MQL5 ReferenceTrade FunctionsHistoryOrderGetTicket

HistoryOrderGetTicket

Return the ticket of a corresponding order in the history. Prior to calling HistoryOrderGetTicket(), first it is necessary to receive the history of deals and orders using the HistorySelect() or HistorySelectByPosition() function.

ulong  HistoryOrderGetTicket(
   int  index      // Number in the list of orders
   );

Parameters

index

[in] Number of the order in the list of orders.

Return Value

Value of the ulong type. If the function fails, 0 is returned.

Note

Do not confuse orders of a trading history with current pending orders that appear on the "Trade" tab of the "Toolbox" bar. The list of orders that were canceled or have led to a transaction, can be viewed in the "History" tab of "Toolbox" of the client terminal.

Example:

void OnStart()
  {
   datetime from=0;
   datetime to=TimeCurrent();
//--- request the entire history
   HistorySelect(from,to);
//--- variables for returning values from order properties
   ulong    ticket;
   double   open_price;
   double   initial_volume;
   datetime time_setup;
   datetime time_done;
   string   symbol;
   string   type;
   long     order_magic;
   long     positionID;
//--- number of current pending orders
   uint     total=HistoryOrdersTotal();
//--- go through orders in a loop
   for(uint i=0;i<total;i++)
     {
      //--- return order ticket by its position in the list
      if((ticket=HistoryOrderGetTicket(i))>0)
        {
         //--- return order properties
         open_price    =HistoryOrderGetDouble(ticket,ORDER_PRICE_OPEN);
         time_setup    =(datetime)HistoryOrderGetInteger(ticket,ORDER_TIME_SETUP);
         time_done     =(datetime)HistoryOrderGetInteger(ticket,ORDER_TIME_DONE);
         symbol        =HistoryOrderGetString(ticket,ORDER_SYMBOL);
         order_magic   =HistoryOrderGetInteger(ticket,ORDER_MAGIC);
         positionID    =HistoryOrderGetInteger(ticket,ORDER_POSITION_ID);
         initial_volume=HistoryOrderGetDouble(ticket,ORDER_VOLUME_INITIAL);
         type          =GetOrderType(HistoryOrderGetInteger(ticket,ORDER_TYPE));
         //--- prepare and show information about the order
         printf("#ticket %d %s %G %s at %G was set up at %s => done at %s, pos ID=%d",
                ticket,                  // order ticket
                type,                    // type
                initial_volume,          // placed volume

                TimeToString(time_done), // time of order execution or deletion

                );
