i contacted the broker but they have no idea since its 3rd party application

Is your broker allowing to place orders ? by EA ?

Yes i confirmed that EA is allowed

[Radwan Aly Abouelseoud Ara]

i really need to reach to MT5 technical support to know for sure if EA is allowed or not on my account, because OANDA says that its allowed, while orders is not going through. anybody knows how to reach them?

The trading account, the symbols, the price on the chart, and money for trading, the specification of the symbols, and so on - all of them are related to the brokers only. It is not related to MT5 technical support. Because the trading accounts and thhe symbols to trade are not related to the MT5 software program; it is related to the broker you selected.

------------------

So, it may be the bug in your EA (related to your code), or this symbol is having some limitation in the specification of the symbol (related to the broker).

There is many threads about this error 1006 (for example - this one), and some of the threads/reasons are related to the bugs in the EA, and the other threads/reasons are related to the ask/bid/LAST price and how it was coded inside the EA.

More example about why the coder of your EA should fix it:

Looks like you only check for error from  Trade Server . You should also check for other error as well, like Runtime errors, and then make an adjustment to your order send. What GetLastError() that you got when your trade had rejected error 10006. 

..and more threads/posts (about error 10006).

---------------------

So, you should find the reason by yourself, or ask your coder to fix your EA for you.

I have tried all kinds of orders and all kinds of filling modes and i noted the volume step for sure, and tried multiple stock exchanges (us and uk). I used mqltraderequest structure and also tried ctrade library. The frequency of opening positions of my EA is minimal.

All this came to the same rejection error as mentioned earlier.
