Pending Order Regarded As Live Order

miko.szy 2014.06.19 14:25

Hi,

I'm facing a strange issue.

I have a "Flag" order, a Pending order (OP_BUYLIMIT / OP_SELLLIMIT) with a specific comment.

This order, could be triggered when market moves very quick, and my CloseOrders function closes this "triggered flag order", by checking with its OrderType, OP_BUY / OP_SELL.

However, MQL4 OrderClose function picks up the non-triggered order in my CloseOrders function, and keeps generating the error code 4108 with the message "pending order #179289705 cannot be closed".

00:09:46 H1SModelAuto USDCAD,H1: strH1SpanSideFlag = 3 // Taken from OrderType(); SELL Limit

00:09:46 H1SModelAuto USDCAD,H1: pending order #179290291 cannot be closed

00:09:46 H1SModelAuto USDCAD,H1: H1_CloseOrders(): OrderClose() function returned the error of 4108

SRC has been attached below.

else if(strComnt == strH1SpanSideFlag) is the place where it is checking the specific flag I'm talking about.

I also attached a screenshot that shows the pending order 179290291. (Time difference between server and local is 5 hours.)

If anybody has heard similar story and has any idea how I could avoid this problem, it would be much appreciated if you could share the information!
