thanks  i think in this mode is correct  ENUM_ORDER_TYPE type = PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE);

Hi

Here there are separate enum values for deals. orders and positions in mt5.

You should use proper ones for each of them, for example you should use:

ENUM_POSITION_TYPE postype=PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE) – and you can get Buy or Sell only

When you check the type for orders:

ENUM_ORDER_TYPE ordtype = OrderGetInteger(ORDER_TYPE);

you will get the types as in mt4  - but this will work only for orders.

You can also get deal type: HistoryDealGetInteger(deal_ticket,DEAL_TYPE)

Have a nice weekend
