orderdelete error

New comment
 

I am getting a lot of these errors in my code:

Alert: Order 153 failed to close. Error:4108

Any ideas why?

Replace

switch(type)
         {
            //Close pending orders
            case OP_BUYLIMIT  :
            case OP_BUYSTOP   : result = OrderDelete( OrderTicket() );
            case OP_SELLLIMIT :
            case OP_SELLSTOP  : result = OrderDelete( OrderTicket() );
         }

to

if(type>1)result = OrderDelete( OrderTicket() );
 
Roger:

Replace [...] to [...]

Fleshing out Roger's answer with a reason, for SanMiguel's benefit, in the code Roger is replacing OrderDelete() gets called twice if the order type is a buy-stop or a buy-limit. Processing "falls through" from one part of a switch statement to another unless there's a "break". For an example of a similar problem involving switch statements without breaks, see my comment timestamped 2009.03.26 21:56 in 'Evaluating Account Balance'

what about the sell-stop and sell-limit ? is that 1 as well?


If 1 of these pending order trades is triggered and hits its take profit, I want to cancel the other order.

If it instead, hits its stop loss, I want to keep the other order.


Would I use a flag for this in this code?

Does a pending order change from op_buylimit to op-Buy when triggered?
