Modify Order Window NOT OPENING

New comment
 
When I double click on an existing order or right click and then select "modify or delete", NOTHING pops up. Anyone experienced this before?
 
  • Check the connection of your Metatradre with the broker's server (I mean: Metatrader should be connected to your trading account);
  • restart Metatrader;
  • restart computer;
  • ask your broker (because any order is related to the broker only).

I've seen something similar in MT4. Infrequently, it thinks the order is pending, but has actually opened. So delete fails at the broker, and you can't close because it thinks it's pending.

Restart the terminal.

 

I identified the problem.

I had it after changing to a different monitor, so the problem is the window is outside of the new monitors space.

To fix the problem open MT4 and click on FIle -> Open Data Folder

Navigate to the config folder and open the terminal.ini file.

Look for the following 4 lines:

Dlg_202_left=somerandomnumber
Dlg_202_top=somerandomnumber
Dlg_196_left=somerandomnumber
Dlg_196_top=somerandomnumber

change it to :

Dlg_202_left=1
Dlg_202_top=1
Dlg_196_left=1
Dlg_196_top=1


Save the file and restart MT4.
