MT4 History

Does anybody please know how to only feed account history from a certain date permanently please? I am testing an EA and auto publishing the statement but every time I close MT4 then re open it I get all the history on the account. So everything gets published. It also happens when I lose connection which is more annoying.

Right now, at the time of this post, I have it how I want it, showing just today's trades. All future trades will be shown from today. Is there a filter I can apply somewhere other than just in the account history on MT4 because, as I said, when I lose connection, even for a second, everything resets itself to default - all history - which is irrelevant for this test and makes the success or failure unclear if results are included from prior tests.

Ladies and gentlemen, please, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm off to bed now but if there are any thoughts I'll put them in to action in 8 hours and thank you in anticipation.

What I would do is everytime I run the account history I would place a date in a global variable. This value is saved and not lost when you turn off mt4 or lose a connection. This can be done with a globalvariableset and globalvariableget. You then read that data before proceeding.

I'm sorry magnumfreak but I don't know where to place that or what it is. The EA is not mine and I can't edit it. If that has any relevance, just a guess.

Hi,

You can simply filter the trades that have OrderOpenTime (or OrderCloseTime) earlier than todays start time.

Possibly it will look like this (inside the order history checking loop):

if (OrderOpenTime() < D'13.05.2008') continue;

I have not checked this fully. You have to play with this to get it correct.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

You won't find it. You have to insert the following code inside your EA after the "if" statement that analyzes the Order history.

PHP Code
 if (OrderOpenTime() < D'13.05.2008') continue;
Sorry. I missed to see that you don't have the code. Without code, nothing can be done. You can ask the person who made the EA to insert such an option.

Regards,
chandra

I will do that. Thanks Chandra.


And you're correct Oksana17. More detail here.
