Does anyone recognize this MT4 error message: I have an EA running, but it is not placing trades. I checked the MT4 journal tab and found this message:

"102069: order sell .30 eurjpy opening at 148.8400 sl: 149.8400 tp: 148.5400 failed [Off quotes]"

What does "off quotes" mean? And how can this be fixed? Thx

BenQ,
At first glance, it might be the the extra zero's on your prices causing it to fail mate.

Try the NormalizeDouble command to bring your variables back to the 2 decimal places the eur/jpy has.

Or...

To make it the EA work with any symbol you'd use the "Digits" variable to specify how many decimal places.

i.e.

double BidPrice=1.22323113444;
CorrectedBidPrice= NormalizeDouble(BidPrice,Digits);

// Output for EURUSD would be 1.2232
// Output for EURJPY would, of course, be 1.22

....Give that a burl dude!



Quote
<table class="variable" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr valign="top"> <td><nobr>double NormalizeDouble(</nobr></td> <td>double value, int digits)</td></tr></tbody> </table> Rounds floating point number to specified decimal places.

Parameters:

<table class="params" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top">value</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top"> - </td> <td width="100%">Floating point value.</td></tr> <tr> <td valign="top">digits</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top"> - </td> <td width="100%">Precision format, number of digits after decimal point (0-8).</td></tr></tbody></table> Sample:



double var1=0.123456789;
Print(NormalizeDouble(var1,5));
// output: 0.12346

I'm sure I had that error on my pivot alert EA. I can't replicate the error now.

I thought it was the NormalizeDouble command that fixed it.

Try it anyway.

Perhaps "Off Quotes" means that the market had moved too far by the time the EA submitted the order. Just guessing here.

I think you're right Dial.

Looking through the possible errors, "Off Quotes" is the only possible error that even comes close to notifying of that situation.

(The NormalizeDouble command is good for when you get "Invalid Price" errors.)

BenQ,

Increasing your slippage value in the OrderSend command may help. Depending on how much slippage you're prepared to take.

Another thing to keep in mind:

If you're creating Limit/Stop orders (and not "At Market") be careful to differentiate between Bid and Ask. (...in a case where you are using one of those two variables to specify your order rate.)

For example:
If you are creating a Buy order make sure you use the "Ask" variable for your calculations, and so on.
