Issue the correct price to set the pending order.

Vladimir Karputov:

Issue the correct price to set the pending order.

Once this selimit becomes a position, further limit order setting goes smoothly.

               ExtStep=10*m_adjusted_point;
               m_trade.SellLimit(checkVolumeValue(loot),m_symbol.Bid()+ExtStep);

m_symbol.Bid() - this explicitly contains either rubbish or old price.

We should refresh the price first:

   if(!RefreshRates())
      return;

and then we should issue a trade order to place a pending order.

OK, on the other hand: check the logs in the Log tab - you should definitely see there that you have sent a Sell limit order at price 10.

Vladimir Karputov:

Ok, let's look at the other side: check the logs in the "Log" tab to see that you have sent a Sell limit order at price 10.

CTrade::OrderSend: modify #3 at 10.00000 (sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000) [done]
