Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.

Returns one floating point property of a pending order. It reads the order last selected with OrderGetTicket() or OrderSelect().

This is an MQL5 function, not an HTTP endpoint. It has no method, no path and no address to send a request to: it runs inside the MetaTrader 5 terminal, in a program written in MQL5. It is in no OpenAPI file on this site and the request builder does not list it.

## Signature

The 2 forms of the call on the vendor's page, with the vendor's comments taken out.

```mql5
double OrderGetDouble(
  ENUM_ORDER_PROPERTY_DOUBLE property_id
)
```

```mql5
bool OrderGetDouble(
  ENUM_ORDER_PROPERTY_DOUBLE property_id,
  double& double_var
)
```

## Arguments

- `property_id` (type ENUM_ORDER_PROPERTY_DOUBLE, required): Which property to return, as a value of the ENUM_ORDER_PROPERTY_DOUBLE enumeration.
- `double_var` (type double&, required): Only in the second form: the double variable that receives the value.

## Return value

- Type: `double, or bool in the second form`
- What comes back: The page gives two forms: one returns the value itself, the other returns true or false and writes the value into a variable passed by reference. The first form returns 0 when it fails.

## Sample

Written by this site from the signature and arguments recorded on this page. It has not been run against a terminal, a server or an account, and the values in it are placeholders. It holds no credential and needs none: the program runs inside a terminal that is already logged in to an account. Nothing is entered on this site.

```mql5
void OnStart()
  {
   if(OrdersTotal()>0 && OrderGetTicket(0)>0)
      PrintFormat("price %.5f, sl %.5f, tp %.5f",OrderGetDouble(ORDER_PRICE_OPEN),OrderGetDouble(ORDER_SL),OrderGetDouble(ORDER_TP));
  }
```
