RaptorUK:

For a double 0 == 0.0 

Modification of the Open Price is prohibited . . . look at the column headers. 


ok, still trying to understand the code you just posted..

but as far as modifying open price, I wasnt trying to do that.. and if 0 =0.0 for a double, I still don't know what the problem is?

I cant figure out why i am getting error 130, if I have a 0 value for stop and takeprofit.. 

 
RaptorUK:

This is your issue . . .

  . . .  if you had printed the SL and TP values as part of your error reporting you would have seen this yourself.

 


ok, i am still new at this programming thing so didn't know to do that..  

since those lines are following the 'else' command shouldn't they be ignored if ECNbroker == true?

can you tell me what is wrong with these lines from the above code??

 

else stop = Ask-BreakoutStop*Point;


        target = Ask+BreakoutTarget*Point;

 

 cuz I just do not know..

 

thanks again,

Sam

The else applies just to the first line . . . the second line gets executed regardless . . .  just like the lines that follow it . . .  you should have done this . . .

else 
   {
   stop = Ask-BreakoutStop*Point;
   target = Ask+BreakoutTarget*Point;
   }
 

ok, I feel dumb.. of course it needs brackets! duh!

 

Thanks Raptor. much appreciated! I just needed another set of eyes..

I'll test this now..

Do yourself a big favour . . .  enhance your error reporting . . .  for example . . .

Print( "OrderSend(type=",  TradeOp, " , lots=", TradeSize, ", entry=", ToStr(TradeEntry), ", Ask: ", ToStr(Ask), ", Bid: ", ToStr(Bid), 
            ", SL=", ToStr(OrderSL), " , TP=", ToStr(OrderTP), " ", TradeComment, ", ... failed: ", GLError );

  . . .  if my OrderSend fails I print the type, the position size, the open price, Ask, Bid, SL, TP, trade comment and the error number . . .

Great idea, Raptor.. not only did you help me see my mistake, but I learned something new.. 

thanks again.
