How can I check if a position was closed by the stoploss?

[Marbo]

Hello guys,

I want to make an expert which checks if a position was closed by the stoploss. As soon as a position is closed by a stoploss I want to be noticed by an Alert. What is the best way to do this? Would you check the order-history with every tick or is it the better way to use OnTrade() or OnTradeTransaction()?

Thank you!

you can try this

void OnTradeTransaction(const MqlTradeTransaction& trans, const MqlTradeRequest& request, const MqlTradeResult& result) 
  {
   if(trans.type == TRADE_TRANSACTION_ORDER_DELETE) // trying to pause trade when SL hit
     {
        Alert("Stop loss hit");
     }
  }
