duplicated order issue

Hi friends, i encountered some duplicated order issues in these days. I am using Interbankfx as broker. My EA was hosted on swvps.

for example, there are two orders were just closed today:

14727629 2007.12.28 20:00buy0.93eurusd1.4718 1.4530 1.4724 2007.12.30 23:40 1.4724 0.00 0.00-3.26 55.80
14727632 2007.12.28 20:00buy0.93eurusd1.4718 1.4530 1.4724 2007.12.30 23:40 1.4724 0.00 0.00-3.26 55.80
actually, my EA only sent one request to the server. but two orders were opened finally. based on the log information, only the second transaction was confirmed. but when i check with IBFX, they said they did receive two requests.

Did anyone encounter similar issue before ? Any recommendation to solve this issue ?

thank you.

Your having a problem with your EA, you need to have it checked out

here is the code i am using to open an order. do you see any issue here:

ticket = OrderSend (Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lots, Ask, 3,Ask-2*N*Point, Ask+Takeprofit*Point, "My EA", Magicnumber, 0, Green);
if (ticket >0)
{ if (OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES)) Print("BUY Order opend:", OrderOpenPrice());
}
else Print("error opening BUY order:", GetLastError());
Sleep(10000);
return(0);

here is the same issue i encountered again:

Not sure where does 14743798 ticket come from.

Hi,

I don't see any problem with the part of the code posted. I don't know about the rest.

Also, you have given exactly the lines related to one order. Not even a single nearby lines in Experts/Journal Tab. May be there was another order! The order with ticket ending in 98 must be before the one ending in 99.

Full code and Full log should be checked and if they are ok, then you have to check with your hosting service or broker.

i can only find information related to 14743799 in my log file. i have checked my broker and they said everything is fine at their side and they do receive two requests. so i think it might be my host server problem and plan to move my EA to another server and have another try.

error is probably within your EA, you should use some kind boolean or something else (check your trigger that opens the trade)

In this case, there should have been something in the logs of MT4... no ?

hi all, i am able to slove the issue finally. It is due to my vps auto logon. my vps is able to autologon after root, but i did not realize it until today. so i enable another trade station using same admin id, which cause the double orders. now the issue was closed.
