13	Craig66 2006.10.26 22:14 I was under the impression that the numerical order of the MODE_HISTORY collection was not the order in which the trades were closed. Therefore one has to find the closed trade with the biggest timestamp, can somebody at Metaquotes clarify this?

I worked my way through the above function and it seems to correctly identify the last closed order. It worked fine for me because I have only one order open at a time. But I understand that others who want to use the function for multiple simultaneous orders, this may need to be worked out more thoroughly and delicately.
