EA failure due to micro account suffix--GBPJPYm?

New comment
 

Hi all

Have an ea that works perfectly on regular accounts but generates 4109--"Trade-not allowed" error when micro account requires symbol with "m" added, as in header.

Does anyone know of a work around?

Have confirmed that live trade is checked; unfortunately the broker is in denial mode and I haven't found a solution searching here.

All suggestions appreciated.

Keith

Where ? you can set it in 2 places . . in MT4 and in the EA

You code is BROKEN. Most likely it is hard coded to trade "EURUSD" or some other pair, which fails when the symbol form is different. (Broker's use a variety of naming patterns: EURUSD, EURUSDm, EURUSDi, "EURUSD.", "EURUSD..", "EUR.USD", "EUR/USD", "EURUSD.stp", EURUSDct, "EURUSD.G", "EURUSD+", EURUSDpro at least.)

Recode your EA to trade the chart pair (Use NULL not a string for most calls, Symbol() in marketInfo).

Thanks Raptor, enabled at both locations already.

Does this Broker allow EAs on this type of account ?

Thanks for the suggestion have changed order OrderSend, symbol parameter to NULL from Symbol().

Will update shortly.

You can also check that trading is allowed on this symbol.

MODE_TRADEALLOWED22Trade is allowed for the symbol.

Ok finally forced an attempted trade and now get error 4062 ERR_STRING_PARAMETER_EXPECTED

Not sure why I got that but gives me the idea that maybe I should code the name right into the OrderSend command, will try that and report back.

It's better to show a snippet of code.

Yes, they advise that they are not blocking the trade, it appears that metatrader is not sending the order, in other words meta trader does not recognise the GBPJPYm as a valid parameter for OrderSend.

As mentioned will insert actual name into OrderSend and see what happens.
