Table of all trades. Accessed via MQL5

 

How do I get a table of trades? So far, it doesn't matter from indicator or Expert Advisor. If periodically (in OnTimer() or in OnTick()) we receive the history of ticks through CopyTicks - they will be added to the arrayMqlTick.

But a simple analysis of this array will not give an answer - were there new deals or not, because the comparison of tick times is not always correct, because there may be several deals in one millisecond:

Use onBookEvent() event - it is triggered for each change of the market.

Use second cutoffs. For example, in MqlTick or even in OnEvent, copy the new ticks which arrived in last second to the array. The difference between the previous value and the current size of the array will indicate the number of new ticks.

Use onBookEvent() event, it will be triggered on each change of the rate.

The cup is, roughly speaking, a "tick chart twitch" - it is not necessarily a change in the table of all trades.

Vasiliy Sokolov:
Use the second cutoffs. For example, in MqlTick or even in OnEvent copy the new ticks received during the last second into the array. The difference between the previous value and the current size of the array will indicate the number of new ticks.
Do something like a mask: 0-1-0-1, and if the mask is stable at about five and ten lines, it's a guaranteed match?
 
Karputov Vladimir:

A bet is, to put it crudely, a "tick chart twitch" - it is not necessarily a change in the table of all trades.


If you think about it a bit, there are bound to be all trades.

Thanks a lot ! I had an idea about it the other day
 
Found the error and optimised the operation.
