<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">This feature is no longer available in '''MultiCharts 15'''.</div>[[File:Viewing Order history viewer's History.png| 1600px|none|order history viewerOrder History Viewer]]
This tool is designed to display the entire order’s route that was performed within MultiCharts, from the moment of order generation to the moment the order was sent to the broker's API. <br>
The purpose of this feature is to provide the ability for MultiCharts users to know every single detail about their orders, like who or what sent the order, why it was sent, what statuses were received for the order and so on. Order History Viewer remembers the setup settings as they were at the moment the order was sent and what could influence it. All of this information is taken from the encrypted and secure storage from the user's machine.
== Understanding the Diagram ==
In the left part of the diagram a multilayer structure is displayed(see the picture in the beginning of the page). It includes the application components that work with the commands and statuses. One can see the following items:
# '''User Interface''' – these are all the buttons and menu components that are intended for manual order placement.
# '''Auto Trading Engine''' – this is the auto trading module. It handles the commands generated by the strategy script and processes the order statuses. It also monitors the broker and chart positions.
== Understanding Informational Blocks ==
[[File:Understanding Informational Blocks.png|none|Informational Blocks]]
Each block in the diagram represents an action that was performed by a certain module.<br>
The block’s caption hints to the nature of these actions.<br>
== Understanding the Order Execution Settings ==
This is an informational window that allows for the viewing of the trading parameters as they were configured in MultiCharts '''at a given historical moment'''.<br>
This snapshot of settings can be called for a specific order in the Order and Position Tracker. To see this on the Orders tab, right-click on the order and select '''Show Order Execution Settings at'''. In this case the snapshot will reflect the settings at the time of the order generation (this time is specified in the '''Generated''' column).<br>
It can also be displayed for any block of the Order History Browser Viewer diagram. To do that click on the block of interest, and the '''Execution Settings''' window will be displayed for that moment.<br>
The '''Execution Settings''' window contains the following information:
# '''Strategy Properties''' – the settings selected for the strategy in the Strategy Properties settings.
# '''<PROFILE_NAME> Broker profile''' – contains the information about the symbol mapping for the symbol. Hovering the mouse over a symbol mapping line displays a hint with details.
<div style="background-color: #bef574;">'''NOTE:''' the The snapshot is for informative purposes only. One cannot change the settings in it. It is just a container of the settings that influenced the order placement or command execution.</div>
