int OrderSend( string symbol, // symbol int cmd, // operation double volume, // volume double price, // price int slippage, // slippage double stoploss, // stop loss double takeprofit, // take profit string comment=NULL, // comment int magic=0, // magic number datetime expiration=0, // pending order expiration color arrow_color=clrNONE // color );
Just add a comment to your order. If you want an arrow to mark the open and close just assign a color to "arrow_color"
Also a tp or sl will appear in trade history, if you add a comment it will show up comment[tp] or comment[sl]
eg:
int order=OrderSend(NULL, OP_BUY, LOT, Ask, 3, sl, tp, comment, magic_Num, 0, clrBlue)
Thank you! By the way, is it possible to leave a comment when close order? If so, I can tell order was closed which way.

With mql4 ?
If you are using the CTrade library, you can hack in a little code to put a comment in there.
Of course, you will want to put this in your own library because the next time MetaTrader updates the standard library, the change will be lost.
Hello again,
Maybe you could try playing around with something like this.
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void IT(){ double ask,bid,Spread; ask=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_ASK); bid=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_BID); Spread=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SPREAD); Comment(StringFormat("Show prices\nAsk = %G\nBid = %G\nSpread = %d",ask,bid,Spread)); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
As you can see below OrderClose doesn't allow comment.
bool OrderClose( int ticket, // ticket double lots, // volume double price, // close price int slippage, // slippage color arrow_color // color );
Thank you so much! I will try another way.

Is it possible to know if the order was closed by
1. normal tp/sl
2. Manual close
3. closed by **pip
4. closed by profit dollers.
etc.....
Is it possible to put mark (comments?) when CloseOrder?
If it is possible to leave a foot print, I think I can know the order was closed by 1 or 2 or 3.
Any good ideas??
