I have a very simple problem, or I hope it is. I cannot believe that this code is not working:
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,1,Ask,3,0,0,"",0,0,Green);
I guarantee that the condition triggering this trade request works perfectly, but I am simply unable to create a market buy order.
Do you have any Idea what could be wrong with this OrderSend?
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,3,0,0,"",0,0,Green);
Yes, that worked. Oh my goodness, I really danced around that solution for a long time without landing on it. Yikes, what a day.
Thank you for your help.

not only smaller lotsize, also the slippage is here if you have a 5 digit broker is too low. (3 points = 0.00003)
This way you can get very often requote. This command is for 4 digit brokers 3 pips (3 pips = 0.0003)
So make it for 5 digit brokers
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.01,Ask,30,0,0,"",0,0,Green);
//++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers. int pips2points; // slippage 3 pips 3=points 30=points double pips2dbl; // Stoploss 15 pips 0.015 0.0150 int Digits.pips; // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips) int init(){ if (Digits % 2 == 1){ // DE30=1/JPY=3/EURUSD=5 https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/135345 pips2dbl = Point*10; pips2points = 10; Digits.pips = 1; } else { pips2dbl = Point; pips2points = 1; Digits.pips = 0; } // OrderSend(... Slippage.Pips * pips2points, Bid - StopLossPips * pips2dbl //---- These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers. /* On ECN brokers you must open first and THEN set stops int ticket = OrderSend(..., 0,0,...) if (ticket < 0) Alert("OrderSend failed: ", GetLastError()); else if (!OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET)) Alert("OrderSelect failed: ", GetLastError()); else if (!OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), SL, TP, 0) Alert("OrderModify failed: ", GetLastError()); */
