Is ordertype value retained once order is closed?

[Erik Volk]

I'm pretty certain the answer is no, since the reference specifies order property operation types are for the OrderSend() function, but I was wondering if you can select a closed order using the OrderSelect() function (MODE_HISTORY), then get a return value of the order operation type using OrderType().    Basically what i'm asking is: does the closed order retain the OrderType() value it had when it was still open/in the market (either a 0 or a 1), or does that get "wiped out" once the order is closed?

Of course, you can.

Of course, you can.

Thanks! So orders retain their operational value (0 or 1) even after the order is no longer in the market?

If you really wanna be sure, just code a simple program and Print() your Values.

void OnTick()
{
   //- Previous Count Memory & New Count
   static int Ticket              = 0;
   static int OrdersTotalPrevious = 0; 
          int OrdersTotalCurrent  = OrdersTotal();

   //- Send Test Order
   if(OrdersTotalCurrent == 0){
      Ticket = OrderSend(_Symbol,OP_BUY,0.02,Ask,30,Ask - 0.0005, Ask + 0.0005,"TEST",0,0,clrNONE);
      if(Ticket <= 0)
      {
         Print("Could not send Order.");
      }
   }
   
   //- Compare Previous Count to New Count
   if(OrdersTotalCurrent < OrdersTotalPrevious)
   {
      //- Print Out Value to Answer your Question
      if(OrderSelect(Ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET)){
         int Type = OrderType();
         Print("Closed Ticket Type: ",(string)Type);
         ExpertRemove();
      }
   }
   
   //- Save Count for Next Event
   OrdersTotalPrevious = OrdersTotalCurrent;
}
