Strange behavior

[[Deleted]]

Hello!

There is something strange with my EA.

I'm using this function for position selection:

bool SelectBotPosition()
{
   int ordersCount = OrdersTotal();
  
   for (int i = 0; i < ordersCount; i++)
   {
      if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS))
      {
         if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == BotMagic)
         {
            Print("order type ", OrderType());
            switch (OrderType())
            {
               case OP_BUY:
               case OP_SELL:
                  return true;
            }
         }
      }
   }

   return false;
}

And it prints "order type 4" i.e. OP_BUYSTOP, but EA never creates a BUYSTOP order, moreover I see opened position in the Trades window:

2015.07.28 15:59:59.833    '3087888': order was opened : #2466572 buy 0.01 EURUSD.q at 1.10500 sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000
2015.07.28 15:59:59.692    '3087888': order buy market 0.01 EURUSD.q sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000

It should be OP_BUY. What's wrong?

I'm using terminal ver. 840.

goodvinj:  it prints "order type 4" i.e. OP_BUYSTOP, but EA never creates a BUYSTOP order,	Apparently it does. There are no mindreaders here. Print out all relevant information, like ticket number, and find out.

There is no BUYSTOP orders nor in the trades list nor in the history.

History contains BUY/SELL orders only.

There won't be stop/limits in history (except deleted ones.) They become buy/sell when they trigger.

OK, anyway when EA prints "order type 4" there is only BUY trade, journal contains lines

2015.07.28 15:59:59.833    '3087888': order was opened : #2466572 buy 0.01 EURUSD.q at 1.10500 sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000

2015.07.28 15:59:59.692    '3087888': order buy market 0.01 EURUSD.q sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000

for the current BUY position.

I've added a ticket number to the log.

Now the journal contains:

2015.07.30 11:07:18.200    '3087888': order was opened : #2487443 buy 0.01 EURUSD.q at 1.09818 sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000
2015.07.30 11:07:17.607    '3087888': order buy market 0.01 EURUSD.q sl: 0.00000 tp: 0.00000

And the EA prints

2015.07.30 11:07:18.763    MyEA EURUSD.q,M5: ticket 2487443, type 4

messages.

So again.. How is it possible?

Looks like a broker-specific issue.
