In my EA, there is need to find the exact profit generated in the last closed trade, which is usually exited by SL or take profit. How can I know if the last order exited with SL or TP and the profit generated from it?

Thanks
  

#include <stdlib.mqh>







int start(){


 
static int ClosedTrades;  


 
if(ClosedTrades==HistoryTotal()-1);
      OrderSelect(ClosedTrades,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY){
         if((OrderType()==OP_BUY)||OrderType()==OP_SELL)) {
            if(CompareDoubles(OrderClosePrice(),OrderTakeProfit())){ //Order closed by TP              
                        .
                        .
                        .
               }                                    
            if(CompareDoubles(OrderClosePrice(),OrderStopLoss())){ // Order closed by SL     
                        .
                        .
                        .
               }
        ClosedTrade=HistoryTotal();
        }    


    		                     
    }

I was under the impression that the numerical order of the MODE_HISTORY collection was not the order in which the trades were closed.
Therefore one has to find the closed trade with the biggest timestamp, can somebody at Metaquotes clarify this?

I worked my way through the above function and it seems to correctly identify the last closed order. It worked fine for me because I have only one order open at a time. But I understand that others who want to use the function for multiple simultaneous orders, this may need to be worked out more thoroughly and delicately.
