Help with EA instant order requote problem!!
bump.. help still needed
Slippage may be ...
I am not sure.
Try to set this slippage value.
Yes! set slippage to 5.
And try this code to auto try opening the order:
........
if(BuyCondition) //<-- BUY condition
{
ticket = OpenOrder(OP_BUY); //<-- Open BUY order
......
}
int OpenOrder(int type)
{
int ticket=0;
int err=0;
int c = 0;
if(type==OP_BUY)
{
for(c = 0 ; c < NumberOfTries ; c++)
{
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,Slippage,Ask-StopLoss*Point,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,ExpertComment,MagicNumber,0,Green);
err=GetLastError();
if(err==0)
{
break;
}
else
{
if(err==4 || err==137 ||err==146 || err==136) //Busy errors
{
Sleep(5000);
continue;
}
else //normal error
{
break;
}
}
}
}
if(type==OP_SELL)
{
for(c = 0 ; c < NumberOfTries ; c++)
{
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,Bid,Slippage,Bid+StopLoss*Point,Bid-TakeProfit*Point,ExpertComment,MagicNumber,0,Red);
err=GetLastError();
if(err==0)
{
break;
}
else
{
if(err==4 || err==137 ||err==146 || err==136) //Busy errors
{
Sleep(5000);
continue;
}
else //normal error
{
break;
}
}
}
}
return(ticket);
}I have been using Interbankfx Demo for a while now. My EA is doing ok but I keep getting requoted. How do I fix this? Is there a way I can tell my EA to take the requote?
Try to use slippage value not less than 5 in your OrderSend functions.
int OrderSend( string symbol, int cmd, double volume, double price, int slippage, double stoploss, double takeprofit, string comment=NULL, int magic=0, datetime expiration=0, color arrow_color=CLR_NONE)
ok i will give that a try. i have it set at 3 right now.
EA and requote question
Hi everyone.
I'm forward testing my first EA that made the cut beyond backtesting, and I just ran into an issue.
It was supposed to open a trade on EUR/USD a few minutes ago, and it didn't. It opens trades fine usually (three earlier and one while I was typing this), but this time when I check my journal it says:
2007.03.19 22:47:11 '1406113': requote 1.3277 / 1.3279 for open buy 0.04 EURUSD at 1.3281 sl: 0.0000 tp: 0.0000
2007.03.19 22:47:10 '1406113': request was accepted by server
2007.03.19 22:47:00 '1406113': instant order buy 0.04 EURUSD at 1.3281 sl: 0.0000 tp: 0.0000
...and there is no trade.
I have slippage set to 3. Shouldn't it have placed the order despite the requote, or am I missing something? How do I ensure that the orders are filled in the future?
Many thanks in advance!!

I think that is a good question for your broker. You are within 3 pips. However, I think that slippage is mostly applicable when you enter trades with a stop order. I think you will have to program in a requote handling routine in your EA if you want to use market orders. Will be interested in what you find out.
Good luck.

I have a problem with an EA I am working on.. it is supposed to make 2 instant orders but sometimes, I will get requoted and one of the instant orders will not go through.. is there some coding that will make sure both orders will be executed?
