Alert show up

Hi all,

While the order is placed and works fine every time a new order is open the alert shown up. This should only happen if the order fail and that is not the case.

Follow is the code. Could any of you tell me if the way and place of the error lines are wrong ?

void OpenOppositeOrder()
    {//0     
     int Op; 
  
     for(int Counter = OrdersTotal()-1; Counter >= 0; Counter--)

Hi all,

Follow is the code. Could any of you tell me if the way and place of the error lines are wrong ?

So in the log you get the following . . .

Opposite Sell order placed: ",SellTicket," StopLoss: ",

followed immediately by . . .

Bid: ",DoubleToStr(Bid,Digits)," Open Price: ",Double

Please post the log entry that shows this . . . . I don't believe it can happen, if the OrderSend returns > -1 you execute a block of code that finishes with a return; so the Alert cannot be called.

You should add the function name to your Alerts and log entries so you know where they are coming from . . . so this:

string ErrLog = StringConcatenate(" Bid: ",DoubleToStr(Bid,Digits)," Open Price: ",DoubleToStr(OrderOpenPrice(),Digits)," Ticket: ",SellTicket," Spread: ",
                                    DoubleToStr(Spread,Digits)," Lots: ",MLots," Stop Level: ",StopLevel," Freeze Level: " ,FreezeLevel);

changes to this:

string ErrLog = StringConcatenate("OpenOppositeOrder - Bid: ",DoubleToStr(Bid,Digits)," Open Price: ",DoubleToStr(OrderOpenPrice(),Digits)," Ticket: ",SellTicket," Spread: ",
                                    DoubleToStr(Spread,Digits)," Lots: ",MLots," Stop Level: ",StopLevel," Freeze Level: " ,FreezeLevel);

And this:

ErrAlert = StringConcatenate(" Opposite Buy Failed: ",ErrorCode, ": ",ErrDesc);

changes to this:

ErrAlert = StringConcatenate("OpenOppositeOrder - Opposite Buy Failed: ",ErrorCode, ": ",ErrDesc);

Hi RaptorUK,

Thank you for your attention to my issue.

So here is the log registered as soon the ea start to run;

I call for your attention to the fact that sometimes Lots is 0 while it should be 0.01. Could this be the problem ?

Nevertheless the order opens and the lot is 0.01 (......)

coming from this function AddLimitsBuy(); ? rather than the code you showed above ?

Hi RaptorUK,

Yes, the Alert comes from the code that is showed above. Again when the first order opens the Lot showed in the log is 0 instead of 0.01, but in Trade tab the order opens and the lot is 0.01. From there when an opposite orders opens the Lot is ok but the alert show up anyway.

At this moment I have and per your advise I have identified all error and alert lines spread in the whole code.

No it doesn't . . . unless you have changed the code.

From the code above . . .

ErrAlert = StringConcatenate(" Opposite Buy Failed: ",ErrorCode, ": ",ErrDesc);
                    Alert(ErrAlert);

So the text in the Alert will start . . . . Opposite Buy Failed:

The Alert you have shown in the log starts . . . Add Limits Buy Failed

The code producing this Alert is not the code you have shown above . . .

Simon Gniadkowski 2013.04.02 12:17 #6

Please show the code for this function : AddLimitsBuy();

         RefreshRates();        
         if(!OrderModify(BuyTicket,OpenPrice,BuyStopLoss,BuyTakeProfit,0,CLR_NONE))
                
         ErrorCode = GetLastError();
         string ErrDesc = ErrorDescription(ErrorCode);

Hi RaptorUK,

My Apologies. You are right... here is the code for Add Limits;

OK, very easy to fix this . . . you need some braces . . .

 RefreshRates();        
         if(!OrderModify(BuyTicket,OpenPrice,BuyStopLoss,BuyTakeProfit,0,CLR_NONE))  // this line says . . . if the OrderModify fails
                
         ErrorCode = GetLastError();    //   execute this code,  if the OrderModify succeeds don't execute it.


         string ErrDesc = ErrorDescription(ErrorCode);  //  this line and those that follow is executed regardless of what happens with he OrderModify
                  
         string ErrAlert = StringConcatenate(" Add Limits Buy Failed - Error: " , ErrorCode,": ",ErrDesc);
         Alert(ErrAlert);
                  
         string ErrLog = StringConcatenate("Add Limits Buy Failed - Ask: ", DoubleToStr(Ask,Digits)," Ticket: ",BuyTicket," Spread: ", DoubleToStr(Spread,Digits),
                     " Lots: ", MLots," Buy Stop Loss: ", DoubleToStr(BuyStopLoss,Digits)," Stop Level: " , StopLevel," Freeze Level: " , FreezeLevel);
         Print(ErrLog);

so you need to do this . . .

       RefreshRates();        
       if(!OrderModify(BuyTicket,OpenPrice,BuyStopLoss,BuyTakeProfit,0,CLR_NONE))
          {                                                                           //  add these braces
          ErrorCode = GetLastError();
          string ErrDesc = ErrorDescription(ErrorCode);
                  
          string ErrAlert = StringConcatenate(" Add Limits Buy Failed - Error: " , ErrorCode,": ",ErrDesc);
          Alert(ErrAlert);
                  
          string ErrLog = StringConcatenate("Add Limits Buy Failed - Ask: ", DoubleToStr(Ask,Digits)," Ticket: ",BuyTicket," Spread: ", DoubleToStr(Spread,Digits),
                   " Lots: ", MLots," Buy Stop Loss: ", DoubleToStr(BuyStopLoss,Digits)," Stop Level: " , StopLevel," Freeze Level: " , FreezeLevel);
          Print(ErrLog);

          }                                                     //  add these braces

      }  //0

Do the same for the Sell

Hi RaptorUk,

Thank you for your support. Now is working fine and I've done the same to all others instances of error routines.

Best Regards
