What does swap have to do with testing ?

Profit what do you consider?

[Arseniy Barudkin]

Hello, Can you please tell me if it is possible to write a function that matches the time of the terminal and the computer (my time zone), so that in the parameters of the EA I just entered the desired time in my time zone, if so, tell me how, what predefined functions to use for this. Thanks in advance!

Didn't check(

void SER()

   for(int pos=OrdersHistoryTotal()-1;pos>=0;pos--)
     {
      if(!OrderSelect(pos,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY)){break;}
      if(OrderProfit()>0 && loss>0){break;}else{win++;continue;}
      if(OrderProfit()<0 && win>0){break;}else{loss++;continue;}

If a series has a profit of an order equal to zero - ignore it and keep counting...(just in case)

void SER()
  {
   int loss=0;
   int win=0;
   for(int pos=OrdersHistoryTotal()-1;pos>=0;pos--)
     {
      if(!OrderSelect(pos,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY)){break;}
      if(OrderProfit()==0){continue;}
      if(OrderProfit()>0 && loss>0){break;}else{win++;continue;}
      if(OrderProfit()<0 && win>0){break;}else{loss++;continue;}
     }
  }

And if the profit is +1, and the swaps and commissions are -5, then it is still profitable?
