has anyone seen error like this with the new version? using version 2.7

2009.07.01 20:00:49 LibOrderReliable GBPUSD,H1: function 'OrderReliableLastErr' is not found
Thanks for posting that, Gary. It is a piece of code I forgot to change when I started using the latest OrderReliable library, that affects the robot's ability to report order sending/modifying errors.

Fixed in V2.8.

On a different subject; that star bunch of criminals, the NFA, appear determined to drive retail traders away from US brokers. If they really do go ahead and enact some of the plans I have read about, then this robot will soon be unable to trade with them.

I have already opened my Alpari UK account. Once funded with a few hundred dollars, I shall be migrating most of my trading activities to that broker. I suggest everyone else starts looking for their own solutions - brokers outside the US.

Steve, what are they doing that would stop this EA from working? I am really interested.

From my IBFX criminals:
To our valued clients,

As you may know, the National Futures Association (NFA), has implemented new First-in, First-out (FIFO) requirements that will be in effect as of July 31, 2009. We at Interbank FX have been working hard on a solution and are confident that our traders will be able to use our MetaTrader 4 platform with little or no interruption. They will also continue to be able to use their MT4 expert advisors.

The NFA is striving to ensure the highest levels of integrity from all market participants and their intermediaries. We want to assure you that Interbank FX strives to be 100% compliant with the NFA.

We are currently working on some informational and instructional videos regarding the FIFO requirements and our solution, however most of you will be able to continue trading without any impact to your platform or strategies. In our effort to provide the best solution for your trading, you will be fully advised prior to any proposed changes.

We thank you for your continued support and wish you the best of luck with your trading.

Best regards,

IBFX

This doesn't actually make clear what is meant by First-in, First-out, but it does not take a stellar intellect to work out what this is.

In a private forum, I read that there are plans afoot to: ban pending trades; remove the ability to modify open trades from within the trading window.

I am not sure who these bucket-shop criminals intend to trade with when the rest of us have migrated to overseas criminals. I don't care; that is their problem.

No wonder IBFX are mounting such a charm offensive at the moment. Barely a moment goes by without the latest offer of a goodie from them. They must think we are all idiots.

Get a non-US account, ok?

There are any number of reasons why a trade closure will fail. These concern the trading platform and/or shenanigins by the criminal. When this happens there is nothing the robot can do except report the failure.

Did these trades close eventually?

I finally closed them?
All 3 errors due to my internet coneection and / or mt4 or the broker?

Tis up to you, but the trade closing function is the same in 2.7 as 2.8, and there is the bug that Gary spotted. Going back to 2.7 is a mistake.

I turned off the partclose feature. I have not had any more errors. I do not really know if this has anything to do with it, but you may want to try it.
PartClosedEnables = False - try it.

I haven't been using it either. I will have a look in case there is some mis-coding that I have missed.

I have both 1hr and 4hr time frames on demo not live, the 4hr places few trades but the quality of the trades is better and is consistently profitable. The 4hr timeframe has larger DD than 1hr so pls use good MM if trading live.

The Ihr places a lot of trades profitable one week and not profitable the next week. I do not believe the Ihr will be profitable on the long run.

I have not used it on the daily time frame. Also interested in knowing what results anyone is getting on the daily timeframe.

My experience mirrors watubes. At the mo, the 1H setting is streets ahead of the 4H. but these are recently started demos that I began simultaneously to see how they compare. I would be amazed if the 1H continues to be successful.

Cheers guys for continuing to whinge about this. I might not have noticed the problem for a while, else.

There is definitely something wrong; I have managed to recreate the same errors on my platform. Leave it with me to sort out - it will probably take a couple of days as I first have to work out how the problem has arisen.

I use FXDD.com, Error 129: Invalid price. Maybe problem with slippage or old quote for close price?
