# history_orders_get

Get orders from trading history with the ability to filter by ticket or position. There are three call options.

Call specifying a time interval. Return all orders falling within the specified interval.

```
history_orders_get(
   date_from,                // date the orders are requested from
   date_to,                  // date, up to which the orders are requested
   group="GROUP"        // filter for selecting orders by symbols
   )

```

Call specifying the order ticket. Return an order with the specified ticket.

```
history_orders_get(
   ticket=TICKET        // order ticket
)

```

Call specifying the position ticket. Return all orders with a position ticket specified in the [ORDER_POSITION_ID](/en/docs/constants/tradingconstants/orderproperties#enum_order_property_integer) property.

```
history_orders_get(
   position=POSITION    // position ticket
)

```

Parameters

date_from

[in]  Date the orders are requested from. Set by the 'datetime' object or as a number of seconds elapsed since 1970.01.01. Required unnamed parameter is specified first.

date_to

[in]  Date, up to which the orders are requested. Set by the 'datetime' object or as a number of seconds elapsed since 1970.01.01. Required unnamed parameter is specified second.

group="GROUP"

[in]  The filter for arranging a group of necessary symbols. Optional named parameter. If the group is specified, the function returns only orders meeting a specified criteria for a symbol name.

ticket=TICKET

[in]  Order ticket that should be received. Optional parameter. If not specified, the filter is not applied.

position=POSITION

[in]  Ticket of a position (stored in [ORDER_POSITION_ID](/en/docs/constants/tradingconstants/orderproperties#enum_order_property_integer)) all orders should be received for. Optional parameter. If not specified, the filter is not applied.

Return Value

Return info in the form of a named tuple structure (namedtuple). Return None in case of an error. The info on the error can be obtained using [last_error()](/en/docs/python_metatrader5/mt5lasterror_py).

Note

The function allows receiving all history orders within a specified period in a single call similar to the [HistoryOrdersTotal](/en/docs/trading/historyorderstotal) and [HistoryOrderSelect](/en/docs/trading/historyorderselect) tandem.

The group parameter may contain several comma separated conditions. A condition can be set as a mask using '*'. The logical negation symbol '!' can be used for an exclusion. All conditions are applied sequentially, which means conditions of including to a group should be specified first followed by an exclusion condition. For example, group="*, !EUR" means that deals for all symbols should be selected first and the ones containing "EUR" in symbol names should be excluded afterwards.
