Error trying to enter orders: failed sell limit 1.00 WDO @ N at 4166 [Invalid price]

[Natã Pereira]

I tried to read other topics in the forum, but unfortunately no solution solved my problem ...

I'm trying to leave an order in stone, for when the market reaches the price it will be executed.

But it turns out that when I make the order as in the function below, it pops up the message I put in the invalid price title, and tested using the ask or bid price, it works, but not as expected, if for example the market is in 4160 and I understand sending the order at 4180, it executes instantly, even if I put request.price = ask + 20, which from what I understand would be the solution, I don't know what to do anymore ...

Here's my role:

void ordemPedra(double preco){

request.action = TRADE_ACTION_PENDING;

        request.symbol = _Symbol;

request.volume = 1;

request.magic = 123;

request.type_time = ORDER_TIME_DAY;

request.deviation = 1;

preco = NormalizeDouble(preco,1);

request.price=preco;

request.type = ORDER_TYPE_BUY_LIMIT;

//enviar ordem

if(!OrderSend(request,result))

    Comment("OrderSend error ",GetLastError(), "  comment ", result.comment);

}

3. You can't place a pending order at Ask/Bid.

Yes you can on this centralized market. It's not like Forex.

request.action = TRADE_ACTION_PENDING ;

request.symbol = _Symbol;

request.volume = 1;

request.magic = 123;

request.type_time = ORDER_TIME_DAY;

request.deviation = 1;

Your post is confusing. Your title talk about SELL LIMIT but your code snippet is using BUY LIMIT.

If it's a BUY LIMIT at ASK or ASK +20, of course it executes immediately, the market is already at that price or better.  A BUY LIMIT price should be below the market if you want to wait the market to trigger it. If you want to place a pending above the market  and wait the market to reach it you have to use a BUY STOP.

Your title also talked about WDO@N but this symbol is not tradable, it's an aggregation symbol.

And finally using NormalizeDouble (price, 1) is not the right way to normalize a price, WDO prices is moving by 0.5 step.

Right,

I'm sorry, I made the post on the wrong forum.
