Small updates for DealClient:

- If multiple orders are open and request for closure comes, then client will first close orders with profit;

- Better error handling added to fix issues when orders wasn't opened due to bad connection. New function was added to check if retransmit is necessary:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Check if another try will fix the problem                        |

bool bCanRetryFixTheProblem(int error)

Hi,

 

I'm running the server EA and the client script and they are communicating with each other except I get the following type of error in the MT4 log and need some help getting it fixed.

MT5 (Build 597) log:
2012.03.08 01:17:55 TsaktuoDealServer (EURUSD,H1) DEAL:<955492;EURUSD;SELL;IN;0.01;1.31080>


MT4 (Build 409) log:
2012.03.08 01:17:55 TsaktuoDealClient EURUSD,H1: Invalid order received:"4444EEEESSSSEEEEIIII....11110000"

 

Any thoughts? 

 

Have updated MT4 to Build 416 with no change. 

 

Also, this is what I get when compiling the script in MT4

Compiling 'TsaktuoDealClient.mq4'... 
Function "struct2int" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file 
Function "str2struct" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file 
Function "htonl" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file 
Function "ntohl" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file 
Function "ntohs" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file 
0 error(s), 5 warning(s)

 

 

Anyone know what's going on? 

 
can someone fix the script to run micro suffixes? for example the mt5 is EURUSD and the mt4 is EURUSDm.   thanks 
 

I use this for 1 week , there are 2 error, so I give up it.

Do you have reported that to Service Desk ?
 

No. I think this error cannot be changed

error:129, mean price changed

 

 

Hello! 

MT4 does not open the file, I can not be attached chart. 

Not is TsaktuoDealClient.ex4, only TsaktuoDealClient.mql4 file.

Why is that?
