()+MathRand());
   ulong    width = ChartGetInteger(0,CHART_WIDTH_IN_PIXELS);
   ulong    height= ChartGetInteger(0,CHART_HEIGHT_IN_PIXELS);
   CGraphic graphic;
//--- create graphic and add curves
   graphic.Create(0,name,0,65,45,(int)(0.6*width),(int)(0.65*height));
   graphic.CurveAdd(y,type);
//--- plot curves
   graphic.CurvePlotAll();
   graphic.Update();
//--- return resource name
   //return graphic.ResourceName();
   return graphic.ChartObjectName();
  }

For example right now there is an object named "Graphic27489614" on the chart, graphic.ResourceName() method returns "::Graphic2748961427502758" and graphic.ChartObjectName() method returns "Graphic27489614". And if you make a change, you can call ObjectDelete with the object name and delete the chart object.

In order to be able to delete a chart object, the GraphPlot methods need to be changed:

For example right now there is an object named "Graphic27489614" on the chart, graphic.ResourceName() method returns "::Graphic2748961427502758" and graphic.ChartObjectName() method returns "Graphic27489614". And if you make a change, you can call ObjectDelete with the object name and delete the chart object.

But this possibility already exists. By callingCGraphic::ChartObjectName() method, we get the name of object to be deleted.

P.S. Or evenCGraphic::Destroy() method.

 
Vladimir Karputov:

Proposal for class CGraphic.mqh.

This was done for ResourceSave.
 
Anatoli Kazharski:

This feature is already available. Just by callingCGraphic::ChartObjectName() method, we get the name of object to be deleted.

P.S. Or evenCGraphic::Destroy() method.

No. Both methods don't work (CGraphic::ChartObjectName() returns "NULL"), CGraphic::Destroy() is not for destroying chart at all.
 
Vladimir Karputov:

Both work for me. Test this script and show me your version. I wonder why it didn't work for you.

You can test two methods in the script.

In general removal for the time being I'm doing this:

      ObjectsDeleteAll(0,"Graphic",0,OBJ_BITMAP_LABEL);
      ChartRedraw();
 

How do I know if SL/TP is triggered in OnTradeTransaction()?

Here's what I've done, doesn't help:

void  OnTradeTransaction (const MqlTradeTransaction &trans,   // структура торговой транзакции
                          const MqlTradeRequest     &request, // структура запроса
                          const MqlTradeResult      &result)  // структура ответа
{
  if(trans.type == TRADE_TRANSACTION_HISTORY_ADD)
  {
    datetime date = TimeCurrent ();
    MqlDateTime dateT;
    TimeToStruct (date, dateT);
    dateT.hour += 1;
    date = StructToTime (dateT);
    
    if(HistorySelect (TimeCurrent (), date))
    {
      int dealsTotal = HistoryDealsTotal ();
      ulong ticketD = HistoryDealGetTicket (dealsTotal - 1);
      if(HistoryDealGetString (ticketD, DEAL_SYMBOL) == Symbol ())
      {
        ENUM_DEAL_ENTRY entry = (ENUM_DEAL_ENTRY)HistoryDealGetInteger (ticketD, DEAL_ENTRY);
        if(entry == DEAL_ENTRY_OUT)
        {
          int ordersTotal = HistoryOrdersTotal ();
          ulong ticketO = HistoryOrderGetTicket (ordersTotal - 1);
          if(HistoryOrderGetString (ticketO, ORDER_SYMBOL) == Symbol ())
          {
            double orderPrice = HistoryOrderGetDouble (ticketO, ORDER_PRICE_OPEN);
            double orderSL    = HistoryOrderGetDouble (ticketO, ORDER_SL);
            double orderTP    = HistoryOrderGetDouble (ticketO, ORDER_TP);
            
            if(orderPrice == orderSL)
              Print ("Сработал SL");
            
            if(orderPrice == orderTP)
              Print ("Сработал TP");
          }  
        }
      }  
    }
  }
}

And anyway, can't there be any simpler way!

Here, the event is shown in the terminal logs, why is it so easy to get this event (SL/TP triggering) in the EA? Or is it possible?
