That is, when Stop Loss or Take Profit is triggered, there is always a deal DEAL_TYPE_SELL
or DEAL_TYPE_BUY (order ORDER_TYPE_SELL or ORDER_TYPE_BUY).

A deal is the reflection of the fact of a trade operation execution based on an order that contains a trade request. Each trade is described by properties that allow to obtain information about it. In order to read values of properties, functions of the Identifier of a position, in the opening, modification or closing of which this deal...
Thanks! I was sure about the ENUM_DEAL_TYPE, was just wondering about ENUM_ORDER_TYPE - my feeling was that it is ORDER_TYPE_BUY or ORDER_TYPE_SELL, as SL / TP is by definition a market order - so glad to see that it is in fact handled this way.
So I assume that the same story is with the Stop Out, as it is kind of SL implemented on the broker side.

Requests to execute trade operations are formalized as orders. Each order has a variety of properties for reading. Information on them can be obtained using functions Position identifier that is set to an order as soon as it is executed. Each executed order results in a deal that opens or modifies an already existing position. The...
Hi,
Just wondering before I potentially spend time on simulating it from EA code - has someone already checked what kind of ENUM_ORDER_TYPE of historical orders correspond with the occurrence of the following DEAL reasons? I mean, ORDER_TYPE_BUY / ORDER_TYPE_SELL or ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP / ORDER_TYPE_SELL_STOP?
DEAL_REASON_SL
The deal was executed as a result of Stop Loss activation
DEAL_REASON_TP
The deal was executed as a result of Take Profit activation
DEAL_REASON_SO
The deal was executed as a result of the Stop Out event
There definitely is some order behind, as the OnTradeTransaction() event handler, when handling SL/TP activation on a position, comes up with a following sequence of trade transaction events:
TRADE_TRANSACTION_POSITION -> TRADE_TRANSACTION_ORDER_UPDATE -> TRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD -> TRADE_TRANSACTION_ORDER_DELETE -> TRADE_TRANSACTION_HISTORY_ADD
So the ocurrence of TRADE_TRANSACTION_HISTORY_ADD suggests that there is an order added to history after SL/TP activation.
