ASK: Work on Strategy Tester, but not on Live

[eagleeyes0618]

Hi all,

i have a problem just with my very simple script int ticket = OrderSend(..); that i put it in OnTick() function

This script works well when i run it on Strategy Tester, and that int ticket int ticket returns the ticket number when i print it (this means it works right?), but

This script doesn't work when i run it on Live demo account, and that int ticket int ticket returns -1 when i print it (this means doesn't work right?)

any idea for this case ?

did i miss something here ? 

 

Many Great thanks in advance

 

Here is my simple script on OnTick() event

input int   MaHiPer=5;
input int   MaLoPer=5;
input double volume=1.00;

double cur_ma_hi;
double cur_ma_lo; 

double Buy_TakeProfit;
double Buy_StopLoss;

double Sell_TakeProfit;
double Sell_StopLoss;

bool order_on = false;
string symbol = Symbol();
int ticket;

double cur_can_op = iOpen(NULL,0,0);
double space;
   
string comment;

bool order;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Expert tick function                                             |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnTick(){
   cur_ma_hi = iMA(NULL,0,MaHiPer,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_HIGH,0);
   cur_ma_lo = iMA(NULL,0,MaLoPer,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_LOW,0); 
   Buy_TakeProfit = Bid + 0.0060;
   Buy_StopLoss   = Bid - 0.0030;
   Sell_TakeProfit = Bid - 0.0060;
   Sell_StopLoss   = Bid + 0.0030;
   cur_can_op = iOpen(NULL,0,0);
   
   if(cur_can_op>cur_ma_hi){
      space = cur_can_op - cur_ma_hi;
      if(space>0.0003){
         comment = "SELL !!";
         if(order_on==false){
            //take SELL - TP - SL
            ticket = OrderSend(symbol,OP_SELL,volume,Ask,10,Sell_StopLoss,Sell_TakeProfit,"SELL order",0,0,clrRed);
            //order_on = true;
         } 
      }
   }else if(cur_can_op<cur_ma_lo){
      space = cur_ma_lo - cur_can_op;
      if(space>0.0003){
         comment = "BUY !!";
         if(order_on==false){
            //take BUY - TP - SL
            ticket = OrderSend(symbol,OP_BUY,volume,Ask,10,Buy_StopLoss,Buy_TakeProfit,"BUY order",0,0,clrGreen);
            //order_on = true;
         }
      } 
   }
   
   Comment("Ask:"+Ask+"     Bid:"+Bid
