'Echo' in placing orders

New comment
 

I'm experiencing the problem of 'echo' when placing an order... I try to set one stop order but the EA always set a lot of orders...

Very weird. I assume it will be the fact that the ticks come very quick after each other and there needs to be some kind of delay after placing the first order, but I can't find it...

if (X > (Y + 0.5))
 {
   if (totalPendingBuys < 6)
   {
     gBuyTicket21 = OrderSend(_Symbol,OP_BUYSTOP,LotSize,Ask+2.5,MaxSlippage,Bid-StopLoss,Ask+100,"Buy order 21",MagicNumber,0,clrGreen);

   }
   
   if (totalOpenSells < MaxOrderDirection)
   {
     NewSellTicket = OrderSend(_Symbol,OP_SELLSTOP,LotSize,Bid-1,MaxSlippage,Ask+StopLoss,Bid-100,"New Sell Ticket 01",555,0,clrRed);
  
   }
   
   Y = X;
   Sleep(250);

 }

Anyone that can help me with a solution here?

Thx!

 

So "Sleep()" function doesnt work in backtesting based on MQL4 documentation,

And what are the X,Y variables and their values,

It may the if( X>(Y+0.5)) is always true,then it will send order immediately after calling each if condition.

You mean sleep function cannot be used in backtesting? I didn't know this, thanks for the info.

X is the current average of the bid and ask ((bid+ask)/2

Y starts in init Y=X

Yes,it's based on MQL4 documentation if you have read it.

So the code is incomplete,we dont know when the if condition will be true by which value.it should be defined,

So on which pair did you test?

So 0.5 for 3 digit pairs will be 50pips,for 5digit pairs will be 5000pips,we dont know the exact condition behind this incomplete code.
