If this is a known issue, can support provide an estimate of the time a build that fixes this will be out? And until then, is it possible to provide an older build for download which is not affected by this bug, if there is such a build that is still supported by current server builds?
If this is not a known issue, could support please refer to the code below in order to reproduce the problem (or let me know if something is simply wrong with my code...). If possible, please respond in this topic to confirm whether or not you've been able to reproduce the problem, thanks!
Code used:
int start() { //---- Sleep(10000); //give prices some time to change OrderSelect(0,SELECT_BY_POS); OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,10); Sleep(10000); //give prices some time to change int a=0; a=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,10,0,0); if (a==0) Print(GetLastError()); //---- return(0); }This code generally worked when testing on two different brokers' demo accounts, but there were instances in the logs such as this:

Clearly the requote at 18:24:21 was not accepted even though is was within the 10 pips, as there was no log entry nor trade in the trade log:

Note the out-of-order trade log is due to multiple trades being open at times when the a trade closing had failed. This was probably not always due to slippage, and also I've noticed my if (a==0) error check for trades opening was incorrect.
For Orderclose the logs either had pileups like this (though I can't be sure that these weren't due to other errors--but still in that case why was the code simply not resumed as usual?):

...or what appears to have been a sucessful requote, but why the double operation and log entries seconds apart? Is the slippage parameter not actually handled on the server side but requires the order operation to be retried?

I'd be glad to do further tests and logging if needed. Please do respond in this thread to the questions further above, thanks!
