MQL4 - Get the delay (between open/close) of execution of lasts trades

New comment
 
Hello,
I need a code snippet to get the delay of execution of the lasts trades in history.
The reason is I have an EA which, very rarely, can have a bug : It opens and close orders within less than a second, and repeat that forever. It can wash the account.
So the idea is to to return true if the last(s) order(s) are closed that fast (which is the bug signature), and then close all orders and turn off autotrading  (i already have those functions).

I suppose the function must be called in onTrade(), and i also suppose i can use OrderCloseTime and OderOpenTime.

Can you help to clarify how I can do that ?

Thanks

    Why did you post your MT4 question in the MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page)?

    Select the order, and substract the two times. You haven't stated a problem, you stated a want. Show us your attempt (using the CODE button) and state the nature of your difficulty.

You should verify opening and closing conditions … maybe both are true, and it shouldn’t… is your strategy an indicator based? Also … also, add a filter to only open trades once per  bar
