Questions from Beginners MQL5 MT5 MetaTrader 5 - page 83

New comment

I have encountered a problem - when testing at a certain point, for unknown reasons, the error "invalid stops" appears, but the stops are correct.

The algorithm is trivial - put an order

   MqlTradeResult result = { 0 };
   MqlTradeRequest request = { 0 };
   
   double price = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, isBuy ? SYMBOL_ASK : SYMBOL_BID);
   double sl = price - lvl * _Point;
   double tp = price + lvl * _Point;

   request.action = TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;
   request.magic = magic;
   request.symbol = _Symbol;
   request.volume = lot;
   request.price = price;
   request.deviation = deviation;
   request.type = isBuy ? ORDER_TYPE_BUY : ORDER_TYPE_SELL;

   OrderSend(request, result);

   order = result.order;
   
   if (order)
   {   
      ZeroMemory(result);
      ZeroMemory(request);

      request.action = TRADE_ACTION_SLTP;
      request.order = order;
      request.symbol = _Symbol;
      request.sl = isBuy ? sl : tp;
      request.tp = isBuy ? tp : sl;

      if (!OrderSend(request, result))
      {
         Print(" --- Can not modify order --- error = " + GetLastError() + " order = " + order + " price = " + price);
      }
   }

when it is closed, repeat the procedure

As a result, I've got such results (I've started in 2010.05.01):

What could the problem be? (at that time 80% of my deposit was free)

Forux: Met with a problem - when testing at a certain point for unknown reasons, an error "invalid stops" appears, but the stops are correct.

This is what we ended up with (started 2010.05.01):

What could be the problem? (80% of the deposit was free at the time)

The error message pops up in response to position modification. At the same time, there is no check of the allowable distance of sl/tp levels from the current price in the code. It may happen that the current market price approaches the levels of sl or tp at a distance shorter than allowed by the server. Look in ORDER_STOPS_LEVEL handbook
Yedelkin:
The error message pops up in response to position modification. The code does not check the allowable distance of sl/tp levels from the current price. It may happen that while processing two trade requests, the current market price has moved closer to the sl or tp levels than the distance allowed by the server. Look in the ORDER_STOPS_LEVEL handbook

Made changes to the code to check:

price = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, isBuy ? SYMBOL_ASK : SYMBOL_BID);
Print(" --- Can not modify order --- error = " + GetLastError() + " order = " + order + " price = " + price);

as a result the error line did not change (i.e. the price did not change). And it probably couldn't, it's two and a half years of testing on minutes, on alpari history (98% history quality).

It looks more like an error of the MetaTrader itself, because before that the same thing was happening, but there was no error.

Forux:Made changes to the code to check:
Well, did you check for allowable indentation too?
Yedelkin:
Ну а проверку на допустимый отступ тоже сделали?
Yedelkin:
Have you checked the allowable indentation as well?

The allowable distance in the test is 0. And the price has not changed, after the error it is the same as the price at which the order was created, before the modification.

price = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, isBuy ? SYMBOL_ASK : SYMBOL_BID);
Print("SymbolInfoInteger(_Symbol, SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL) == " + SymbolInfoInteger(_Symbol, SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL));
Print(" --- Can not modify order --- error = " + GetLastError() + " isBuy = " + isBuy + " order = " + order +  " price = " + price);

Forux: And the price hasn't changed, after the error it is the same as the price at which the order was created before the modification.

The price itself (in general) may initially be closer to the levels than the server currently allows. Therefore it is always advisable to check such a condition.

Forux : The allowable distance in the test is 0.

Yes, it's clear now that checking for indentation doesn't solve the problem in this case. Did I correctly understand that the sl/tp levels for a Sell position are set based on the Bid price?

Yes, and entry and exit are either at Ask or Bid, depending on the order type.

Question removed. (Well, and the spread o_o).

Hello! There was no MT-5 programme before, but now they have started giving me in the "signals" section

I don't need any information. I use mobile Internet and pay for every Mb.

And these signals increased the consumption of the Internet by 3-4 times.

Question: how to configure what and where not to receive these signals? I have not subscribed to any of the signals.
