BUY Stop and Sell Stop, Delete pending order.

New comment
 

Good day.

The code that i have posted below returns 4109 error and i dont know where to look for the error and it is my first time writing a code for pending orders and how do i delete a certain pending order given that every news times a certain symbol will have a pending trade (BUYSTOP and SELLSTOP) 5 minutes before the news then if one of them is activated, the other pending will be deleted...

         ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,0.1,Ask+PendingPoint(),0,0,0,"",0,0,CLR_NONE);
         if(ticket>0)
         {
            status="Pending Order placed BUY STOP with ticket #"+ticket;   
         }

Thank you very much

Why aren't you checking the return value and printing the error and any relevant variables ? What are Function return values ? How do I use them ?

Did you allow live trading ? do you have a smiley face in the top right corner of the chart ?

i already enable allow live trading, allow dll imports and activated EA.

i have also figure out the error and it works now but the only question remains is that on how you will know if a certain pending order is activated...

It's no longer pending . . . it's either an OP_BUY or OP_SELL check it's OrderType()
