Detect order close manually

[bodojan468]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying  to detect an order opened by my EA and closed manually.

I tried with magic number but, unfortunately,  get only 0 for manually closed orders.

Anyone know how to reliable detect an order opened by an EA and closed manually ?

Thank you

Magic number 0 means that the order was closed manually.

You can monitor OrdersTotal() for increase and decrease in orders.

Thank @marco @fxsaber

What i'm trying to do is to count the monthly/weekly profit for a given pair. Sometimes when price goes against trend I close my position manually and I realized  that my code doesnt manage orders closed manually.

After trying many things I think I have to loop on positions and not on deals because positions keeps the magic number info like MT4.

So my next steps are:

• loop on deals (HistoryDealsTotal)
• select a deal y its index (HistoryDealGetTicket)
• add deal's position to an array
• loop through this array and get the information I need

Do you think it's the good way to achieve it ?

I ask because it's what I tried but I think I do something wrong when handle the array
