Checking if the last trade was profitable or not

[Diane Minshew]

I can check the open price

I can not get the close price to compare them.

HistoryOrderGetDouble(HistoryOrderGetTicket(HistoryOrdersTotal()-1),ORDER_PRICE_OPEN);

Did you select your history ?

Im breaking down the Martingale Library to understand how it works yet its not based on if a trade is loss double up. from my understanding so far

   double cl=HistoryOrderGetDouble(HistoryOrderGetTicket(HistoryOrdersTotal()-1),ORDER_PRICE_OPEN); //Double Because of ORDER_PRICE_OPEN
   double op=HistoryOrderGetDouble(HistoryOrderGetTicket(HistoryOrdersTotal()-2),ORDER_PRICE_OPEN); //Double Because of ORDER_PRICE_OPEN
            
              //Get the Properties in (Ticket History (list of order history () second from the last ), 
   long typeor=HistoryOrderGetInteger(HistoryOrderGetTicket(HistoryOrdersTotal()-2),ORDER_TYPE); // HistoryOrderGetInterger Because of OrderType
   if(typeor==ORDER_TYPE_BUY)
     {
      if(op>cl)
        {
         if(ud<DoublingCount)
           {
            lt1=HistoryOrderGetDouble(HistoryOrderGetTicket(HistoryOrdersTotal()-2),ORDER_VOLUME_INITIAL)*2; //Double Because of Order Volume Initial
            ud++;
           }
         else ud=0;
        }
      else ud=0;
     }

just if the 2nd to last order open price is greater than the last order open price.

Yes I am talking about HistorySelect(). You always have to select your history before using HistoryXXX functions.

It wont print the profit, thus no comparison is possible

void ScanClosedTrades()
{
  HistorySelect(0,TimeCurrent());
  
   ulong  ticket = 0;
   double profit;
   uint   dealsTotal=HistoryDealsTotal(); 
 //--- Loop for tracking wins losses and lot sizes for trading
        
         for (uint i=0; i < dealsTotal; i++)
               {
                if((ticket=HistoryDealGetTicket(i))>0)
                {
                profit=HistoryDealGetDouble(ticket,DEAL_PROFIT);
                
                }
               
                if (profit < 0)
                  {
                     Print("Profit: %f",CheckProfit);//profit);
                  }
               }
