EA does not execute trades in another symbol

[cookie2398]

Hi, I am new to Metatrader 5.

I've got kind of a weird problem:

I am using an EA which is working completely perfect when I attach it to the symbol ENQ.

After detaching it and attaching it to the symbol DD, the German DAX future, it doesn't execute any trades. There is enough cash in the account, which means I can trade DD when I manually put on trades and I can see no error messages.

Any idea what could be the reason for that behavior?

Thx

Can you share the code ?

The problematic part is this one:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Open Buy position                                                |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OpenBuy(double lot,double sl,double tp)
  {
   sl=m_symbol.NormalizePrice(sl);
   tp=m_symbol.NormalizePrice(tp);

   double long_lot=lot;
//--- check volume before OrderSend to avoid "not enough money" error (CTrade)
   double free_margin_check= m_account.FreeMarginCheck(m_symbol.Name(),ORDER_TYPE_BUY,long_lot,m_symbol.Ask());
   double margin_check     = m_account.MarginCheck(m_symbol.Name(),ORDER_TYPE_SELL,long_lot,m_symbol.Bid());
   if(free_margin_check>margin_check)
     {
      if(m_trade.Buy(long_lot,m_symbol.Name(),m_symbol.Ask(),sl,tp))
        {
         if(m_trade.ResultDeal()==0)
           {
            Print("#1 Buy -> false. Result Retcode: ",m_trade.ResultRetcode(),
                  ", description of result: ",m_trade.ResultRetcodeDescription());
            PrintResultTrade(m_trade,m_symbol);
           }
         else
           {
            Print("#2 Buy -> true. Result Retcode: ",m_trade.ResultRetcode(),
                  ", description of result: ",m_trade.ResultRetcodeDescription());
            PrintResultTrade(m_trade,m_symbol);
           }
        }
      else
        {
         Print("#3 Buy -> false. Result Retcode: ",m_trade.ResultRetcode(),
               ", description of result: ",m_trade.ResultRetcodeDescription());
         PrintResultTrade(m_trade,m_symbol);
        }
     }
   else
     {
      Print(__FUNCTION__,", ERROR: method CAccountInfo::FreeMarginCheck returned the value ",DoubleToString(free_margin_check,2));
      return;
     }
//---
  }

It always ends in #3 with Retcode 10006 (rejected)

The thing is:

In the ENQ, the system works fine and trades and everything OK

In the DD and FDXM all the orders are rejected.

Any idea?

And in the demo, DD and FDXM are executed - that's weird isn't it?

You need to check all trade permissions for these symbols. Check using a script.

That sounds reasonable.

Where do I find such a script to check the trading permissions on a certain symbol ??

Hi you can use 

SymbolInfoInteger() 

Function.

SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_CLOSEONLY	Allowed only position close operations	SymbolInfoInteger
SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_DISABLED	Trade is disabled for the symbol	SymbolInfoInteger
SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_FULL	No trade restrictions	SymbolInfoInteger
SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_LONGONLY	Allowed only long positions	SymbolInfoInteger
SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_SHORTONLY	Allowed only short positions	SymbolInfoInteger
