Notification of closed orders

[[Deleted]]

Hi,

Is there any way for an expert to get a notification call when an order closes due to TP or SL, or do I have to just poll all my open orders at each tick if I want to act on the close?

Many thanks,
Kevin

The latter only.

actually you can use OrderComment() command to check whether such an order closed due to TP or SL.

Hello
 
There is possible:

 1. check IN THE HISTORY the comment of SL or TP

 2. check IN THE HISTORY  if ClosePrice==TP  or  ClosePrice==SL

Here is more info:

If you're going to use the close price to determine whether the SL or TP was hit, it would be better to either compare the difference.. as in, it's a stop loss if abs( ClosePrice - StopLoss ) < abs( ClosePrice - TakeProfit ), or check whether the profit is positive or negative. (The latter assuming it's not a trailing stop!) This will account for the possibility of slippage, which would cause the close price equality test to fail.

HELLO
 
WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT COMPERING  OrderClosePrice() AND OrderOpenPrice():
 
OrderSelect(HistoryTotal(),SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY); 
{
 
if(OrderType()==OP_BUY && OrderClosePrice()  >   OrderOpenPrice() ) 
....TP...
else
....SL...
 
 
if(OrderType()==OP_SELL && OrderClosePrice()  <    OrderOpenPrice() ) 
....TP...
else
....SL...
 
 
}

That's okay if you know that the stop losses always lose money. But then, I think you can just check profit >= 0 and then you don't need to test whether it's long or short since that logic would apply equally well to either. However, SL doesn't necessarily lose money if you're trailing it, so it's better to test the distance from the SL and TP level - the closer one is obviously the one that was hit. See the math in my above message.

It may also be possible to use the comment, but I'm not sure exactly how that works.
