Alexey Volchanskiy:
So the commission can only be found out after the position is closed? But it is taken at the opening, at least on ECN accounts in alpe and robo. That's not good.

No, think about the concept of "trades". Above is a working source. Take a close look at it.

Alexey Volchanskiy:

And there is no such property in documentation, but it compiles ) This is all there is in the terminal's help.

POSITION_VOLUME	Position volume	double
POSITION_PRICE_OPEN	Position price	double
POSITION_SL	Stop loss level for open position	double
POSITION_TP	Take Profit level for open position	double
POSITION_PRICE_CURRENT	Current price for the symbol	double
POSITION_SWAP	Accumulated swap	double
POSITION_PROFIT	Current profit	double

The POSITION_COMMISSION property in the tester (RoboForexEU-MetaTrader 5) always returns zero commission.

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Get the property value "POSITION_COMMISSION"                     |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double CPositionInfo::Commission(void) const
  {
   return(PositionGetDouble(POSITION_COMMISSION));
  }

Also POSITION_COMMISSION (== 8) is missing in the help and meta-editor (highlighting), but is familiar to the compiler. The position commission is not difficult to determine using another (working) method. Is the POSITION_COMMISSION property a rudiment?

Alexey Volchanskiy:

You have the defines commented out at the end there, is that correct?

Yes, that's how it should be. It's done on purpose to show that it's not allowed - see comments inside.

One more thing. I will be posting a video in my blog on YouTube, showing the conversion from MQL4 to MQL5. How do you mind if I show your library too? And a link to kodobase of course.

No problem.

This is what I'm talking about.

I couldn't even find the "Commission" column in my trading account but I had it in History and it was filled in the rows of deals. That's why I started looking for commission in HistoryDealGetDouble. And the commission is taken twice. 1 when opening a position and 2 when closing a position.

The "Trading" tab does not even have the "Commission" column, but the "History" has it and it is filled in the rows of trades. That is why I started looking for commission in HistoryDealGetDouble. And the commission is taken twice. 1 at position opening and 2 at position closing.

Yes, I noticed that there are no commissions in Trading. I guess I'm judging from MT4, there is and commission is taken immediately and in full (open+close) when an order is opened. Just recently switched to MT5, due to opening a hedge, hence such questions )

Reverse Translation: MQL5 -> MQL4. MT5 Wizard at the service of MT4!

Reverse Translation: MQL5 -> MQL4. MT5 Wizard at the service of MT4!

In a nutshell, is this package translating any MT5->MT4 code or just the MT5 Wizard? I don't need mt5 visards.

It makes the Wizard one work without any changes, as it is. You can write order functions and some other functions in MQL5 through plug-in. It would be easier to write the question to the author.

Cool, it is almost like back to the future.

The work is similar to yours, only in the opposite direction.
