New comment
I am having an issue trying to count closed trades , i just can seem to get it done . 
int ClosedOdersCount = 0;
datetime TimeNow = TimeCurrent(); 
datetime TimeBefore = TimeCurrent() - 860000;
long OrderType ;  
  
  HistorySelect(TimeBefore,TimeNow);
  if(HistoryOrdersTotal() > 0){
    for(int i=HistoryOrdersTotal()-1; i>=0 ;i--){
    
       ulong ticket = HistoryOrderGetTicket(i);
      if (ticket>0) {
       if ( HistoryOrderGetTicket(ticket) ){
         Print("ticket: ", ticket); 

        HistoryOrderGetInteger(ticket, ORDER_TYPE,OrderType);
        Print("i = ", i, ", ticket = ", ticket, ", OrderType = ", OrderType );
          ClosedOdersCount ++;     

            }  
         }
        }
       

     Print("Today's closed trades count: ", ClosedOdersCount);

You need to check deals, not orders.

You should search before wasting your time on something you don't master, such code is available on this site.

I don't understand how to distinguish between position and order.

A simple way to view it ...

  • Order — the request (current and history)
  • Deal — the action (history)
  • Position — the result (current)

Orders, Positions and Deals in MetaTrader 5

MetaQuotes, 2011.02.01 16:13

Creating a robust trading robot cannot be done without an understanding of the mechanisms of the MetaTrader 5 trading system. The client terminal receives the information about the positions, orders, and deals from the trading server. To handle this data properly using the MQL5, it's necessary to have a good understanding of the interaction between the MQL5-program and the client terminal.

Ive changed it from checking deals not orders and it still doesnt seem to work 

int ClosedOdersCount = 0;
datetime TimeNow = TimeCurrent(); 
datetime TimeBefore = TimeCurrent() - 860000;
long OrderType ;  
  
  HistorySelect(TimeBefore,TimeNow);
  if(HistoryDealsTotal() > 0){
    for(int i=HistoryDealsTotal()-1; i>=0 ;i--){
    
       ulong ticket = HistoryDealGetTicket(i);
      if (ticket>0) {
       if ( HistoryDealGetTicket(ticket) ){
         Print("ticket: ", ticket); 

        HistoryDealGetInteger(ticket, DEAL_ORDER,OrderType);
        Print("i = ", i, ", ticket = ", ticket, ", OrderType = ", OrderType );
          ClosedOdersCount ++;     

            }  
         }
        }
       

     Print("Today's closed trades count: ", ClosedOdersCount);  
   }

You don't need to use HistoryDealGetTicket() 2 times.

Where is the code to check it's a "out" deal (closing) ?
