How do I open a market order correctly? - page 9

fxsaber:
The OrderSend+Sleep(0) option is not slower than OrderSend+OnTradeTransaction. I've measured it. Therefore, I don't use the second variant not for asynchronous transactions.

I'm embarrassed to ask if"OrderSend+Sleep(0)" !

prostotrader:

The OrderSend+Sleep(0) variant is temporary, because it's a shortcoming of developers (don't use it as an example :) ).

When it's fixed, only OrderSend will be left

Is this your opinion or insider?

Yes, there is no equality.

// 13.11.2016:
//   Add: Полная синхронизация OrderSend, OrderModify, OrderClose, OrderDelete с торговым окружением (реал-тайм и история) - как в MT4.
//        Максимальное время синхронизации можно задать через MT4ORDERS::OrderSend_MaxPause в мкс. Среднее время синхронизации в MT5 ~1 мс.

Not corrected, because it's not a bug, but a feature.

How to work correctly in MT5 with OrderSend

Try writing the following function in your EA

1. i = 0.
2. Open a position on symbol[i].
3. If i++ >= 5, we exit.
4. If there is no slippage, we return to step 2. If there is slippage, we exit.

Someone implements it immediately

// MQL4&5-code

#property strict

#include <MT4Orders.mqh>    // https://www.mql5.com/ru/code/16006

void Func( const string &Symbols[] )
{
  const int Total = ArraySize(Symbols);
  
  for (int i = 0; i < Total; i++)
  {
    const double Price = SymbolInfoDouble(Symbols[i], SYMBOL_ASK);
    const int digits = (int)SymbolInfoInteger(Symbols[i], SYMBOL_DIGITS);
    
    if (!OrderSelect(OrderSend(Symbols[i], OP_BUY, 1, Price, 100, 0, 0, DoubleToString(Price, digits)), SELECT_BY_TICKET) ||
        (NormalizeDouble(Price - OrderOpenPrice(), digits) != 0)) // если не получилось открыть или есть проскальзывание - выходим
      break;
  }
}

void OnStart() // OnTick
{
  const string Symbols[] = {"EURUSD", "GBPUSD", "AUDUSD", "USDCAD", "USDJPY"};
  
  Func(Symbols);
}

And someone is waiting for mana from the developers.
