Well, I don't know whether to write further questions if the administration has not responded to the previous two. Even a personal letter to Renat did not save the situation. :-)

Let's hope the common people on the forum will help. The question is this.

What is the purpose of modification of SL/TP(MqlTradeRequest.action = TRADE_ACTION_SLTP) to pass deviation parameter to MqlTradeRequest structure?

The documentation says that it is a necessary parameter for changing SL/TP. I don't know why it is needed there?

P.S. I have asked all questions to ServiceDesk under MetaTrader 5 MQL (suggestion). I want to know how long it takes to reply to them. Who has an experience?

When initializing a structure or any variable, its values are filled with random values (the ones that were in memory at that moment). After initialization I reset all fields of the query structure, it's less of a problem.

The deviation question was partially discussed here:https://www.mql5.com/ru/forum/1920/16706#comment_16706

Maybe you can find some relevant information.

Sometimes there are messages on the forum like "look at my request ## - it's been a long time since I sent it". So it varies.

Hello.

In the help, it is written that HistoryDealsTotal() returns the number of deals in the history. And how do I get information about the trades that are currently forming a position?

All of the deals immediately go into the history. Take a look at the definitions. There is also an articleon "Orders, Positions and Trades in MT5".

Thank you, it all worked out.

I have another question. Suppose I need to analyse some shares of Ukrainian issuers. The data is available on the UB website. Can I open them somehow in MT5? Like for example in MT4 there are offline charts, in MT5 is there such a possibility?

MT5 does not allow you to download someone else's quote history, if that's what you mean. You can write your own programs to read data from .bin, .txt, .csv files and process them. How much of a pain - I do not know.

There is no standalone charts. But you can load data from a file into the indicator and draw candles - it will look like a normal chart with an instrument. Then you can take information from the indicator and process it in the usual way.

joo:

But the whole picture is spoiled by skipped bars (or on the contrary - unnecessary)...
