DislikedI do RefreshRates() before the first order and usually the first order is filled quickly so the second order follows through.
I was surprised that a re-quote would occur so quickly, I think this is broker dependent, Alpari are very keen on the entry price!
I think another RefreshRates() before the second order should fix this, I don't like Sleep() instructions when sending orders, you can end up with the second order being rejected every time.
If you know how to add the second RefreshRates() you can modify your own mq4 file!
Thanks for the...Ignored
DislikedHi geoffb65,
Here is how one coder deals with the requotes. I am not a big coder my self, but he uses a while loop with say retries=10. My contribution to the thread:
Keep up the work.

DislikedI panicked yesterday and closed my shorts at -25 per position, only later to have see it work out. Reason for my pulling out was that on 1 hour price had crossed MA and it seemed that is was gong to reverse. I also figured there would be a retrace of the big move down.
I guess I was wrong and should of stuck to that 93% win ratio of the system
Also tonight there is a bank holiday in Japan. Do we still trade tonight??Ignored
DislikedThe spread tends to get high just when the market open, there is not much you can do about requotes not unless you get your order in before then. High activity leads to wider spreads.....Ignored
DislikedHi Geoff and all,
Finally i got a trade open today on my demo account and closed with TP.
Only problem i ofund int he morning was that there was no TP/SL set on the order which was very strange. any idea why.
In the morning when i saw it was +90 PIPS and i closed it manually.
Thanks AllIgnored
DislikedI saw your earlier post and just hoped you would stick with it! lol!
I must admit, I would have been tempted to do the same as you but fortunately I was asleep at the time, which is the best way for me to trade, otherwise I end up doing the wrong thing!
We will trade tonight because the more I look at the charts the more I am convinced that it makes little difference what happens through the Asian session, the trend is taken up again by the London session.
Ok it's useful when Japan goes in the right direction but when it has gone...Ignored
DislikedI was leaning towards that once London comes that they will continue to push the price back down. But since such a big move down during the day, I thought for sure there would be a bigger retrace.
But I made a few pips back during the London session to cover some of the loss.Ignored
DislikedI use version 5a. only one trade was open and there was no TP/SL. when I woke up in the mroning i found the trade with +90 PIPS.
my settings were default.

DislikedIt sounds like maybe your computer lost connection during the trade, if that happens the magic number can't be relied on to pick up where it left off.
Alternately, this can be caused if you reload the options during a trade, the magic number can't be relied on.Ignored
DislikedHi geoffb65,
Can you tell what is the broker you use for monitoring your V4 trades, and can you share your set file for it?Ignored
