Ordersend problem

New comment
 

Hello guys,

getting crazy for this problem:


////////////////////////////////////////////////////

extern double block=0.0047;

extern double stepin=20;

extern double stepout=4;


int HIG=iHighest(NULL, PERIOD_D1, MODE_HIGH, 3000, 0);

apex=iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_D1,HIG);


int res2=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT,0.01,NormalizeDouble(apex*(1-(block*stepin)),0),5,NormalizeDouble(apex*((1-(block*stepin))*0.35),0),NormalizeDouble(apex*(1-(block*stepout)),0),"",MAGICMA,0,Blue);

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Everything seem to work fine but the order simply won't go... no error message received.


Any idea?


Thank you

  2. No error message: Check your return codes, and report your errors (including market prices and your variables). Don't look at GLE/LE unless you have an error. Don't just silence the compiler (MT5/MT4+strict), it is trying to help you.

  3. Where do you check that 0.0047 * 20 below the high is below the current market?
 

Thank you for your kind reply.


I've found out there was a problem of lot size. Very useful to add to the code:




int TicketNumber;

TicketNumber = OrderSend( . . . . . . . . );

if( TicketNumber > 0 )
   {
   Print("Order placed # ", TicketNumber);
   }
else
   {
   Print("Order Send failed, error # ", GetLastError() );
   }


to get the error code.


Thank you
