EA Error code 131

[Michael Breu]

Hello,

I got an EA from a friend, but I do have problems with the Error 131 which I learnt means, that the calculated trade volume is not allowed by the broker. Is there somebody who could fix the .mq4 code an add in a trade volume check before the OrderSend function is executed.

I am not able to get it fixed by myself.


If you can help me out, let me know and I will send you the .mq4 code.

Thanks in advance.



Regards

Michael

Just post up the block of code dealing with the ordersend - most people won't want to wade through all the other code anyway if it is just a 131 error.

You can use the SRC button when attaching code.

if (g_lots_508 > 100.0) g_lots_508 = 100;
         OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, g_lots_508, NormalizeDouble(g_bid_492,Digits), g_slippage_464, g_price_468, g_price_476, g_comment_336, MagicNumber, 0, g_color_436);
         return;
      }

That looks awfully like decompiled code which is not allowed here. Besides, always lookup the error code's meaning - in this case Error 131 is "Invalid Trade Volume".

Always check your volume against the Broker's Maximum, Minimum and Step Size (MODE_MAXLOT, MODE_MINLOT, MODE_LOTSTEP) before blindly applying it to an order.

Ask the owner of the source code to give it to you or have him fix it for you.

Decompiled code is stolen code. Either you are a thief, a fence, or the receiver of stolen (intellectual) property. Either way we will not be an accomplice after the fact to theft. See also https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/134317#comment_3411571

If you post decompiled code again, you will likely be banned.

Don't tell us you found it on the 'net: if someone stole your bank details and uploaded them on to the internet, is it OK for everyone to use them because "someone uploaded it, I don't know why I can't use that"?
