OrderSend() and ticket# in backtests
That's odd.
agreed, that is odd... but if you're using the Strategy Tester and running OrderSend() only once, then I think you will always get a ticket ID# of 1... if you alter that line of code to add another order and label your variables like "ticketId1 = OrderSend(...);" and "ticketId2 = OrderSend(...)" - do you get "1" and "2"? If so, then I suspect this might be culprit and if/when you run it through OnTick(), you should get a proper ID#.
hello
I had the same problem on MT4,this because you use rong tpye
int temp_tick_id=0;//befor i define this variate as
bool,so i always get 1,just change it to int
temp_tick_id = OrderSend(aTrend_3k.symbol_now, OP_BUY, order_lots, Ask, 0, frist_sl[0], 0, "trend_3k_0p1_buy"+uuid, 0, clrGreen);
printf("buy oreder_id=%d at %s,price=%6.5f,sl=%6.5f",temp_tick_id,TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS),Ask,frist_sl[0]);
==>why temp_tick_id always get 1

Hello,
int ticketId = OrderSend(...) always returns 1 for me inseatd of a (fake) ticket number. Is the the correct behaviour for backtests? I want to select the (just) opened order to read some information from it.
