history_orders_get

Get orders from trading history with the ability to filter by ticket or position. There are three call options.

Call specifying a time interval. Return all orders falling within the specified interval.

history_orders_get(
   date_from,                // date the orders are requested from
   date_to,                  // date, up to which the orders are requested
   group="GROUP"        // filter for selecting orders by symbols
   )

Call specifying the order ticket. Return an order with the specified ticket.

history_orders_get(
ticket=TICKET // order ticket
)

Call specifying the position ticket. Return all orders with a position ticket specified in the ORDER_POSITION_ID property.

history_orders_get(
position=POSITION // position ticket
)

Parameters

date_from

[in] Date the orders are requested from. Set by the 'datetime' object or as a number of seconds elapsed since 1970.01.01. Required unnamed parameter is specified first.

date_to

[in] Date, up to which the orders are requested. Set by the 'datetime' object or as a number of seconds elapsed since 1970.01.01. Required unnamed parameter is specified second.

group="GROUP"

[in] The filter for arranging a group of necessary symbols. Optional named parameter. If the group is specified, the function returns only orders meeting a specified criteria for a symbol name.

ticket=TICKET

[in] Order ticket that should be received. Optional parameter. If not specified, the filter is not applied.

position=POSITION

[in] Ticket of a position (stored in ORDER_POSITION_ID) all orders should be received for. Optional parameter. If not specified, the filter is not applied.

Return Value

Return info in the form of a named tuple structure (namedtuple). Return None in case of an error. The info on the error can be obtained using last_error().

Note

The function allows receiving all history orders within a specified period in a single call similar to the HistoryOrdersTotal and HistoryOrderSelect tandem.

The group parameter may contain several comma separated conditions. A condition can be set as a mask using '*'. The logical negation symbol '!' can be used for an exclusion. All conditions are applied sequentially, which means conditions of including to a group should be specified first followed by an exclusion condition. For example, group="*, !EUR" means that deals for all symbols should be selected first and the ones containing "EUR" in symbol names should be excluded afterwards.

Example:

from datetime import datetime
import MetaTrader5 as mt5
import pandas as pd
pd.set_option('display.max_columns', 500) # number of columns to be displayed
pd.set_option('display.width', 1500)      # max table width to display
# display data on the MetaTrader 5 package
print("MetaTrader5 package author: ",mt5.__author__)
print("MetaTrader5 package version: ",mt5.__version__)
print()
# establish connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
if not mt5.initialize():
    print("initialize() failed, error code =",mt5.last_error())
    quit()

# get the number of orders in history
from_date=datetime(2020,1,1)
to_date=datetime.now()
history_orders=mt5.history_orders_get(from_date, to_date, group="*GBP*")
if history_orders==None:
    print("No history orders with group=\"*GBP*\", error code={}".format(mt5.last_error()))
elif len(history_orders)>0:
    print("history_orders_get({}, {}, group=\"*GBP*\")={}".format(from_date,to_date,len(history_orders)))
print()

# display all historical orders by a position ticket
position_id=530218319
position_history_orders=mt5.history_orders_get(position=position_id)
if position_history_orders==None:
    print("No orders with position #{}".format(position_id))
    print("error code =",mt5.last_error())
elif len(position_history_orders)>0:
    print("Total history orders on position #{}: {}".format(position_id,len(position_history_orders)))
    # display all historical orders having a specified position ticket
    for position_order in position_history_orders:
        print(position_order)
    print()
    # display these orders as a table using pandas.DataFrame
    df=pd.DataFrame(list(position_history_orders),columns=position_history_orders[0]._asdict().keys())
    df.drop(['time_expiration','type_time','state','position_by_id','reason','volume_current','price_stoplimit','sl','tp'], axis=1, inplace=True)
    df['time_setup'] = pd.to_datetime(df['time_setup'], unit='s')
    df['time_done'] = pd.to_datetime(df['time_done'], unit='s')
    print(df)

# shut down connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
mt5.shutdown()
