Questions from a "dummy" - page 217

 
G001:
Right. That was my request, how to know programmatically when the EA stops working.
:))) yeah.

and call it "thank you, everyone, problem solved,"

You created it for yourself, not solved it ;)

 
G001: I was also thinking of using the asynchronous option, but I don't know if the broker won't count the trades.
What do you mean? There is a possibility that "the broker won't count the trades" because of the use ofOrderSendAsync()?
 
G001:

Don't use perpetual loops to check, that's probably the problem.

Well, I didn't get any other advice. :)
So far it's the only workable option.
I've seen a lot of "miracles" in 5 years, and I don't think there are any solutions for all the "miracles" I've seen in the real world.
 

It is sad I am trying to make an EA with two functions (setting positions and reopening a position after it has closed at TP or SL but it needs to open together with the opposite position)

i can't even get such a simple EA to work, i've tried on forums too ((

you did, but you're ignoring it. ;)

you don't put prints and comments in cycles, you don't give a magazine.

You need to communicate here, not blame it on the terminal.

tol64: Don't use perpetual loops to check, this is probably the problem.

I noticed this part of the code:

      request.action = TRADE_ACTION_PENDING;
      request.magic = Magic;
      request.symbol = Symbol();
      request.volume = Volume();
      request.price=NormalizeDouble(Ask+OrderDrive*_Point,_Digits);
      request.sl = NormalizeDouble(request.price - StopLoss*_Point,_Digits);
      request.tp = NormalizeDouble(request.price + TakeProfit*_Point,_Digits);
      request.type=ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP;
      request.type_filling=ORDER_FILLING_RETURN;
      request.comment=Coments;
      int ResBull = -1;
      while(ResBull < 1)
      {
        if(OrderCheck(request,check))
          {
          ResBull = OrderSend(request,result);
          }
        if((MQL5InfoInteger(MQL5_TESTING)||MQL5InfoInteger(MQL5_OPTIMIZATION)))break;
      }
      Print("BuyStop Order Set ");
      if(UseSound == true){PlaySound(OrderSound);}
      Print(ResultRetcodeDescription(result.retcode));

What happens (question to the author) if OrderCheck(request,check) function returns false at some stage? For example, because of specifying incorrect volume for request.volume.

And you may have noticed it correctly. Thank you.
Can you please tell me how to check and get rid of perpetual loop.

What if we try the CTrade class for sending orders as described in this article?
 
G001: Please advise how to check and get rid of the infinite loop.

There could be many options. Limit the number of iterations, abandon loop checking altogether, analyse the response code, etc. By the way, an infinite loop will also occur if the server rejects the trade request for some reason. I.e. the check logic must be changed completely.

I myself use no more than two checks of return codes and if the order cannot be placed, I wait for the arrival of a new tick.
