I simplified the code. Will only work if SL and TP = 0. Why? Why the 4105 error? Any help appreciated. extern string Symb; // Security name //--------------------------------------------------------------- 2 -- int start() { int tick, // Order number error=GetLastError(); Symb=Symbol(); // Symbol EA is attached too //--------------------------------------------------------------- 5 -- double SL=0; double TP=0; tick=OrderSend(Symb,OP_BUY,0.01,Ask,5,SL,TP,NULL,0,0,Blue); Alert("tick ",tick); if (tick >= 1) // Success :) { Alert ("Opened order Buy ",OrderTicket()); } if (tick< 0) // Success :) { Alert ("buy error ",error); } if (Fun_Error(GetLastError())==1) // Processing errors { Alert("Error - open buy "); } return; // Exit start() } //-------------------------------------------------------------- 10 -- int Fun_Error(int Error) // Function of processing errors { switch(Error) { // Not crucial errors case 130:Alert(Symb," 130-Invalid stops."); return(0); // Exit the function default: Alert("Error occurred: ",Error); // Other variants return(0); // Exit the function } }

Read this: ECN
4105 error caused by which function ? did you look up what error 4105 means ?
You need to sort out your error handling . . .
if (tick< 0) // Success :) { Alert ("buy error ",error); // where does the value of error come from ? }
you will be reporting the wrong error . . .
Before you can use OrderTicket() you must . . . "Note: The order must be previously selected by the OrderSelect() function."
if (Fun_Error(GetLastError())==1) // Processing errors { Alert("Error - open buy "); }
Your function Fun_Error() can never return 1 so why on earth are you checking for that fact ? if you are going to use other people's code you need to understand it before you try to use it . . .
tick=OrderSend(Symb,OP_BUY,0.01,Ask,5,SL,TP,NULL,0,0,Blue); Alert("tick ",tick); if (tick >= 1) // Success :) { Alert ("Opened order Buy ",OrderTicket()); } if (tick< 0) // Success :) { Alert ("buy error ",error);
- What is the value of error.
- No orderSelect before OrderTicket
- Not adjusting for 4/5 digit brokers (slippage)
- Not adjusting for ECN brokers
Thanks for the comments, especially the ecn clue.
The fun_error, and ordersend code are from the metatrader instruction book, so I'm learning.
