define time moments, when EA opened pending order

[hanzov]

Is it possible to define  time moments, when EA opened pending order?

It means, I want use this approach  for EA testing. I will see visually when order  was opened.

So I need indicator to find order openings and amrk it, drawing line, f.e.

Thanks

In visual mode the Strategy Tester does it for you already . . .

Can't you keep track of time in an array?? 

Declare a double type arrays, and every time there is a new order, you can take the time stamp and price, and store it into arrays. 

When looping through the arrays, you have all of your open trades times, and prices.

You can also the arrays saved to a CSV file.

Once you have this data, you can easily place a vertical line on your chart to show at what point the trade was opened, or a horizontal line, if you are interested in the price, instead of the time. Or you can graph both, the vertical for time, and horizontal for price. This is a fast approach, instead of creating an indicator, which would seem like much more work. 

 

 something like this:

double timeArray[50];
double priceArray[50];

int index=0;
void start()
{
  // entry logic goes here
  // ordersend function goes here
  timeArray[index]=<current time>;
  priceArray[index]=OrderOpenPrice(); 
  index++;
  saveToCSV(); // implement function to save to CSV file
  graphToChart(); // implement to graph a line on time or price	
}

Don't need to store them, just draw the line while the order is open

bool    MySelect(int iWhat, int eSelect, int ePool=MODE_TRADES){
    if (!OrderSelect(iWhat, eSelect, ePool)    ) return (false);
    if (OrderMagicNumber() != magic.number     ) return (false);
    if (OrderSymbol()      != chart.symbol     ) return (false);
    if (ePool != MODE_HISTORY                  ) return (true);
    return(OrderType() <= OP_SELL); // Avoid cr/bal forum.mql4.com/32363#325360
                                    // https://forum.mql4.com/30708
                                    // Never select canceled orders.
}
//////
    for(int iPos = OrdersTotal()-1; iPos >= 0; iPos--)
    if (MySelect(iPos, SELECT_BY_POS)){
        int         ticket  = OrderTicket();
        double      OOP     = OrderOpenPrice();     
        double      OCP     = OrderClosePrice();
        datetime    OOT     = OrderOpenTime(),
                    now     = Time[0];
        TLine("Order"+ticket, OOT, OOP, now, OCP, Gold);
    }
