MT4 Order Events

Hi everyone,

It's been some time since I posted here. Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm this holiday season

Question: Is there such a thing as an OrderSend event or OrderModify/Close event which can be listened to in order to do further processing? I understand there is OrderSend function etc, but I am interested in events.

It probably doesn't make sense but what I need to do is, call a function whenever there is any order related activity.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Event handling in MQL4 doesn't exist - much too advanced a concept.

MQL5 does have event handling and I believe it will do what you want, but you should read the doc to be sure.

For now, you have to check every order for every incoming tick to see if something changed.

Grrrr... thats what I thought, that sucks.

Thanks for your reply CodeMeister. Much appreciated.

hey doc..... you should be able to call a function just after any action taken by orderselect....

orderselect might be called every tick but no action might be taken.... those would be overlooked...... once an action, order related activity , is taken your function could be called.....

similar to print() or getlasterror().....

such functions, which could include ours, are dependent on the result of orderselect......h

Is it possible to listen to order events, not using the mql4, but from a dll?

I suspect not, but it would be good to get others input on this.

So, I wondering if c++ can some how hook into the function calls - or event handling - within MT4 - so that it can listen for when a order is placed?

Thanks
