Date of an opened order

[[Deleted]]

Yo,

juste a simple question, how to know the opening date of a selected order ?

I mean I got 5 orders open and still not clotured, and I want to know the date when my EA opened a selected order...

Thanks in advance

Use OrderOpenTime().  Remember to first select the order using OrderSelect().

If you click this link  OrderOpenTime()   you can read the documentation and discover what is returned.

OK,  lets see if I can help explain.

The value that is returned is a    datetime type    and represents the date and time when the currently selected Order was opened. To use OrderOpenTime() you must first select the correct Order that you want to Open time for.  Does that help ?

first select the correct Order that you want to Open time for.

string DateToKnow =TimeToStr(OrderOpenTime() ,TIME_DATE);
