Problem with OANDA BROKER

 

I am testing my EA on OANDA MetaTrader Broker - Demo account. My ordersend for a buy signal is below. I do not have any problem with the signal execution. The only problem I have is the ordercomment(). As you could see my comment says "MY EA". However, when I print it I get a different comment : " fxTrade Practice #1750614354"


How can I see the comment" MY EA" rather the one that the broker is dictating?


Thank you for your help.


ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,ask,30*point,0,0,"MY EA",1,0,Green);
 

Dont you think it would be a good idea to ask Oanda about that ?

brokers can change comments, including complete replacement. Instead use magic numbers.

Thank you for your reply. But, why would they do that?

Well you might not be so suprised or shocked if you consider, as that is obviously a broker specific issue, the best solution is to ask your broker as they can give you the most accurate information about it which is why I said ask them. Only they can tell you if they would stop doing that if you request, or if they will continue doing that if you use a live account etc etc
