Getting Opened Order Tickets
Request: fetch only the tickets (IDs) of currently opened orders Retrieve a lightweight ticket list without full order details.
Code Example
// --- Quick use (service wrapper) ---
await _service.ShowOpenedOrderTickets();
// --- Low-level (direct account call) ---
// Preconditions: account is connected via ConnectByServerName/ConnectByHostPort.
var result = await _mt4.OpenedOrdersTicketsAsync(
deadline: null,
cancellationToken: default);
foreach (var ticket in result.Tickets)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Open Order Ticket: {ticket}");
}
Method Signatures
// Service wrapper (example implementation)
Task ShowOpenedOrderTickets();
// Low-level account call
Task<OpenedOrdersTicketsData> OpenedOrdersTicketsAsync(
DateTime? deadline = null,
CancellationToken cancellationToken = default
);
🔽 Input
No required parameters.
Optional:
deadline(DateTime?) — optional UTC deadline for the call.cancellationToken(CancellationToken) — optional cancellation token.
⬆️ Output
Returns OpenedOrdersTicketsData with:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Tickets |
List<int> |
List of ticket IDs for currently open orders. |
Each ticket is an int that uniquely identifies an open trade in MT4.
🎯 Purpose
Use this when you only need IDs, e.g. for quick matching/sync, or to feed targeted operations like Close/Delete or Close By without fetching full order rows. Minimal bandwidth versus OpenedOrdersAsync().
🧩 Notes & Tips
- Int32 boundary. MT4 tickets are
int. If your app stores them aslong, ensure values fit intoInt32before sending to close/modify APIs. - Empty ≠ error. An empty list simply means there are no open orders right now.
- Freshness. In volatile markets, fetch tickets right before acting; another process may open/close orders in between.
⚠️ Pitfalls
- Race conditions. A ticket can disappear between listing and action; handle
ApiExceptionMT4from subsequent calls (e.g., Ticket not found).
🧪 Testing Suggestions
- Happy path. Open a small market order; verify its ticket appears in the list.
- No orders. Close all trades and confirm the method returns an empty
Ticketslist without errors.
