Invalid Filling type error with FxPro demo account

New comment
 
Hi,

I have created an EA which works well for meta quotes demo account. The same EA gives error 10030, invalid filling type, when I use FxPro demo account. I tried using FOK as well as IOC, none of them work.

I am using CTrade standard class library to place order. I checked with FxPro on supported Symbol_Filling_mode. It's IOC.

Here is the code I am using

         
 
     CTrade CT;
      CPositionInfo PI;

      MqlTradeRequest trdReq;
      MqlTradeResult trdResult;


     CT.Request(trdReq);  
 
         trdReq.action = TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;
         trdReq.magic = 9000786;
         trdReq.symbol = Symbol();
         trdReq.volume = lotBuy;
         trdReq.type = ORDER_TYPE_BUY;
         trdReq.type_filling = ORDER_FILLING_IOC;
        
   
      string sb = Symbol();
        bool ordSendRes = CT.Buy(lotBuy,sb);


It will be great if someone can help.

Regards.

Hello,

Please use the SRC button when you post code. Thank you.


This time, I edited it for you.

How ? where in your code did you check ?

Also it should be like this :

      MqlTradeRequest trdReq={0};
      MqlTradeResult trdResult={0};

I have not checked it in the code. I contacted FxPro to check what should be order filling type. They suggested IOC. For testing purpose I used SystemInfoInteger function which returns 2.

Surprisingly, this code works perfect with meta quotes demo account.

I have added following code in my class.

bool TradeManager::IsFillingTypeAllowed(string symbol,int fill_type)
                {
                                int filling = (int)SymbolInfoInteger(symbol,SYMBOL_FILLING_MODE);
                                
                                return((filling & fill_type)==fill_type);
                }  


void TradeManager::SetFillingType()
{
   if(IsFillingTypeAllowed(Symbol(),SYMBOL_FILLING_FOK))
     {
      fillType=ORDER_FILLING_FOK;
     }
   else if(IsFillingTypeAllowed(Symbol(),SYMBOL_FILLING_IOC))
     {
      fillType=ORDER_FILLING_IOC;
     }
   else 
     {
      fillType=ORDER_FILLING_RETURN;
     }
}

This code is setting fillType to 1. By the MQL documentation, the fill type 1 is FOK and not IOC. Am I missing anything here?

 
Show your last code used to send a request.

This is the code to send order

        
         SetFillingType();

         CT.Request(trdReq);   
         trdReq.action          = TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;
         trdReq.magic           = 9000786;
         trdReq.symbol          = Symbol();
         trdReq.volume          = lotBuy;
         trdReq.type            = ORDER_TYPE_BUY;
         trdReq.type_filling    = fillType;
        
   
        string sb = Symbol();
        //bool ordSendRes = OrderSend(trdReq,trdResult);
        bool ordSendRes = CT.Buy(lotBuy,sb);
        

And this is setFillingType Method

void TradeManager::SetFillingType()
{
   if(IsFillingTypeAllowed(Symbol(),SYMBOL_FILLING_FOK))
     {
      fillType=ORDER_FILLING_FOK;
     }
   else if(IsFillingTypeAllowed(Symbol(),SYMBOL_FILLING_IOC))
     {
      fillType=ORDER_FILLING_IOC;
     }
   else 
     {
      fillType=ORDER_FILLING_RETURN;
     }
}

bool TradeManager::IsFillingTypeAllowed(string symbol,int fill_type)
                {
                                int filling = (int)SymbolInfoInteger(symbol,SYMBOL_FILLING_MODE);
                                
                                return((filling & fill_type)==fill_type);
                }

Seems correct but impossible to check as we can't compile this code.
