Interesting article Andre. Your method of obtaining closed reason is by inspection of order comment.

Is this 100% generic solution that will apply to brokers where I can trade using EA's?

This is important to know otherwise failure is likely.

If cannot warranty that order comment will be modified and thus your method is used then is there method which uses closed order data fields: profit, openPrice,closePrice, TP,SL,closeTime,expiryTime... ?

Thank you Andre.

It is better to analyse a OrderClosePrice():

if ( MathAbs( OrderClosePrice() - OrderStopLoss() ) < Point ) // closed by SL
if ( MathAbs( OrderClosePrice() - OrderTakeProfit() ) < Point ) // closed by TP

How can I add and alert when I open a buy or sell position? Is it possible? Thanks

Hi, is it possible to retrieve the Order information (i.e. ticket number, closed price ...) when an event is triggered?

int start()
{
    CheckEvents( MagicNumber );
    OrderInfoObj orderInfo;
    if ( (orderInfo = eventBuyClosed_SL) > 0 )
        Alert( Symbol(), ": Buy position was closed by StopLoss!", orderInfo.ticket, orderInfo.closedPrice ... );
    ....
return(0); 

}

Very good article.  But I noticed when I tried to use it inside a code that if I open a Sell Stop and then the Sell Stop is activated and becomes a Sell and there is a Stop Loss there is no event triggered.
