You should use 
OrderInfo.OrderType()
 

Hi

In the COrderInfo class Type is not defined virtual method. If You want to get the type of the order you have to use OrderType() function which return ORDER_TYPE property of the order.

Have a nice day👍📊

You should use
That's what I said.

COrderInfo OrderInfo.OrderType() always returns 0 for any Order type.

I had to use the OrderTypeDescription() to identify different Orders type because Order info.OrderType() returns 0 


Is this a bug on Mql5 or it's meant to do this?


 
That's true. I made a mistake, it's OrderInfo.OrderType() not OrderInfo.Type().
