I want to get the amount of open trades in MQL5 on a demo account during strategy testing.
PositionsTotal() and OrdersTotal() always return 0 even if there are open trades.
The solution suggested here does not work.
Any help will be appreciated.
The problem occurred when running the code in the Metatrader 5 downloaded from Metaquotes' website. Running the same code in a Metatrader 5 instance from a forex broker resolved the issue.
