The accompanying zip file includes examples in PHP and MySQL for data saving and verification.

The script utilizes the GET method via ghttp.mqh for HTTP requests, as implemented in the httpget.mqh file.

It uploads any open or pending orders from the terminal at a specified interval, with a default setting of every second.

The script updates changing data such as profit, take profit (TP), or stop loss (SL) for existing trades.

It monitors historical data for order closures or cancellations, transmitting modifications only when an order is definitively closed or canceled.

Data saving is initiated only for currently open and pending orders, excluding historical data. However, once a position is closed, its record will be retained in the database.

To ensure continuous operation, this script must be implemented as an indicator.

It can be attached to any chart and will proceed to scan for any open trades.
