MT4 error when I compile program

New comment
 

Hi, when I try to compile EA I get this error  " Return value of 'OrderSend' needs to be checked". I am trying to create EA based on RSI of two currencies and based on that open trades..

How to resolve this error? 

Regards.

IT is not an error, it is a warning.

You resolve it by checking the return value.

If it returns -1 then you know that there was an error, so you print the error (GetLastError())

I will move this to the MQL4 section.

How about doing what the warning says?

Check your return codes, and report your errors. Don't look at GLE/LE unless you have an error. Don't just silence the compiler, it is trying to help you.

bool OrderResult=OrderSend(...);

 
Mehmet Bastem:

bool OrderResult=OrderSend(...);

Is that it?

Where is the error checking?

OrderSend() does not return a bool. Please read my earlier reply and William's.

int ticket=0;


//-----

ticket=OrderSend(...);

if(ticket<0)
{
Print("OrderSend error (Direction buy or sell here) error : ",GetLastError());
return;
}

why would i need you source code....? i gave you an example of how to code a correct return value for order send,implement it in your code because i'm not going to do it for you!

Need further help from some one interested in doing it? Post all relevant code right here in your thread
