Order fill time in MQL5

[dakr2019]

I'm getting a bit frustrated on how to get order fill time in MQL5. Used the following just to get the information from the last order.

HistorySelect(0,TimeCurrent()); 
ulong first_order,last_order,orders=HistoryOrdersTotal(); 
last_order=HistoryOrderGetTicket(0); 
datetime ordertimedone = HistoryOrderGetInteger(last_order,ORDER_TIME_DONE);

My confusion/frustrations are:

1) MQL5 doesn't register any order in HistoryOrdersTotal until it is filled.

2) The time returned seemed to be wrong:

• In this example the order was placed at 03:10.
• PositionsTotal() and HistoryOrdersTotal() only returned 1 at 03:14 which indicates it took a few minutes to fill
• At 03:14, ordertimedone above returned 03:10 which is the time the order was placed, not filled
• Before 03:14, ordertime returned 01.01.1970 00:00:00

What is the easiest way to get the time orders are placed and filled? I want to do this check inside OnTick

I note that in MQL5 OrdersTotal(0) returns number of pending orders, where  OrdersTotal() in MQL4 returned number of both market and pending orders.

What is the problem actually ? There is not, just your understanding about how it works is incomplete.

Maybe this article will help.
