Can´t find the reason why OrderModify Error 4051 is happening

New comment

Hi guys,

I just can´t find why my EA is showing this error when I use the Trailing Stop option.

I am attaching here the code where I call the function Trailing Stop and then the function itself

After that I am showing the messsages from the Alerts That I have inserted in the code

In short, The StopLoss of the Selected Order is the same as the new Stop Loss that the trailing Stop is calculating

If I am right, I have specifically coded that in such case the EA will not run the OrderModify function

But the Error 4051 is happening even though the OrderModify function is not being called

Well, at least that is my deduction

Will someone please check what is wrong with my code?

}

so, after I check that Modify==false, there is a break instruction, so the EA should get out of the while(true) loop and should NOT execute the OrderModify instruction, but somehow it is beeing called and if my new SL is equal to the OrderStopLoss then error 4051 is understandable. But why is the OrderModify instruction being executed, will someone please explain?

here are the messages when I backtested the EA:

What I see here is that the new SL (variable SL) is 1.3418 and the OrderStopLoss (variable loss) is exactly 1.3418

That is why the condition if(SL<loss-pips2dbl) under the case 1: (sell) is not met.

That is why the message "Modify=false" is being showed

That is why the Answer (A)=false is being showed

So then why is the EA showing "Occurred error 4051"?

Maybe the int Error=GetLastError is not being initialized ? So it is showing this error just because it was the last error and not because this error is happening over and over?

Thanks in advance for your help

Carl Schreiber 2014.10.13 07:45 #1

Have you looked up the meaning of 4051:Invalid function parameter value. So try to change the values of OrderModify(..), like price, SL, and profit.

Check the minimal difference (MODE_STOPLEVEL and MODE_FREEZELEVEL)

Maybe instead of price use either OrderOpenPrice() or 0 as you don't change a pending order, ....

Hi gooly,

There is another section in my code where I modify the initial Sl and TP values for a recently opened trade.

Might it be possible that the error is being generated THERE and that the sentence Error=GetLastError() is receiving the Error generated on that part of the code?

BTW, thanks for your answer , I will check the parameters' values on both OrderModify funtions.

best regards. JHF

You can use ResetLastError() before each Order - look it up

Simon Gniadkowski 2014.10.14 07:36 #4

Justhavingfun:

So then why is the EA showing "Occurred error 4051"?

That is the last error that happened . . . it may be completely somewhere else in your code . . . and completely unrelated to your Trailing Stop function, if you want to check this then at the start of your Trailing Stop function add . . . ResetLastError();

Part of the issue is that your trailing stop function returns False even if there was no failure . . . then you go looking for an error . . . why ? you need to fix this design flaw.

Hi everyone,

I am getting the same kind of error message but with openselect function (OrderSelect returned error of 4051):

Can anyone help please?

1) form a habit to count down OrdersTotal()!!

v_cnt = OrdersTotal();
for(int pos=v_cnt-1;pos>=0;pos--) { 
...

2) E.g. TotalOrders() = 4; Please count now how many order do you request in your code if you loop from pos=0 to pos<=4.

Asked and previously answered
There are OrdersTotal() count of orders. Order positions are [0 .. OrdersTotal()-1]
There are two trades, at positions zero and one. There is no position 2
You must count down when closing/deleting in a position loop. Get in the habit of always counting down. Loops and Closing or Deleting Orders - MQL4 forum
