Method to get Times & Trades

[marcopipino]

Hi, is there a method to take the times & trade data ? Or its a enhancement ?

Hello. Can you clarify what mql functions do you want to see in MtApi? Can you give me more information about data you needed or web link?

I mean that Metaqoutes does not yet provide a function for MQL5 so far.

Hi vdemydiuk,

I think i can use mtApi method = _mtApiClient.CopyTicks(TimeSeriesValues.SymbolValue) . But when execute this method, i get less data than my data in times and Trades windows from mql5 like my print above.

I want to sum trades , when a lasttrade was at the ask or at the bid . In MLQ5 the sample code would be like this .

MqlTick last_tick[];

  int received=CopyTicks(_Symbol,last_tick,COPY_TICKS_TRADE,0,1);
  int AtBuy ;
  int AtSell ;

  int ticks=ArraySize(last_tick);       

  for(int i=0;i<ticks;i++) 

    { 
        bool buy_tick=((last_tick[i].flags&TICK_FLAG_BUY)==TICK_FLAG_BUY);
        bool sell_tick=((last_tick[i].flags&TICK_FLAG_SELL)==TICK_FLAG_SELL);

        if (buy_tick) 
           {  
              AtBuy= AtBuy+ last_tick[i].volume;
           }
        else if (sell_tick)
           {  
              AtSell= AtSell+ last_tick[i].volume;
           }
     }
