MT5 Position History Information

New comment
 

Hello,

I am struggling to find a way to get Position history data using MQL5, specifically finding the final stop loss value.

It seems that using HistoryOrder and HistoryDeal functions cannot find the last stop loss value which as far as I remember was possible on MQL4 by using 

OrderSelect(pos, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY)

Please advise how I can retrieve the final stop loss of a closed trade on MQL5, thanks!

 
  1. Select the History by the position identifier — HistorySelectByPosition
  2. Scan the Deals — HistoryDealsTotal, HistoryDealGetTicket
  3. Find the deals where the "reason" is hitting stop-loss. — HistoryDealGetInteger, DEAL_REASON = DEAL_REASON_SL
  4. Retrieve the deal price (i.e. stop-loss price) — HistoryDealGetDouble, DEAL_PRICE
EDIT: Attention! Depending on market/exchange type and/or filling mode, you have may multiple deals at different prices for hitting the stop-loss.

I see, but if I wanted to get the stop loss value of ALL trades regardless of how they were closed to be able to provide the same data as in the client history tab for Positions:

Yep, this returns zero despite the only trade on this test account having a closing SL of 1.34189:

Ah. Does this only work if the trade was closed by stop loss?

Any. Like MT4.
