OnTradeTransaction()

[zartan]

Hello 

I need to know if an order is stopped by a stoploss or take profit. by the server.

I think it is possible in the event OnTradeTransaction () but I can not find the right syntax and magic ticket  and order ticket = 0? 

Does anyone has an example or a tutorial ? 

thank you for your help

An Order cannot be closed by a StopLoss,  infact an Order cannot be closed . . . it can be deleted.  A Position can be closed by a StopLoss . . .  this thread may help:  https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/11996

thank's

i use this code but in cannot read the ticket to read ithe closed order n the history

 an idea ?

Hello,

As RaptorUK already said you, with MT5 only a position can be closed by SL. I suggest you to read again the article which Figurelli gives you the link.

If you need help with your code you have to post code that compiles and has a meaning, what's the meaning of the code you posted ?

There are mainly 2 ways to detect that a position was closed by SL :

• If you had an open position and it is now closed, check the history of deals to find the closing price of your position. This is the standard approach.
• Use OnTradeTransaction to detect changes in your position "on the fly". But it's an advanced technique.

[zartan]

My code is a example MT5 from doc

it shows the structure MQLTradeTransaction and MQLTradeResult

but i don"t find the ticket of the closed order 

[zartan]

i'am interested  by :

• Use OnTradeTransaction to detect changes in your position "on the fly". But it's an advanced technique.

the code goes in the OnTradeTransaction event, but in cannot find the wished information (id of order ...etc)

Show what you have tried please.

i think i have understood..

i have to scan order in history with the filter symbol to find the caratéristics of the deal

[madara971]

Hello everyone,

I want to create a function with ontradetransaction()

which places a limit order after closing a position.

Let me explain:

let's say we have two limit orders, a buy stop and a sell stop.

when the price touches the buy stop, for example, a buy is triggered. i want to place a new buy stop limit order at the same entry price as the previous one, when this buy is closed, whether in sl or tp. the same goes for my sell.

to avoid this happening too many times, i've set input:

input int maxBuyTrade = 2;

input int maxSellTrade = 2;

input totalTradeIndays= 2;

I wanted to set this limit according to the strategy I was using. I haven't been able to make any progress on this one for the past two weeks. can you help me please?
