Position not opened despite trade.ResultRetcodeDescription() returncode = 10008

[emperor14]

Hi,

I'm currently testing an EA on multiple currencies. For the most part, it works ok, but has big troubles with requotes. I've intentionally set deviation to 10000 points just to see if this will help, which isn't the case unfortunately. 

Here's the code I'm using (PositionerTrade = 1) is preventing multiple position openings. 

   if(Signal == "1.0")
     {
      if(!trade.Buy(PositionSize, _Symbol, 0.0, Ask-ATR_coeff*myATRValue, Ask + ATR_coeff*myATRValue, NULL))
        {
         //--- failure message
         Print("Buy() method failed. Return code=",trade.ResultRetcode(),
               ". Code description: ",trade.ResultRetcodeDescription());
        }
      else
        {
         Print("Buy() method executed successfully. Return code=",trade.ResultRetcode(),
               " (",trade.ResultRetcodeDescription(),")");
         PositionerTrade = 1;
         break;
        }
     }
   if(Signal == "-1.0")
     {
      if(!trade.Sell(PositionSize, _Symbol, 0.0, Bid+ATR_coeff*myATRValue, Bid - ATR_coeff*myATRValue, NULL))
        {
         //--- failure message
         Print("Buy() method failed. Return code=",trade.ResultRetcode(),
               ". Code description: ",trade.ResultRetcodeDescription());
        }
      else
        {
         Print("Buy() method executed successfully. Return code=",trade.ResultRetcode(),
               " (",trade.ResultRetcodeDescription(),")");
         PositionerTrade = 1;
         break;
        }
     }

For example, the last 3 orders are below. The first 2 were executed succefully, while the 3rd one wasn't.

EA prints (result of trade.ResultRetcode() and trade.ResultRetcodeDescription())

I'd like to have a loop created that keeps opening orders until 1 is succesfull. However I'm unable to do this with the return code 10008 as it's obviously coming back for successfull and unsuccessfull orders. I understand there's also a 10009 code, but that doesn't seem to be coming back as feedback when checking. Would really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

Please insert the code correctly - using the button

Apologies, I'm new to forum posting, thanks for the heads up on code formatting. I've edited my question now as suggested.

Hi,

can anyone help with this?

CTrade::Buy

Note

Successful completion of the Buy(...) method does not always mean successful execution of the trade operation. It is necessary to check the result of trade request (trade server return code) using ResultRetcode() and value returned by ResultDeal().

Thanks so much for your reply Vladimir, however this unfortunately doesn't help this issue. I am already checking both the ResultRetcode() and ResultDeal(), and they both return 10008 and 0 for ResultDeal() in case when the trade is sucesfully opened, and in case when not. So this one's not helping to differentiate. Any other ideas?

Best,
