MQL5 Functions not returning values!!

[Abubakar Abu Saidu]

Hi there!,, 

I have been testing and returning few small MQL5 functions.. but none are returning any values!..

eg. Such as Signal info, and History Transactions/Deals.

    double totalDeposits = 0.0;
    double totalWithdrawals = 0.0;

   // int totalDeals = HistoryOrdersTotal();
    int totalDeals = HistoryDealsTotal();
    //for (int i = 0; i < totalDeals; i++)
    for(int i=totalDeals-1;i>=0;i--)
    {
     Print("History Detected!!");
         ulong ticket=HistoryDealGetTicket(i);
         if(ticket==0)
           {
            Print("HistoryDealGetTicket failed, no trade history");
            break;
           }
        ulong dealTicket = HistoryDealGetTicket(i);
        long dealType = HistoryDealGetInteger(dealTicket, DEAL_TYPE);
        long dealEntry = HistoryDealGetInteger(dealTicket, DEAL_ENTRY);
     
        
     if(dealType==DEAL_TYPE_BALANCE)
       { 
      // if (dealEntry == DEAL_ENTRY_IN) // Check for deposits
        {
            double dealAmount = HistoryDealGetDouble(dealTicket, DEAL_PROFIT);
            totalDeposits += dealAmount;
        }
       // else if (dealEntry == DEAL_ENTRY_OUT) // Check for withdrawals
        {
            double dealAmount = HistoryDealGetDouble(dealTicket, DEAL_PROFIT);
            totalWithdrawals += dealAmount;
        }
       }
    }
string Transfers;
string Sub;
string Connected;
double Percent;//=SIGNAL_INFO_VOLUME_PERCENT;
    Transfers=DoubleToString(totalDeposits+totalWithdrawals,2);
    // Get the signal ID
    long signalID = SignalBaseGetInteger(SIGNAL_BASE_ID);
    if (signalID > 0) Sub="OK";
    else Sub="No";
    //Terminal Connected
    if(TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_CONNECTED)) Connected="OK";
    else Connected="Error";

    double myBalance = AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_BALANCE);
    double SignalBalance = SignalBaseGetDouble(SIGNAL_BASE_BALANCE);
    double s_maxDD=SignalBaseGetDouble(SIGNAL_BASE_MAX_DRAWDOWN);
    double s_Price=SignalBaseGetDouble(SIGNAL_BASE_PRICE);
    double s_ROI=SignalBaseGetDouble(SIGNAL_BASE_ROI);
    double s_Gain=SignalBaseGetDouble(SIGNAL_BASE_GAIN);
    long    s_Pips=SignalBaseGetInteger(SIGNAL_BASE_PIPS);
    long    s_Trades=SignalBaseGetInteger(SIGNAL_BASE_TRADES);
    string s_Currency=SignalBaseGetString(SIGNAL_BASE_CURRENCY);
    string s_Name=SignalBaseGetString(SIGNAL_BASE_NAME);
    
    if (SignalBalance != 0)
    {
        Percent = NormalizeDouble((myBalance / SignalBalance) * 100,2);
        Print("My balance is ", Percent, "% of Signal balance.");
    }
    else
    {
        Print("Signal's balance is zero, cannot calculate percentage.");
    }

All of signalinfo(SignalBaseGetDouble(),.. etc) returns Nothing!..

Any advice or solution pls..

SignalBaseGetDouble

Returns the value of double type property for selected signal.

Where do you first call SignalBaseSelect?

Ah.. thanks.. this solved it!.

but the main headache is the HistoryTotal!

You also don't select the history. Please read the documentation !

HistorySelect(from, to);

Does "SignalBaseTotal()'" not supposed to return total orders on MT5?

It returns and works fine on MT4.. but not MT5.

am i missing something?

   int total=SignalBaseTotal();
   Print("Total Signal=="+IntegerToString(SignalBaseTotal()));

Returns 0 on MT5.. 

Returns 1000 on MT4
