Help me to find out why the "Expiration of pending orders" function does not work in MT5 Wizard - Expert Advisors and Automated Trading

MrBrooklin 2019.09.09 07:50 #11201

Good day everyone and great profits!

I generated a simple Expert Advisor with VQL5 Wizard, the code is below. Please help me to find out why the "Expiration of pending orders (in bars)" function does not work. I set any Signal_Expiration values from 1 to 1000, but the pending order still exists only within one bar. I also attach parameter settings.

For testing, I am using a demo account in the Metatrader 5 terminal, build 2136.

Sincerely, Vladimir.

Questions on MQL5 Wizard Any questions from newcomers OrderModify() error 1

Martingeil 2019.09.09 12:12 #11202

Will it work for developers instead of OrderCloseTime()??

My experience in MQL5 is the fourth day, but I've already had my fill!

Bring back the OrderCloseTime() function, this position can be done somehow programmatically.... - order - then trade - then position, or is it so hard to calculate the position by machine?

Observe unnatural behaviour of the platform.

1. ME5 does not retain the interface settings that were in place when it was switched off. In particular, the settings panel disappears. Can be restored, but it has to be done every time it is switched on.

2. I am making an indicator. Changing indicator settings in MT5 usually leads to a failure: shape of lines changes significantly, colour cannot be changed, etc.
Moreover, if you change settings in a newly installed indicator, everything works as planned.

Issues:

1. is it just me or is it a general problem?
2. If it's something I'm missing or doing wrong, please advise.

What exactly do you want to get? Do you need the time of the last trade(type of trade "market exit")? Or do you want to know the closing time of a position in the trading history?
