Help for Ordersend - 2 Step Process for ECN

Hi all,

I need some assistance with this code below:

ordertick = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lots, Ask, Slippage, 0, 0, NULL, MagicNumber, 0, Blue);
if (ordertick > 1){
if (OrderSelect(ordertick, SELECT_BY_TICKET))OrderModify(Order Ticket(),OrderOpenPrice(),0,0,0,Red );
else Print("OrderModify() ticket=",ordertick," failed with error code ",GetLastError());
}
else Print("OrderSend ticket=",ordertick," failed with error code ",GetLastError());

The codes are correct but it seems that when i try to execute the script it says Error code 136. I believe it has something to do with NormalizeDouble.

Can anyone help with that code and where to insert this code ?

Thank you

Keiran

Error 136: The broker has not supplied with prices or refused, for any reason (for example, no prices at the session start, unconfirmed prices, fast market).

Check the price you are executing at. You don't need to modify an order which will ultimately have no SL/TP

[EDIT] Kennyhubbard has the correct answer. Apparently there is a difference between requote and off-quote.

Ok. I will go check. Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Actually error 136 is an Off-Quotes error which is a technical error error on the broker side. It has nothing to do with your code, or the prices. Not to be confused with a re-quote.

As a test, just try doing a straight forward trade entry through the order entry console and you should see the same error.

Try restarting the platform and if that fails, you can either wait it out......try support at your broker to find out what is going on, or just try a different broker.

Hi Keiran,

Dubai is great thanks. How is Singapore.......did you go to the autotraders meetup? I would have liked to have gone but I had to work.

As a matter of interest, you can also send an ECN order like this :-

OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY, Lots, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

Just highlights what the ECN considers important. It doesn't even look at the price you want but tries to give you the best price it can.

This way of placing an order is useless as it makes your code incompatible with a Market execution broker, but it serves as a nice example between the two.

Hi Keiran,

Sorry, I have no opinion on them. I have never looked at them as I am pretty happy with the brokers I currently use.
