How can I check if a trade was closed by stoploss?
 
Left click on the "Account History" tab. Right click on any item and Left click on "Save as Detailed Report" and click Save. Then, your browser should pop up with the report.

If a trades was closed by stoploss, you'll see a "[sl]" at the end of the comment section for that particular trade.

- Vooch
 
Yes Vooch, but this may be server dependent and I am not sure it will be the case for all brokers. I had to change my code since different brokers seem to do different things to the comment.

Sorry I was not clear enough.

How can my MT4 EA 'see' if a position was closed by stoploss and reacts on it.

So as an example. If the stoploss gets hit the program should open a position in the oposite direction
 
TraderSeven,
If you have the order ticket, you can try something like this.

  int ticket=12345678;
  if ( OrderSelect( ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET ) == true )
  {
    if( OrderCloseTime() != 0 && OrderProfit() < 0 )
    {
      Print(StringConcatenate("Order #", ticket, " closed by stoploss!");
    }
  }

first analyze order comment, it should be "s/l" substring.
you may also compare close price with stoploss price.
if you do not close expert's orders manually then you can provide your own journal : open order - open record, close order - close record. and then analyze your journal
