OrderOpenPrice()

[Ian Venner]

Does OrderOpenPrice() return the original Ask price of a Buy order and the Bid price of a Sell order or does it just return the Bid price at the time the order was filled ?

It returns the price at which the Order was opened, an OP_BUY is opened at Ask, an OP_SELL at Bid . . .

Check the order type to know wether the open price was bid or ask.

If you mean the moment you did OrderSend() No, we have Slippage

OrderOpenPrice() returns the price at which the order was filled

I know what the order type is, and slippage does not come into it.

I need to do a calculation in my EA. For that calculation I need to know if OrderOpenPrice() will return the Ask price at the time a Buy order was opened and the Bid price at the time a sell order was opened or does it always just use the Bid price like the terminal does.
