No error returned, but the result is unknown

New comment
 

Hello everyone,

I have had this problem before and I still do not understand its meaning. The code below causes it sometimes, I still am clueless as why this happening again.

To me the statement is double dutch..

there isn't an error, so how can a result be unknown?

     
   bool TrailingStop=OrderModify(ticket,Price,Stoploss,TakeProfit,0,clrGray);
   if(!TrailingStop)  Operation();
   else Operation();
  }
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void Operation()
{

 switch (GetLastError()) // Condition validation

GrumpyDuckMan: I have had this problem before and I still do not understand its meaning. 

You lost connection after sending the modify. The server may or may not have received the request, and if it did, may or may not have modified the order. You never received a result, so the result is unknown.

Log the problem. Return from OnTick. When the terminal reconnects and calls OnTick again, see if you need to redo the modify or not.

 

Hello whroeder1,

Very interesting, I have had some concerns that when my terminal is unattended that the EA may stop or freeze up.  Until now I have assumed that it was some sort of strange coding error.
