New article Orders, Positions, and Deals in MetaTrader 5 is published:

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.

How to select history orders/ deals/ position by incremental indexing.

Such as:

    for(uint i = uint(HistoryDealsTotal()-1); i >= 0; i--)
    {
    if(deal.SelectByIndex(i) == true)
    {
    //--my data
    }
    }

Is it possible?

Thanks for such an informative article. @MetaQuotes

Query: How can I collectively loop through both : open orders and open positions in a single for() loop (in a similar way how we loop all orders in MQL4 and then check if an order is already executed or a pending order) ?

To calculate POSITIONS and PENDING ORDERS you must use two independent cycles. One cycle enumerates POSITIONS, and the second cycle enumerates PENDED ORDERS. Example: Calculate Positions and Pendong Orders

Hi, folks!

It would be helpful that @MetaQuotes upgrade this article with Trade Classes (CAccountInfo, CSymbolInfo, COrderInfo, CHistoryOrderInfo, CPositionInfo, CDealInfo, CTrade, CTerminalInfo). Develop EA under Object-Oriented paradigm could modify (and simplify) this operations of synchronize cache and to get data over symbols, orders, positions, deals, trades, etc.

Am I right?
