//.................................
               double priceinticks=NormalizeDouble(tick.ask/SymTicSize,0);
               request.price  = priceinticks*SymTicSize;

What is the value of ticksize ?

What is the return code from the trade server ? (result.retcode).

ticsize=0.01

retcode=10015

it is interesting that it is not an actual error in the journal (there is no red marker and if I search for "errors only" in the viewer it doesn't show up) when I normalize by ticsize even though it says ERROR and the order does not complete....

MT5 bug ? or maybe wrong data from Metaquotes server.
 
I also get the same error when trying to use instant sell/buy for XAUUSD. Do you have any updates on how to fix the problem?

This is pretty annoying. I am also facing the same issue. Anyone found a solution?
