Python & MT5

[Youssef Ben Haddada]

Hi I used  mt5.history_orders_get(f,t) and mt5.history_deals_get(f,t) but I got an issue understanding what are those columns : 

['ticket', 'time_setup', 'time_setup_msc', 'time_done', 'time_done_msc', 'time_expiration', 'type', 'type_time', 'type_filling', 'state', 'magic', 'position_id', 'position_by_id', 'reason', 'volume_initial', 'volume_current', 'price_open', 'sl', 'tp', 'price_current', 'price_stoplimit', 'symbol', 'comment', 'external_id'] for orders History and don't understand what 'type', 'type_time', 'type_filling', 'state', 'reason'columns stand for

for deals history History

['ticket', 'order', 'time', 'time_msc', 'type', 'entry', 'magic', 'position_id', 'reason', 'volume', 'price', 'commission', 'swap', 'profit', 'fee', 'symbol', 'comment', 'external_id']

and don't understand what 'type', 'entry', 'reason'columns stand for, can someone help me with that ?

You may need to reference the MQL5 documentation for an easier understanding ...

Documentation on MQL5: Constants, Enumerations and Structures / Trade Constants / Order Properties

HistoryOrderGetDouble	Returns the requested property of an order in the history (double)
HistoryOrderGetInteger	Returns the requested property of an order in the history (datetime or int)
HistoryOrderGetString	Returns the requested property of an order in the history (string)

Hi
I am trying to get the hisotry of orders, positions, and deals but it returns nothing while I have had some closed positions. Can I ask what version of mt5 do you use or don't you have that problem?
