searching through the complete history of an acoount

[Farvardin Faili]

as you know the OrdersHistoryTotal() function returns the closed orders in history based on the history tab settings...

now say i want to search through all the orders in history no matter what kind of limitations they are ....

if i make a loop with OrdersHistoryTotal() it searches thorugh the history that is shown to the user in terminal based on the users settings .... i want to search all of the history from the begining  regardless of the settings or limitations...how to do that?

thank u in advance

   1. Do not assume history has only closed orders.

   2. Do not assume history is ordered by date, it's not.

   3. Total Profit is OrderProfit() + OrderSwap() + OrderCommission(). Some brokers don't use the Commission/Swap fields. Instead, they add balance entries. (Maybe related to Government required accounting/tax laws.)

   Your question is like: how do I drive to the store; you get in the car and drive. How do you search history; you do an OrderSelect loop. Perhaps you should read the manual. Show us your attempt (using the CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.
