OrderOpenPrice vs Open Price

New comment
 

Below is a trade which puzzles me. If you look at the log you will see that the BUY opened at 1.40435, yet when you use an alert, the alert shows 1.40445. A difference of .00010.

.

Is OrderOpenPrice() returning the value of the order " that was opened " or the value " if opened "? OrderClosePrice() returns, 1.40425, even when order isn't closed. And, with the exception of OrderOpenPrice(), all other values change, from tick to tick.

.

.

How do I work with the actual values of a trade and not just the " values to be "?

The order didn't open at 1.40435.

That was the price you requested it open at.

It opened at 1.40445, without a requote due to the fact that the difference between the 2 prices being smaller that what you have allowed in slippage (from memory, I think you set slippage to 50?).

If you select an order with OrderSelect(), then OrderOpenPrice() will always reflect the actual price that the order was opened at.

O.K. That get's me a little closer. I just wanted to be sure that my calculations were working with actual values. The possible reason too, for the difference in price then, maybe be because I have forced the order to open even if there's a requote.

.

.

{
while(Order == false)
{RefreshRates();
Order = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lot,Ask,2,0,TakePB);}
}

.

Thanks!
