It depends on the overlapping sequence, the last one on top

Define buffer withDRAW_FILLING first

Surprisingly, it worked! I thought this trick was only for the buffers of one indicator, but it turns out to be the same for all.

Thank you!

Optimisation:

"All ticks" and"Every tick based on real ticks" are the same thing? Which is more credible, if the test has been running since 2012

In the first case the terminal writes "96% history quality", in the second "26% real ticks".

Read the logs - and you will see from which year the real ticks are. As a rule there are real ticks for the last three years.

I see, so the real ticks are better, even though it says 26% vs 96%. The last number looks nicer)

Can you also tell me how to select the last tick in the history? Or the last trade. I need to know how it closed: on stop or not.

Trying something, not working.

    int Last_deal_ticket = 0;
    for(int cnt=PositionsTotal()-1;cnt>=0;cnt--)
      {
        if(PositionSelectByTicket(PositionGetTicket(cnt)))
        if(PositionGetSymbol(cnt)==Symbol() && PositionGetInteger(POSITION_MAGIC)==Magic_number)
        Last_deal_ticket=PositionSelectByTicket(PositionGetTicket(cnt));
      }
    // потом, когда закроется, будет висеть с этим тикетом в истории
    // обращаемся к истории
    HistorySelectByPosition(Last_deal_ticket);
    if (HistoryDealGetString(Last_deal_ticket, (ENUM_DEAL_PROPERTY_STRING)DEAL_REASON)==DEAL_REASON_SL......... )

Got it, so the real ticks are better, even though it says 26% vs 96%. The latter number looks prettier)

No, you don't get it.

1. Real ticks do give the real picture when tested.

2. But, you have to use real ticks head on - you have to look at the logs to see from which date there are real ticks. Otherwise, in your case from 2012 to (roughly 2018) go "all ticks" and only then go "every tick based on real ticks.

3. Insert the code RIGHTLY: First the button and then insert the code in the pop-up window!!!

No, you don't understand.

Can you tell me how to select the last ticket in the history? Or the last trade. I need to know how it closed: by stop or not.

I'm trying something, I can't.

I have sort of grabbed the last trade in the history and tried to check how it was closed

Print("Last deal close = ", HistoryDealGetInteger(Last_deal_ticket,DEAL_REASON)); 

Log

Last deal close = 3

I looked at the documentation and there

Identifier	Description
DEAL_REASON_CLIENT	Deal was executed as a result of an order triggered from the desktop terminal
DEAL_REASON_MOBILE	Deal was executed as a result of a triggered order placed from the mobile application
DEAL_REASON_WEB	Deal is executed as a result of an order placed from the web platform
DEAL_REASON_EXPERT	The trade is executed as a result of a triggered order placed from the MQL5 program - Expert Advisor or script
DEAL_REASON_SL	The deal was executed as a result of a Stop Loss order triggering

First 5 lines.

I do not understand what it means: if we count from 1, then 3 isDEAL_REASON_WEB, which is wrong. If from zero, thenDEAL_REASON_EXPERT. But, then I don't understand now how to know in which trade the stop loss occurred.

Please help.

Seems to have captured the last transaction in the history, tried to see how it closed

You are using the ENUM_DEAL_REASON enumeration. You don't have to compare an enum with any digits, you have to compare it with an enum. Here's an example that accesses the trade history (though in OnTradeTransaction) and detects triggering of Stop Loss and Take Profit:

Example: tracking the triggering of Stop Loss or Take Profit
