getting error with OrderSend on forex.com

Hi all,

I'm getting a weird error with OrderSend function on forex.com. No matter how I set the price parameter,  a new position will always be opened with current price. 

For example with this function 

OrderSend(Symbol(),0,0.2,NormalizeDouble(Ask+10,MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)),10,0,0);

I expect it will return error 129 ( invalid price) which is what I get if I execute it on Alpari's version. However in forex.com, a new position will be open with the current price( not Ask+10) if the function is executed.

 Please help me know what is going wrong?

You cannot OP_Buy @ Ask+10; You can only OP_Buy @ Ask.

Use OP_Buy instead of 0. Makes the code more readable.

If you want a Pending Order then use OP_BuyStop etc.

If forex.com ECN broker ?, With some ECN broker, we don't have to specify open price to buy or to sell.

Yes, but the forex.com MT4 client did let me open new position with the ridiculous price" Ask+10" ( the actual price of this newly opened position was the current market price of course). That's why I were confuse. Now I know it was because forex.com was an ECN ( thank phi.nuts)
