Corrections to EA

Specification

I made a very simple EA but I get error "OrderSend error 130" in all backtests done in MetaTrader 4. I don't understand why the EA opens succesfully some trades (it is a long only EA) but it returns this error for some other trades. I think a checked correctly this error is not due to any of the next reasons:

  • stop loss and take profit are set as prices, and they are well established for a buy stop order, which is the way I'm trying to open each position.
  • it is said on some webs that ECN brokers (I am doing the backtest with Admiral Markets UK, which is a ECN borker) don't allow to use non-zero TP and SL when using OrderSend command. Instead, 0 must be used for these values and then replaced with OrderModify. I don't think this is the problem because, if this were the problem, why some trades are succesfully placed doing exactly the same?
  • stop levels are not enough close to open prices for the broker to give an error. Typically SL is placed about 50 pips (in 4 digit broker, 500 in 5 digit broker). I am using a 5 digit broker, since the command Digits returns a value of 5.
  • ope price, SL and TP are normalized double to Digits, so I don't expect to have any error for this reason.

I can not find any other reason for this error and that is why I would like someone to correct this EA.

I will consider this work is done when:

  • I run five backtest in Metatrader 4, each one in different timeframes and different dates, and none of them gives this "OrderSend error 130".
  • A clear explanation on how the error was corrected is given.
  • Some debug lines for assuring this error is not appearing anymore are added to the original source code.

Yes, that is exactly what I need. The bot should not be restricted to a fixed list of currency pairs. It should technically scan all available Quotex pairs in real time and automatically select the pair where the market conditions are strongest. The bot should analyze each pair using multiple confirmations, such as short-term price momentum, trend direction, market structure, support/resistance, candle formation
