I need your help as soon as possible, because I'm going to go crazy trying to find a logical answer, and I don't know where to find it. So that's why I come to you. Turns out I need to sum the order types in the Book by order type. But by doing the same example and running it in python for mql5. It gives me the same 2 types of orders. order type 1 and order type 2. I need to know which of them corresponds to sales, and which number represents purchases, in order to accumulate the volumes by price and type of order, it cannot guess something that in the num_book_type references it does not have, If at least those numbers had already been defined there, I would have an indefinite joy, but for the moment I am very sad.
please help.
