Error 0 from OrderSelect

Pableeto 2019.07.10 18:53

Hi guys, I am totally new to programming and I am getting crazy of this error. It always gives me Error 0 with "ticket_1". I have no freaking idea why

if(ticket_0==0 || ticket_1==0 || ticket_2==0)
{
            SL_0 = Ask - 200*_Point;
            TP_0 = Ask + 100*_Point;
            ticket_0 = OrderSend(symbol, OP_BUY, Vol, Ask, slippage, SL_0, TP_0, comment, magic, expiration, arrow_color);



            OP_1   = TP_0;                                                       
            OP_1   = NormalizeDouble(OP_1, 4);
            SL_1   = OP_1 - (200 * Point);
            TP_1   = OP_1 + (100 * Point);
            ticket_1      = OrderSend(symbol, cmd_1, Vol, OP_1, slippage, SL_1, TP_1, comment, magic, expiration, arrow_color);
            if(ticket_1>0)
            {
               Print("Wysłano pierwsze zlecenie ticket_1");
            }
            else
            {
               Print("Nie udało się wysłać pierwszego zlecenia ticket_1. Błąd = ",GetLastError());
            }
            
            
            OP_2   = SL_0; 
            OP_2   = NormalizeDouble(OP_2, 4);
            SL_2   = OP_2 + (200 * Point);
            TP_2   = OP_2 - (100 * Point);                                                
            ticket_2=OrderSend(symbol,cmd_2,Vol,OP_2,slippage,SL_2,TP_2,comment,magic,expiration,arrow_color);
            if(ticket_2>0)
            {
               Print("Wysłano pierwsze zlecenie ticket_2");
            }
            else
            {
               Print("Nie udało się wysłać pierwszego zlecenia ticket_2. Błąd = ",GetLastError());
            }
}
else
{
Print("Wysłano już pierwsze zlecenia ticket_0 ticket_1 i ticket_2");
}            
            
         
       
           if(ticket_0<=0)                
             {
             }
             else               
             {
                
                if(OrderSelect(ticket_0, SELECT_BY_TICKET)!=true)
                {
                   Print("Nie udało się pobrać zlecenie ticket_0 o numerze: ", ticket_0, "Błąd: ", GetLastError());
                }
                else
                {
                   
                   Vol_0       = OrderLots();                 
                   OCT_0       = OrderCloseTime();           
                   if(OCT_0<=0)                                      
                   {
                   }
                   else
                   {
                   
                     bool OS_1   = OrderSelect(ticket_1, SELECT_BY_TICKET);
                     if(OS_1 == false)
                     {
                        Print("Nie udało się pobrać zlecenia ticket_1 na etapie sprawdzania czy się uruchomiło. Ticket: ", ticket_1, "Błąd: ", GetLastError());
                     }

Ok, I understand that there is no error. But why doesn't it selecting the bloody order?

William Roeder 2019.07.10 19:41 #2

OrderSelect returns a bool (true or false) it does not return 0.
Where did you declare ticket_x? Show all the relevant code.
You should be able to read your code out loud and have it make sense. You would never write if( (2+2 == 4) == true) would you? if(2+2 == 4) is sufficient. So don't write if(bool == true), just use if(bool) or if(!bool). Code becomes self documenting when you use meaningful variable names, like bool isLongEnabled where as Long_Entry sounds like a trigger price or a ticket number and "if long entry" is an incomplete sentence.

These are my declarations.

Thank You very much for Your advices, I will try to follow them, and I really appreciate Your help with it.

Your logical approach that if(bool) is enough is very reasonable, but I just sow a lot of instances of using if(bool==true). But You are right, it's stupid.

Don't double post! You already had this thread open.

Why did you post your MT4 question in the Root / MT5 EA section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)

Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

double SL   = 2 * krok * _Point;           
double TP   = krok * _Point;

Global and static variables work exactly the same way in MT4/MT5/C/C++.
1. They are initialized once on program load.
2. They don't update unless you assign to them.
3. In C/C++ you can only initialize them with constants, and they default to zero. In MTx you should only initialize them with constants. There is no default in MT5 (or MT4 with strict which you should always use.)
  MT4/MT5 actually compiles with non-constants, but the order that they are initialized is unspecified and don't try to use any price or server related functions in OnInit (or on load,) as there may be no connection/chart yet:
  1. Terminal starts.
  2. Indicators/EAs are loaded. Static and globally declared variables are initialized. (Do not depend on a specific order.)
  3. OnInit is called.
  4. For indicators OnCalculate is called with any existing history.
  5. Human may have to enter password, connection to server begins.
  6. New history is received, OnCalculate called again.
  7. New tick is received, OnCalculate/OnTick is called. Now TickValue, TimeCurrent, account information and prices are valid.
4. Unlike indicators, EAs are not reloaded on chart change so you must reinitialize them, if necessary.

Always use strict. Fixing the warnings will save you hours of debugging.
Use the debugger or print out your variables, including _LastError and prices and find out why.

            ticket_1      = OrderSend(symbol, cmd_1, Vol, OP_1, slippage, SL_1, TP_1, comment, magic, expiration, arrow_color);
            if(ticket_1>0)
            {
               Print("Wysłano pierwsze zlecenie ticket_1");
            }
            else
            {
               Print("Nie udało się wysłać pierwszego zlecenia ticket_1. Błąd = ",GetLastError());
            }

In your other post you call GetLastError after multiple OrderSends which is useless as the second call invalidates the error of the first.

I didn't want to double my post. I just added next comment. I will read all the rules not make suck a f...k up next time.

Thank very much for Your time and answers. I will work though all Your advices and see what happens
