We only use pending orders and have no problems with requotes (I haven't used direct orders for three years now, including close orders)
What is it like, a pending close order ? Considering the limit of 3 orders for the contest.
Trailing stop rules (especially with such indents (StopLevel) as in the championship), and a takeprofit can be set
And what is the StopLevel at the Pound-Yen Championship????
Trailing stop rules (especially with such indentations (StopLevel) as in the championship), well, and takeprofit can be put
And what is the StopLevel on the Pound-Yen Champ????
7 pips.
I wonder if it would be an error if an EA did not handle re-quotes? And can an EA be removed from the Championship because of it?
It is difficult to detect this problem neither in the Strategy Tester, nor in demo mode or even in microreal-time. At least it did not occur at least once during one month of testing. However, it seems that organizers have decided to feed us with requotes in this championship. I judge it as an Expert Advisor tried to close an order on a generally calm market but got requotes. And this despite the fact that RefreshRates() immediately precedes OrderClose(). Well, error 138 is received and the order keeps working. Of course, the logic is broken, but it is not too bad.
Gentlemen, are your creators ready to fight requotes?
I open in a calm market and with a large margin
SLIPPAGE = 9 euros
did not detect any requotes yet
i have no scalping so 9p +2 spd back and forth would not do much - it would be worse if the signal was missed by 35 - 100 - 200 -> p because of requotes
in general, slippage should probably be selected upon the last period volatility + somehow build some logic for requote handling
It is strange that my Expert Advisor optimized for EURJPY H1 has been tested on EURUSD M5. Does it have to be tested only on EURUSD M5?
It's strange, they would test it on Gold or CFD M1 just for fun.
I was thinking to make foolproof and harden everything, but I didn't think it would be so funny ))))
