Check order status

[DeltaElectronics]

Hello to everybody,

I have a little problem, because of my little knowledge of MQL5 language... Once I open an order, using OrderOpen() of Ctrade class, now I want to know to check its status at every tick; i.e. I want to know if it is still opened or instead closed because of TakeProfit or StopLoss level is reached.

How to do ?

Pls., help me !!!

I want to know if it is still opened

PositionSelect() will tell you if a position is still open.

or instead closed because of TakeProfit or StopLoss level is reached.

Look at the OnTradeTransaction() event.

You've probably figured it out by now, but if not, PositionSelect is only used to select the position, then if it returns true, you would want to get information about that position previously selected with another function call.

if(PositionSelect(Symbol()){
        if(PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME) == 0){
        
        }
}       

This is just an example on how to access positions information.
