Error 138

I'm getting an "OrderSend error 138" in my log section when I run my expert. Under error codes it says error 138 is a requote error and I wouldn't have the slightest idea as to what that error means.

Anyone know what that error means?

It means that you're not able to send your order through fast enough. You need to either change your orders over to pending orders, or to widen your slippage allowed. I had to change the slippage allowed on one of my EA's a few pips (+3 pips) to get it to work, but it's never given me adverse side effects, so I would just change your slippage allowed to something a bit bigger.

Ah ok, so its not anything to worry about from a programming perspective. Ive got my slippage set at 3 already so I don't know wether im prepared to increase any more than this epsecially since i'm trading on the 15M scale at the moment but yer, we shall see. Thanks

I'm also getting error 130 but when I print the stop loss it comes out as 1.9543 for example so I don't see anything wrong with that stop loss... and my system can't open a trade because of that. How do I fix this problem? And I also get order modify errors... same one... 130.

Error 130 eh?

I'd check to make sure your stoploss isn't too close (check broker's stoplevel) or on the wrong side of the order... something like that.

Yerp i was on the wrong side of the order but for the modify order it all seems to correct yet its still comming up with the error .

In your error handling for the OrderSend function, print your entryprice, stoploss, takeprofit, etc... it will help you figure out what the problem is.

Yerp I do that but doesn't always make the problem apparent... but I've sorted the problem now I think.

I'm having this same issue error 138. Only weird thing is I'm running the same strategy on 6 pairs and only the AUD/USD will not close the position because of this 138 error? Why would it only be one pair and not any of the other 6?
