MT5 testing

[Paul]

Despite several attempts and re-downloading the latest versions, I'm still unable to get a successful test on the example experts supplied with MT5. I always receive the following errors (example)

failed market buy 0.79 EURUSD [Unsupported filling mode]

CTrade::OrderSend: market buy 0.79 EURUSD [invalid fill]

Is the tester broken or do I need to set it up differently?

 

Regards, Paul.

To answer the question myself in case anyone else is having the same trouble...

I think the broker's server may be set up differently in some cases but the following has solved my issues. In the file ExpertTrade.mqh are two functions, bool CExpertTrade::Buy & bool CExpertTrade::Sell. I have added the following line of code in each of these functions immediately after the line

stops_level=m_symbol.StopsLevel()*m_symbol.Point();

 add this:

SetTypeFilling(ORDER_FILLING_IOC);

 Re-compile this file and also any code units that reference it and, in my case anyway, the tester now places orders correctly.

Regards, Paul.
