OrderSend Error

[Deleted] 2015.12.09 12:34

Hello,

i know you may have read this like 100 times and this may get on your nerves now but i have a big problem with OrderSend Error 130.

I literally can do what i want and still get this error but maybe you have an idea what i am doing wrong.

Would be really happy if someone could tell me what could be false.

Sincerely

Ttromberino

PS: The ......... stands for some code like ordermodify etc.

extern double Lots = 0.2;
extern string Start = "09:15"; // Start the EA
extern string Ende = "17:00";  // Finish the EA
int OldBar = 0;

bool dc_long(){
   if(Close[3] < Open[3] && Close[2] > Open[2] && Close[1] > Open[1] && Close[2] < Close[1])
      return (true);
   else
      return (false);
   }

...................

double sl_long = Open[2];
double sl_short = Open[2];

int start()
{
//--- 1 Check per bar
   if(OldBar != Bars)
   {
      if (TimeCurrent() >= StrToTime(TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(), TIME_DATE) + " " + Start) && TimeCurrent() <= StrToTime(TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(), TIME_DATE) + " " + Ende)) {
         
         int ticket_long;
         int ticket_short;
         int total = OrdersTotal();
         
         if(OrdersTotal() == 0 && dc_long() == true)
         {
            ticket_long=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,10,sl_long,0, "My Order",16384,0,Green);   
            if(ticket_long < 0) {
               Print("OrderSend ",ticket_long," long with error #",GetLastError());
            } else{
               Print("OrderSend ",ticket_long," long successfully #" + string(ticket_long));
            }

         }
............
      } OldBar = Bars;
   }
return(0);
}

if(condition) return true else return false same as return condition;	if(Close[3] < Open[3] && Close[2] > Open[2] && Close[1] > Open[1] && Close[2] < Close[1]) return (true); else return (false); }
simplified	return Close[3] < Open[3] && Close[2] > Open[2] && Close[1] > Open[1] && Close[2] < Close[1];

if(condition) return true else return false
same as
return condition;

   if(Close[3] < Open[3] && Close[2] > Open[2] && Close[1] > Open[1] && Close[2] < Close[1])
      return (true);
   else
      return (false);
   }

simplified

return Close[3] < Open[3] && Close[2] > Open[2] && Close[1] > Open[1] && Close[2] < Close[1];

double sl_long = Open[2];
double sl_short = Open[2];

int start(){
   :
   ticket_long=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,10,sl_long,0, "My Order",16384,0,Green);

You never update sl_long except on load.

Hey Roeder, thank you very much for your help :-)

I changed the condition as you showed and it really makes the code much easier.

But what does the : mean?

And i´m not sure what you mean with update the sl_long...something like this(?):

         for(int i=0;i<=total-1;i++) {
            if(OrdersTotal() > 0 && OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS) && OrderType() == OP_BUY && OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderCloseTime()==0  ){
               if(OrderStopLoss()< sl_long) {
                  bool ordermodify = OrderModify(ticket_long,OrderOpenPrice(),sl_long,0,0,Green);
                  if(ordermodify = false)
                     Print("LONG Stoploss von Order",OrderTicket()," wurde NICHT nachgezogen",GetLastError());
                  else
                     Print("LONG Stoploss von Order",OrderTicket()," wurde nachgezogen");
               }
            }
         }

It´s a simple ordermodify function after the Ordersend function.... but i don´t get why the ea still opens no order..

Again thanks for your help and your patience with a newbie :)

Best regards

TTromberino: But what does the : mean? And i´m not sure what you mean with update the sl_long...something like this(?):	ellipsis. 1, 2, ..., 9. horizontal 1 2 : 9. vertical No, sl_long is never assigned new values; not updated.

Thank you very much! It´s working now!

I´m sorry, but something seems still not working right:

When the EA opens an order he gives it a stoploss with more than 1000 points.

And he doesn´t open short orders with error 130. I think this is caused by the stoploss, but i don´t know how to fix it.

I have to add that i use this ea on renkocharts. But it should work on normal charts aswell.

The funny thing is: In that moment when the price is going above the opening price of the order he immediately puts the stoploss to the right place.

And with short orders: He doesn´t even open them. But i have no idea why because the stoploss should be correct....i think.

The stoploss ist just: Open[2]; (see int start -> stoplossdefinition, or for() and then the ordermodifyfunction.

So normally this isn´t very complex at all and i don´t get why he puts the stoploss that far away.

Thanks for your help and patience.
