OrderSend - error 4059 ERR_FUNCTION_NOT_ALLOWED_IN_TESTING_MODE

[sergio daniel mazza]

hi, I have the problem...when i excute the EA. appear the error " ERROR: code=4059 - function is not allowed in testing mode"

double StopLoss=500;
double pips = 0.00001;
extern double TakeProfit=1000;

TicketNumber=OrderSend( Symbol(), OP_BUY, LotSize, Ask, 3, Ask-(StopLoss*pips), Ask+(TakeProfit*pips), CommentName, MAGIC,0,Green);

i copy the code where I think the error must be here because if I put to 0, in the stoploss and takeprofit it works....any idea..??

thanks a lot

Hello,

Try with

TicketNumber=OrderSend( Symbol(), OP_BUY, LotSize, Ask, 3, NormalizeDouble(Ask-(StopLoss*pips),Digits), NormalizeDouble(Ask+(TakeProfit*pips),Digits), CommentName, MAGIC,0,Green);

the strange thing is that just opens the position...

Show the code that is producing the error message. Are you using MarketInfo() anywhere ?

What does NormalizeDouble() have to do with this issue ?

if the value "StopLoss" or "TakeProfit" is changed by a function before being called by OrderSend, it may send an error "Invalid S/L or T/P" if there is a lot of decimal

The error is 4059 ERR_FUNCTION_NOT_ALLOWED_IN_TESTING_MODE, it says at the top of the thread.

thanks for the help, the code is very simple, I'm just starting in the programming of mql.

double StopLoss=500;
double TakeProfit=1000;
double pips = 0.00001;

void openPosition(){ 
int TicketNumber;

        if(IsNewCandle()){
        if( AccountFreeMargin() > 0 ){
                        TicketNumber=OrderSend( Symbol(), OP_BUY, LotSize, Ask, 3, NormalizeDouble(Ask-(StopLoss*pips),Digits), NormalizeDouble(Ask+(TakeProfit*pips),Digits), CommentName, MAGIC,0,Green);
                        if(TicketNumber==-1){logError("openPosition()", "Error opening BUY order SMA4 >= SMA9");}
    }
  }
}                                                              

as data I'm working with micro lots and broker allows 50 points to put the stoploss

Where do you get error 4059 from ? your code doesn't Print() it or output it to a log . . . why aren't you outputting the error number ?

if(TicketNumber==-1){logError("openPosition() Error opening BUY order SMA4 >= SMA9.  Error # ", GetLastError() );}

What is logError() ? If it uses something like MessageBox() or SendMail() to notify you of problems, then those functions will trigger an error in the backtesting.

sorry but my english is not good when i change this parameter works well

TicketNumber=OrderSend( Symbol(), OP_BUY, LotSize, Ask, slippage, 0, 0, CommentName, MAGIC,0,Green);

but if i change it, didnt work

double StopLoss=500;
double TakeProfit=1000;
double pips = 0.00001;
double LotSize=0.01;

void openPosition(){ 
int TicketNumber;
        if(IsNewCandle()){
        if( AccountFreeMargin() > 0 ){
                        TicketNumber=OrderSend( Symbol(), OP_BUY, LotSize, Ask, 3, NormalizeDouble(Ask-(StopLoss*pips),Digits), NormalizeDouble(Ask+(TakeProfit*pips),Digits), CommentName, MAGIC,0,Green);
                        if(TicketNumber==-1){logError("openPosition()", "Error opening BUY order SMA4 >= SMA9");}
    }
  }
}        

void logError(string functionName, string msg, int errorCode = -1)
  {
    Print("ERROR: in " + functionName + "()");
    Print("ERROR: " + msg );
    
    int err = GetLastError();
    if(errorCode != -1) 
        err = errorCode;
        
    if(err != ERR_NO_ERROR) 
      {
        Print("ERROR: code=" + err + " - " + ErrorDescription( err ));
      }    
  }
