Do HistoryDealGetTicket(index) is sort by HistoryDeal open time?

[LEE Chun Wing]

Do index of HistoryDealGetTicket(index)  is sort by HistoryDeal open time?

 

or close time?

 

if i use HistoryDealGetTicket(0)  , then it will select the latest one or oldest deal?

what the rules with the index , it is  descenting with the deal open time ?

if I want to get last 5 deals' profit, how to obtain them?

THANKS

HistoryDealsGetTicket(index) should not be used as a stand alone call. As used in this example https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/trading/historydealgetticket , the index is sorted by ascending deals.

Here is example to find elapsed open deal time of last deal in an open position.

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|   return elapsed time for last deal in current open position     |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
datetime LastDealElapsedTime()
  {
   uint pos_total=0;
   uint total=0;
   long pos_id=0;
   ulong HTicket=0; 
   datetime ETime=LONG_MAX;  
   pos_total=PositionsTotal();
   if(pos_total>0)
     { // continue if current open position

      if(PositionSelect(Symbol())) // continue if open position is for chart symbol
        {
         pos_id=(ENUM_POSITION_PROPERTY_INTEGER)PositionGetInteger(POSITION_IDENTIFIER);
         HistorySelectByPosition(pos_id);
         total=HistoryDealsTotal();
         HTicket=HistoryDealGetTicket(total-1); // get ticket number for last deal in position
         
         if(HTicket>0)
            ETime=TimeCurrent()-HistoryDealGetInteger(HTicket,DEAL_TIME);

         return(ETime);
        }

     }
   return(0);
  }

Yes. Example: HistoryDealsTotal() = 10 completed deals.  HistoryDealGetTicket (1) = oldest deal.  HistoryDealGetTicket (10)  = newest deal.
