VR Order History trading report in Excel

Professional course on programming robots for MetaTrader

Review

The VR Orders History script is designed to upload a trade report to a csv file. This format is intended for additional analysis of trading history in programs such as EXCEL, Openoffice, and Libreoffice. Thanks to the script, it is now much easier for a trader to analyze their trading history.

The program facilitates the analysis of the trading history for the MetaTrader 5 terminal. The trader sees structured trading. The entire report is based on the following principle: Position > Order on the basis of which the position was opened > Transaction on the basis of which the position was opened.

In the report created by the script, the trader can see the hidden fees, the prices at which the position was requested to open, and the real price at which the position was opened. The report also displays information about the replenishment of the balance and other non-trading transactions.

The program settings allow you to filter trading operations by a financial instrument, by a Magic number, and by the period of a trading transaction.

The program was written to facilitate the understanding and analysis of the trading process in MetaTrader 5. This is why the report for MetaTrader 5 differs from the report for MetaTrader 4. The architecture of trading orders in MetaTrader 5 has a more complex structure than the architecture of MetaTrader 4.
