OnTradeTransaction: Is deal being closed?

[Charles Stangor]

I'm using OnTradeTransaction() to monitor trades.  

Is there a way to tell if the deal is being opened or closed?

Right now I'm filtering the callbacks using trans.type == TRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD

Thanks.

A deal is never "closed". I suppose you mean a deal which result in opening or closing of a position ?

You have to use :

HistoryDealGetInteger(ticket,DEAL_ENTRY);

You have to use :

Sorry, so this is a puzzle to me.  What is a "deal?" -- is it the same as an executed order (a trade)?

thanks.
