When MT4 sent request to broker to open a position

is there a code to pinpoint exact time (using indicator) when the request was sent?

Thank you.

That is good but I mean for example how

to put in Comment the exact time when

a request to open a position was sent.

  
external: "permvar.dll", int, "PVInit",LPSTR;   
external: "permvar.dll", int, "PVValue",int,LPSTR,int;  
external: "permvar.dll", int, "PVGetValue",int,LPSTR;

.

.
.
int PV=0;
void Init { .....

PV=PVInit("MyEaOrderTimes");
}

.
.
void Start()
{

// Send Order to Broker
ticket=OrderSend(.......); 
// Store it on permanent variable storage with ticket id
PVValue(PV,DoubleToStr(ticket,0),TimeCurrent());

}


you can do something like that. You have to use free of charge addon PermVar

 

fx1.net,

first of all I am impressed with your very good website about AddOns, a very

useful stuff.

But I meant a bit different.

If an EA sends request to broker to make a trade as OrderSend(...),

can an indicator on the chart write to Comment the moment of the start of sending

of the request.

No. An indicator has no knowledge of what an EA does. Have the EA update the comment.
