No error returned, but the result is unknown

New comment
 

Hello everyone,

I need some help to understand what this runtime error means. I have been trying to work it out, but I am making myself very confused about where the problem starts. 

   CurrAsk= MarketInfo(Curr,MODE_ASK);
   CurrBid= MarketInfo(Curr,MODE_BID);
   Ticket=60055216;
   Price=0.800133;
 
     bool ModifyOrder=OrderModify(Ticket,Price,CurrBid*2,TAKE_PROFIT,0,clrNONE);  //No error returned, but the result is unknown
     if(!ModifyOrder)
 
      Alert("Error With Order Modify. =",GetLastError());
      else
 
      Print("Order modified successfully.");
      }
 

log Report:

Note

Open price and expiration time can be changed only for pending orders. If unchanged values are passed as the function parameters, the error 1 (ERR_NO_RESULT) will be generated.


  • Besides that, I don't see OrderSelect() in your code snippet. You have to select order before you can modify it.

You do not need to select an order before modifying it. However if you are going to use OrderOpenPrice() etc in the modification, the order must be selected first.

I didn't know that.

Every piece of code I wrote always searched for the order(s) by looking into their types, magic numbers, instrument so I always had to do OrderSelect() before modify.

I have selected the order to Modify. 


 Ticket=60055216;

My SL isn't set properly at the moment. it follows, but its at an incorrect value

The error indicates that you are trying to modify the transaction, but new values are the same as old ones.

Print actual values and new values before you call OrderModify() and check that you are actually changing something.

Thank you, I'll have a look. Myself I believe its the way I coded SL in the order modify. SL is a long way above even parity.
 

hello everyone,

I think that I might be a little bit closer to get this working.  Why does ModifyOrder equal false?

  int min_stop=(int)SymbolInfoInteger(_Symbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL);
   CurrAsk= MarketInfo(Curr,MODE_ASK);
   CurrBid= MarketInfo(Curr,MODE_BID);
   Ticket=60162332;  // int
   Price=0.79633;    // double
   double Number= 0.00050;
   double NewStopLoss=Price+Number;
    
   bool ModifyOrder=OrderModify(Ticket,Price,NewStopLoss,TAKE_PROFIT,0,clrNONE);
        if(!ModifyOrder) Alert("Error With Order Modify. =",GetLastError());else Print("Order modified successfully.");

Because the OrderModify() failed.

  
{
   double  Number = 0.00050;   
   int     Ticket = 60287536; // sell
   double  Price  = 0.79259;  // sell
   
   int     Ticket1= 60287617; //buy
   double  Price1 = 0.79268;  //buy
 
   double BuyStopLoss=Price1-Number;
   double SellStopLoss=Price+Number;
      
   bool BuyModifyOrder=OrderModify(Ticket1,Price1,BuyStopLoss,TAKE_PROFIT,0,clrNONE);
        if(!BuyModifyOrder) Alert("Error With Order Modify. =",GetLastError());else Print("Order modified successfully.");
      

   bool SellModifyOrder=OrderModify(Ticket,Price,SellStopLoss,TAKE_PROFIT,0,clrNONE);
        if(!SellModifyOrder) Alert("Error With Order Modify. =",GetLastError());else Print("Order modified successfully.");
      }

Hello,

I manage to get half the code to work now.  Now I have found that if BuyStopLoss ,or SellStopLoss value isn't to 5 decimal places it will be false.  I'm not sure I understand this problem atm. I have given Price and Price1 a value, but price1 most of the time is greater than 5 decimal place.
