Howdy Steve,
I opened a demo with Tadawul FX and put the KG and Scoobies on it. Am in the US (Texas) and it's one of the offshore brokers I am checking out.

On all the baskets for all the EAs I am getting the error:

Order send failed with error (131): Invalid price.

Baskets either all get cancelled with the error or one, two at most three pairs are sent. I added the OrderReliable to the include folder thinking it might help.
No luck. I then looked up possible reasons for the error.

Would you like to be more specific about which robots and which versions? If the bots are working out lot sizes incorrectly, or working them out correctly but not adjusting for crim-acceptable min lot sizes, then this needs sorting out.

24Hr V1.7, Proper V 2.9, KG V3.
When I chose Robot calculate lot size, the error is in all the baskets and no basket is opened.
I then turned off Robot calculate lot size (base lot 0.1), the error message continued but now one or two pairs in each basket will be sent each time, once three pairs even though I had input minimum of four pairs in the basket.

This was happenning to all three bots

Thanks for the speedy response. May you live long.

I had a live account with Tadawulfx, their support is good and never had any problem withdrawing money (tripled my account), BUT their price feed is HEAVILY FILTERED (don't even think about taking advantage of their low spreads on eurgbp or eurchf during the asian session with scalping eas) and you'll get lots of requotes and slipage, their demo (less filtered) does not reflect true live account performance, at least it didn't while I had my account open with them.

Truth to tell, I cannot see anything in the code that might cause this, and nobody else has reported this.

Tell you what, post a screen capture of the chart, just in case we can see something you have missed.

Thanks. I did look them up on Forex Peace Army and numerous other sites and everybody had the same complaint you have. Ability to withdraw my gains was most important to me as I am a full time business trader and this is how I pay my bills. It is just so difficult finding reliable metatrader brokers. I traded manually with Interactive Brokers for years and still have large funds with them. I also trade equities, futures and US treasuries and still do those manually with IB. Automation is the only reason to keep looking for a good MT4 broker for forex. On the MT4 circuit I have used FXDD, IBFX, FXCM (US and presently UK) and FXPRO. I also still have accounts with IBFX , FXPRO and FXCM UK. I called IBFX today and was told they are planning a UK branch which will possibly be ready in January. I have three business accounts with IBFX and unless they actually open in UK in January, I will be leaving them.
FXPRO will no longer be accepting US accounts from January so I need to move my funds there elsewhere which is why I am thinking of TDFX.
If you dont mind my asking, since you left TDFX who are you with now and what has been your experience.

Cheers,
Watube

I am not from USA, so I don't have any problems using European brokers. At the moment I am using AlpariUK, FxPro and Dukascopy (no mt4).
Best of all is Dukascopy (execution, spread) but they don't offer mt4.
FxPro has better spreads than Alpari most of the time, and their support is far supperior to the one offered by Alpari (had an issue with them that took ages to get solved). The only con I've seen with FxPro is the amount of pips that have to be left between price and pending orders/trailing stops (Alpari let's you tighten more your pending orders/trailing stop).

Could it be that not only his smallest lot size is 0.05, but his min lot size increments are also 0.05?

For me, for manual forex trading IB Booktrader is excellent. I also heard Dukas is Ok but have not tried them. FxPro is Ok and I would have stayed them for a while if they were not getting rid of US accounts. I quadrupled my account with FXPro in my first month. After my first withdrawal, the requote, invalid prices etc began. The lag was really annoying but that is the point, these criminals rob Peter (with impunity) to pay Paul. Just be sure you are the one getting paid (Paul).
I called CitiFxPro yesterday. I may also give them a try at some time. They now have MT4. You can hedge with a US or Swiss Account. None of the NFA BS since they are a bank. The highest leverage they have is 50:1 and 25:1 on several pairs which is about what I am getting at IB anyway. But since it is Citibank I know if I make profit, I will get PAID. I only developed cold feet (for now) when I looked at their spreads and they did not seem competitive at all. Any have a nice weekend. Happy Pipping.

Yes it is. Thanks. It was late last night or I would have realised this. Thanks for the contribution.

watube, your criminal will accept 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 etc not 0.11 as shown on the screen. This is something for me to correct in the coding. I assume this has not come up before because not many crims have a minimum step of 0.05.

I will sort this out at some point.
