EA Verification Issue*

New comment
 

Hello All,

I have an EA for market. It works fine in my back testing AND in my Live account.

But for some reason I can NOT get it to verify in the MQL5 testing.

I am using pending orders and only trading once a day.

I have attached the errors I'm getting. So it seems to work on GBPUSD but has issues with the other pairs.

It is not coded to a specific pair or timeframe....

Any Ideas...??

Regards*

      Thanks....I think....

      I did search....


      The orders are set to 200 pips away from the current market price already...

      If I move the orders further from the market price I just get the following errors..>>

      Any other ideas...? I'll have a look through that list....

      Don't just arbitrarily change the price. Do a proper verification of the Stops and Freeze Levels. And make sure to use the proper reference market price Ask or Bid depending on the situation.

      Read and follow up on the links provided.

      Seems the problem is in the distance from Market Price for the Pending Orders.

      'Pips' is different on different instruments.


      For example: 200 pips on EURUSD is actually 2000 pips on GoldUSD.....etc....


      Thanks for replying*

      Don't use pips! That is only valid for Forex mainly and the contract specifications for all symbols, including Forex, don't even reference the "pip" anyway.

      Use points and tick size instead and always reference the contract specifications for the symbol and adjust accordingly.

       

      the term pip only applies to currencies.

      Unless you manually adjust your SL/TP for each separate symbol, using Point means code breaks on 4 digit brokers, exotics (e.g. USDZAR where spread is over 500 points), and metals. Compute what a logical PIP is and use it, not points.
