Order select for MQL5

[Peter Kaiza]

I'm trying to convert this code from mql4 to Mql5 but id does return the desired result;

 MT4 code-  if(!OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)) continue

MT5 code Im using:

      if((ticket=OrderGetTicket(i))!=0)    continue;

What is the mistake?

There is a difference between deals, orders, and positions in MQL5. You need to use the position functions to work with open positions. Even better, use the CPositionInfo class. 

#include <trade/trade.mqh>

int OnInit() {
   return INIT_SUCCEEDED;
}

void OnTick() {
    CPositionInfo pos_info;
    string comment = "";
    for (int i=PositionsTotal()-1; i>=0 && pos_info.SelectByIndex(i); --i) {
        comment += StringFormat(
            "\nIndex=%d, Symbol=%s, Ticket=%d, Type=%s, Profit=%.2f",
            i,
            pos_info.Symbol(),
            pos_info.Ticket(),
            EnumToString(pos_info.PositionType()),
            pos_info.Profit()
        );
    }
    Comment(comment);
}
