Order Select History Missing When MT4 restarted

[gangsta1]

Hi,

My EA always needs to check the last close trade but whenever mt4 is closed and restarted it does not read the last trade. Any ideas how I can code my EA to check the last trades result even when the terminal is restarted?

    double profit = 0;
    datetime lastCloseTime = 0;
    int cnt = OrdersHistoryTotal();
    for (int i=0; i < cnt; i++)
    {
        if (!OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY)) continue;
        if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber && lastCloseTime < OrderCloseTime())
        {
            lastCloseTime = OrderCloseTime();
            profit = OrderProfit();
        }
    }

You could check that the history total >0, otherwise return.

Thank you, Could you show me an example please?

    int cnt = OrdersHistoryTotal();
    if(cnt<1)
       return;
    for (int i=0; i < cnt; i++)
    {

If the history has not loaded, it will then return and wait for the next tick without doing anything
