What exactly do you want to get? Do you want the time of the last trade(type of trade "out of the market")? Or do you need to know the time of closing a position in the trading history?

You need to know the time of last closed position in the trading history.

The code I wrote will work in MQL5, although I hooked the libraryfxsaber works code mt4, but still, the question remains, can't I make theOrderCloseTime() functionin MQL5? However, I'd better give it up. I have more of a question for developers. I don't have to answer. I've read the history in the branch. I have not understood many things so far, perhaps I will reconsider my views on the MQL5 language in time.

It's quite simple. You just have to read it first, then draw conclusions :)

Use a very simple method (especially since in 99% of hedge accounts the deal type is "exit from market" - this is the closing of the position).

Online capture transactionTRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD- add transaction to history, check that it was a BUY or SELL trade, check that it was an "exit from market" tradeDEAL_ENTRY_OUT

Questions from beginners MQL5 MT5 MetaTrader 5

MrBrooklin, 2019.09.09 09:50

Good day everyone and great profits!

Generated a simple Expert Advisor using VQL5 Wizard, the code is given below. Help me to understand why function "Expiration of pending orders (in bars)" does not work, translated as "Expiration of pending orders (in bars)". I set any Signal_Expiration values from 1 to 1000, but the pending order still exists only within one bar. I also attach parameter settings.

For testing, I am using a demo account in the Metatrader 5 terminal, build 2136.

Sincerely, Vladimir.
