Python & MT5

[Youssef 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 ...

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?
