Hi Everyone,
i hope you guys can assist me. I have very little experience with MQL5 but im not sure why im getting an invalid price error sometimes when running my EA. Below is example of my code. I think somtimes the market spikes to quickly for my EA to open pending order therefore the price is invalid. The issue is that the pending order doesnt get set unless price move above say set price for the initial order.
int pen = OrdersTotal();
int i = PositionsTotal();
if(i<= 0)
{
double topline = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits);
if(!trade.Buy(0.2,NULL,topline,0,0,NULL))
Alert("OrderSend error %d",GetLastError());
if(!trade.SellStop(0.5,topline-diff,NULL,0,0,ORDER_TIME_GTC,0,NULL))
Alert("OrderSend error %d",GetLastError());
}
else
if(i== 1 && pen ==1)
{
/* checking the first trade profits*/
if(AE - AB >= target)
{
CloseBuySellSymbol();
}
}
else
{
/* checking the consolidation profits*/
if(AE - AB >= target2 || AB - AE >TakeLoss)
{
CloseBuySellSymbol();
}
if(i==2 && pen <=0)
{
double B3 = FetchingBPrice();
if(!trade.BuyStop(1.0,B3,NULL,0,0,ORDER_TIME_GTC,0,NULL))
Alert("OrderSend error %d",GetLastError());
}
else
if(i==3 && pen <=0)
{
double B4 = FetchingBPrice();
if(!trade.SellStop(1.8,B4,NULL,0,0,ORDER_TIME_GTC,0,NULL))
Alert("OrderSend error %d",GetLastError());
}
else
if(i==4 && pen <=0)
{
double B5 = FetchingBPrice();
if(!trade.BuyStop(3.2,B5,NULL,0,0,ORDER_TIME_GTC,0,NULL))
Alert("OrderSend error %d",GetLastError());
