Question for the developers. Does the exchange broadcast open interest synchronously with volumes for each transaction (in times&sales) or asynchronously?

If synchronously, then it would be nice to put it in MqlTick... instead of getting it through SymbolInfoDouble.

I am waiting for update to build 1200. To checkCopyTicks

The build 1200 was already available for update from MetaQuites-Demo server three or four days ago.
 

Afternoon

Can you please advise why the SL and TP columns in the orders section are not filled in the report from the MT5 terminal?

Error in MT5 terminal, build 1200 from 23.10.15 (alpari).

In previous build everything was working correctly (!).

The CopyRates() function started to indicate dates incorrectly (probably, other bar data as well).

Here is an example of a short test program (Expert Advisor):

==================================================

datetime c_DStart=D'01.01.2015';
datetime c_DEnd=D'26.10.2015';

int i;
int MaxBars;

MqlRates a_RatesAll[];

//----------------------------------

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert initialization function|
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
{
//---
ArraySetAsSeries(a_RatesAll,true);

//---
return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| ChartEvent function|
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnChartEvent(const int id,
const long &lparam,

{

}
else if(id==CHARTEVENT_KEYDOWN && lparam==48) // "0"
{

}
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//====================================================================
void DateTimeRates(datetime DStart, datetime DEnd)
{
if ((DStart>0) && (DEnd>0))
{
MaxBars=CopyRates(Symbol(),0,DStart,DEnd,a_RatesAll);
if(MaxBars<=0) Print("Error of price data copying ",GetLastError());
else
{
Print(" ");
Print(EnumToString(ChartPeriod(0));
Print("Copied ",ArraySize(a_RatesAll)," bars);
}
}
for (i=MaxBars-1;i>=0;i--)
{
Print(a_RatesAll[i].time);
}
}
//====================================================================
==================================================

If I specify a start date of the time series later than 14.10.15, all bar dates are reset:

HS 0 09:49:42.561 DateTimeCopyRates (EURUSD,M5)
PM 0 09:49:42.561 DateTimeCopyRates (EURUSD,M5) PERIOD_M5
LE 0 09:49:42.561 DateTimeCopyRates (EURUSD,M5) 2406 bars copied

GS 0 09:49:42.561 DateTimeCopyRates (EURUSD,M5) 1970.01.01 00:00:00

...

etc.


If I specify an start date of 14.10.15 or earlier, the time-series dates start a few weeks to a few months late.

Here's an example with a start date of 14.10.15, the time series starts on 26.10.15:

CS 0 09:53:02.383 DateTimeCopyRates (EURUSD,M5)
KM 0 09:53:02.383 DateTimeCopyRates (EURUSD,M5) PERIOD_M5
GE 0 09:53:02.383 DateTimeCopyRates (EURUSD,M5) 2695 bars copied

Here is an example with a start date of 01.01.15, the series starts from 12.05.15:

Add another request to Service Desk to get it fixed sooner!
 

Unable to retrieve SeriesInfoInteger() data from INDICATOR! MT4

Please look at request#1337152

 
Karputov Vladimir:

Not true. In the report the fields are filled in:

Yes, I'm sorry, at first the order leaves with zero TP and SL

but then I modify the position (SL and TP)

and this data is not included in the report.

 
Alexey Kozitsyn:

Should MT5 functions work in MT4?
 
Alexey Klenov:

Yes, I'm sorry, at first the order leaves with zero TP and SL

but then I modify the position (SL and TP)

and this data will not be included in the report.

What exactly doesn't show up in the report (and is this about the pending order or the position?)

  1. after the SL and TP have been modified, are the SL and TP fields empty in the report?
  2. or do you want to see a log of all your modifications in the report?

 
Ilya Malev:
Are MT5 functions supposed to work in MT4?
This one does, see the documentation. Moreover, I haven't described everything here. It works, but not always. And this is an error for sure.
