AccountBalance
 
if (OrderType() == 6) //deposit
calculate your values
 

How is that helpful ??

OrderType only has a value of 0 to 5

. . .

OrderType only has a value of 0 to 5

Correct. However, there seems to be (at least in b509) two undocumented enumerations: OrderType() == 6 means balance; and OrderType() == 7 means credit.

I didn't know that, but still fail to see how it can be useful

if (OrderType() == 6) //deposit
calculate your values

The if can only return true or false

So how to retrieve the balance using this?

 
i don't understand why you are arguing

have you tried the code before you say something?

let me tell you a secret even in B625 it works

for(int i = OrdersHistoryTotal() -1; i >= 0; i--)
   {
   if(OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY))
      {
      if (OrderType() == 6)
         {
         Alert("The Deposit Was ", OrderProfit(), " ", AccountCurrency());
         }
      }
   }

The codes works only if you make right click and chose All History in Account history, rather than, it will gives nothing, but if i need it for making calculations depends on long terms, calculations will differ .

Thanks to fx2013's reply, I enabled all history and I now see that the initial deposit actually has a ticket number and that the deposit is actually shown in the profit column and the type is shown as balance
