Trailing stop does not work on Sell position

New comment
 

Hi, Everyone,

I'm getting error whenever I'm starting Strategy Tester. The problem is that Trailing stop works on Buy signals but it does not work on Sell signals. When I place TP and SL in sell OrderSend code everything is fine and automated system works. But I want to activate Trailing stop on it.

I deactivated buy OrderSend and run the code just for Sell and received this error:

TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit 1164 at 2011.03.30 22:00 exceeded)


Here is my Trailing stop code

Thanks in advance


//Position Send
   Trail();
      if(SignalStatus()=="Buy" && Orders(1111)==0) 
      int tiketbuy=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lot,Ask,5,0,0,"Mohammad",1111,0,clrBlue);
      if(SignalStatus()=="Sell" && Orders(2222)==0)
      int tiketsell=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,lot,Bid,5,0,0,"Mohammad",2222,0,clrRed);  
/////////////////////

void Trail()
{
   for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0;i--)
   {
    if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
    {
       if(OrderMagicNumber()==1111) // Buy Position
       {
           if((Bid-OrderOpenPrice())>100*Point)
           {
               if(OrderStopLoss()<(Bid-100*Point))
               {
               bool ordermb=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-100*Point,OrderTakeProfit(),0,clrYellow);
               }
           }
        }
       if(OrderMagicNumber()==2222) // Sell Position
        {
              if((OrderOpenPrice()-Ask)>100*Point)
              {
                  if(OrderStopLoss()>(Ask+100*Point))
                  {
                  bool orderms=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+100*Point,OrderTakeProfit(),0,clrYellow);
                  }
              } 
        }  
     }
   }
}

  
  1. bool orderms=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+100*Point,OrderTakeProfit(),0,clrYellow);

    Check your return codes, and report your errors (including market prices and your variables). Don't look at GLE/LE unless you have an error. Don't just silence the compiler (strict), it is trying to help you.

  2.                   if(OrderStopLoss()>(Ask+100*Point))
    Your initial sell SL is zero (none) so your if will never be true. Add ||OrderStopLoss()==0 or set a SL on the OrderSend.

Thanks a lot  ||OrderStopLoss()==0 works here
