MT5 versus MT4 Terminal Screens - Disappointed with changes in MT 5

[GeoffK]

MT4 kept the S/L and T/P info in the history .. so far MT5 seems to have eliminated this .. how can this be fixed in MT5?

Whilst I like the full range of Trailing Stops added to MT5 other issues compared to MT4 are:

In MT4 the History operated as "current month" though it said "last month" whereas in MT5 there is no "current month" history and the "last month" is the full last 30 days.

In MT4 size of trade was used on trade screen .. noted in MT5 this has become volume ... I think the change is not right as volume should be kept as a term about each symbol trades

First run this script

#include <MT4Orders.mqh> // https://www.mql5.com/en/code/16006

#define Ask SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_ASK)
#define SLIPPAGE 100
#define OFFSET (SLIPPAGE * _Point)

void OnStart()
{
  if (OrderSelect(OrderSend(_Symbol, OP_BUY, 1, Ask, SLIPPAGE, 0, 0), SELECT_BY_TICKET))
  {
    OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), OrderOpenPrice() - OFFSET, OrderOpenPrice() + OFFSET, 0);
    
    if (OrderSelect(OrderTicket(), SELECT_BY_TICKET))
      OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), OrderClosePrice(), SLIPPAGE);
  }
}

Result:

In this way it is possible to learn the SL/TP of closed positions.
