Finding it difficult to send orders.

[Luciano Ola]

I keep getting the error "invalid volume", the account balance is 10 000 and the lot size is 0.07.

 

 

This is my code, I think it might not be the volume tbh. 

 

MqlTradeResult StageOneBuyRes={0};
MqlTradeRequest StageOneBuy={0};

StageOneBuy.action=TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;  
StageOneBuy.magic=MagicNumber;  
StageOneBuy.symbol=_Symbol;            // symbol
StageOneBuy.volume=Lot;
StageOneBuy.price=SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK);
StageOneBuy.sl=0;                  // Stop Loss is not specified
StageOneBuy.tp=0;                 // Take Profit is not specified 
StageOneBuy.deviation =7;  
StageOneBuy.type=ORDER_TYPE_BUY; // order type
StageOneBuy.type_filling = ORDER_FILLING_FOK;
StageOneBuy.comment = "test";
 

MqlTradeResult StageOneSellRes={1};
MqlTradeRequest StageOneSell={1};

StageOneSell.action=TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;  
StageOneSell.magic=MagicNumber;  
StageOneSell.symbol=_Symbol;            // symbol
StageOneSell.volume=Lot;
StageOneSell.price=SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID);
StageOneSell.sl=0;                  // Stop Loss is not specified
StageOneSell.tp=0;                 // Take Profit is not specified 
StageOneSell.deviation =7;  
StageOneSell.type=ORDER_TYPE_SELL; // order type
StageOneSell.type_filling = ORDER_FILLING_FOK;
StageOneSell.comment = "test";

What is the minimum volume allowed by your broker for this symbol ?

0.01.

I had a similar problem with my EA (got the same error). The traded volume was lower than the minimum allowed trading size of my broker or the increment/step size was to small. 

(Check the minimum volume size of your broker, maybe the minimum trading size or increment/step size is larger than your 0.07)  "already done"

Is the variable "Lot" of the double type?

It's of the double type, I haven't set an increment.

 

I tried to use 1 as the order Lot value earlier to see if it would work, and the error persisted, I'll try and use 10 now.

It didn't work.

Use

ZeroMemory(StageOneBuy);

ZeroMemory(StageOneSell);

Before you fill in the request and send the order.

It's already done with {0}. Exactly the same.

Initially both were 0 but I changed the sell one to 1 to see if that would solve the problem, which is why it says one in the code I posted.

Btw when I ran print to get the error code I was getting error code 4756, this is an invalid entry error, so it was not much help.

Any suggestions?
