Hi,

How do I check in MQL5 when my last trade happened on my account?

Sorry if it is a bit of a cheapass question.


Thanx

Creating a robust trading robot cannot be done without an understanding of the mechanisms of the MetaTrader 5 trading system. The client terminal receives the information about the positions, orders, and deals from the trading server. To handle this data properly using the MQL5, it's necessary to have a good understanding of the interaction between the MQL5-program and the client terminal.

Thanx for the reply. I finally found that in the docs. Will they come back in time sequence?
 

I would be a bit nervous to show my code. I'm an old mainframe COBOL programmer, so my MQL5 coding skills might scare a few people! :)

I don't know, probably better to not rely on that, check the date.
