OpenedOrders HOW
Example from file: examples/demos/lowlevel/01_general_operations.go¶
The
OpenedOrders()method returns all active orders and open positions on the trading account. This is one of the key methods for monitoring the current state of the account.It allows you to get at once:
- A list of open market positions (PositionInfos);
- A list of pending orders awaiting execution (OpenedOrders).
🧩 Code example¶
fmt.Println("\n5.2. OpenedOrders() - Get all opened orders & positions")
openedOrdersReq := &pb.OpenedOrdersRequest{
InputSortMode: pb.BMT5_ENUM_OPENED_ORDER_SORT_TYPE_OPENED_ORDER_SORT_BY_OPEN_TIME,
}
openedOrdersData, err := account.OpenedOrders(ctx, openedOrdersReq)
if err != nil {
helpers.PrintShortError(err, "OpenedOrders failed")
} else {
// Direct field access: OpenedOrders and PositionInfos
totalOrders := len(openedOrdersData.OpenedOrders) + len(openedOrdersData.PositionInfos)
fmt.Printf(" Total opened orders/positions: %d\n", totalOrders)
fmt.Printf(" Pending orders: %d\n", len(openedOrdersData.OpenedOrders))
fmt.Printf(" Open positions: %d\n", len(openedOrdersData.PositionInfos))
// Show first 2 positions if any exist
maxShow := 2
if len(openedOrdersData.PositionInfos) < maxShow {
maxShow = len(openedOrdersData.PositionInfos)
}
for i := 0; i < maxShow; i++ {
pos := openedOrdersData.PositionInfos[i]
fmt.Printf("\n Position #%d:\n", i+1)
fmt.Printf(" Ticket: %d\n", pos.Ticket)
fmt.Printf(" Symbol: %s\n", pos.Symbol)
fmt.Printf(" Type: %v\n", pos.Type)
fmt.Printf(" Volume: %.2f\n", pos.Volume)
fmt.Printf(" Price Open: %.5f\n", pos.PriceOpen)
fmt.Printf(" Current Price: %.5f\n", pos.PriceCurrent)
fmt.Printf(" Profit: %.2f\n", pos.Profit)
}
}
🟢 Detailed Code Explanation¶
openedOrdersReq := &pb.OpenedOrdersRequest{
InputSortMode: pb.BMT5_ENUM_OPENED_ORDER_SORT_TYPE_OPENED_ORDER_SORT_BY_OPEN_TIME,
}
A request is created with a sort mode parameter. The method accepts InputSortMode to control how results are sorted:
OPENED_ORDER_SORT_BY_OPEN_TIME(0) - sort by open timeOPENED_ORDER_SORT_BY_CLOSE_TIME(1) - sort by close timeOPENED_ORDER_SORT_BY_TICKET_ID(2) - sort by ticket ID
A gRPC request OpenedOrders() is sent to the MetaTrader server.
The gateway returns a structure with two lists:
OpenedOrders— all pending orders (awaiting execution);PositionInfos— all active open positions.
totalOrders := len(openedOrdersData.OpenedOrders) + len(openedOrdersData.PositionInfos)
fmt.Printf(" Total opened orders/positions: %d\n", totalOrders)
fmt.Printf(" Pending orders: %d\n", len(openedOrdersData.OpenedOrders))
fmt.Printf(" Open positions: %d\n", len(openedOrdersData.PositionInfos))
The total number of active elements is calculated: orders + positions. Then the number of pending orders and active positions is output separately.
Example output:
maxShow := 2
if len(openedOrdersData.PositionInfos) < maxShow {
maxShow = len(openedOrdersData.PositionInfos)
}
Limits the number of displayed positions (for the example - no more than two), to keep the console readable.
for i := 0; i < maxShow; i++ {
pos := openedOrdersData.PositionInfos[i]
fmt.Printf("\n Position #%d:\n", i+1)
fmt.Printf(" Ticket: %d\n", pos.Ticket)
fmt.Printf(" Symbol: %s\n", pos.Symbol)
fmt.Printf(" Type: %v\n", pos.Type)
fmt.Printf(" Volume: %.2f\n", pos.Volume)
fmt.Printf(" Price Open: %.5f\n", pos.PriceOpen)
fmt.Printf(" Current Price: %.5f\n", pos.PriceCurrent)
fmt.Printf(" Profit: %.2f\n", pos.Profit)
}
Iterates through the list of positions and outputs the main parameters of each:
- Ticket — unique position identifier;
- Symbol — instrument symbol (e.g.,
EURUSD); - Type — direction (BUY / SELL);
- Volume — position volume;
- PriceOpen — opening price;
- PriceCurrent — current market price;
- Profit — current floating profit or loss.

🧠 What It's Used For¶
The OpenedOrders() method is used:
- to monitor all active deals and orders on the account;
- to restore the state of positions when starting a trading robot;
- for analyzing current profit/loss;
- when creating custom interfaces and monitoring dashboards;
- for logging and reporting.
💬 In Simple Terms¶
OpenedOrders()shows everything that is currently active on the account: open positions and pending orders — with tickets, prices, volumes, and profits. This is the main method for monitoring and visualizing trading state.
