Requote error but still open trade ?

is it possible to get a requote error (138) yet it still opens the trade ?

I have this code:
Inserted Code
if (Ticket > 0) 
{
   Print("Success");
}
else if (GetLastError())
   return;
Fore some reason, the success message is not being printed in certain tests - yet it seems like the trade is opened anyway - does this just mean it requotes and opens anyway ?

Does this also mean that the condition "if (Ticket > 0) " meaning success is not always correct ?

Thx

Strictly speaking 0 (zero) is an allowed ticket nr. (I doubt it's the problem however)

Better use:

if(Ticket != -1) {
// ok
}
else {
bla bla...

theres a minor error in your code the second conditions should read else with out the if. I assume your using ticket as a vriable to hold the return from the Ordersend() function. Your if ticket > 0 is correct as zero indicates no order condition. any number greater then zero is a ticket number and -1 is returned on error. You can get the requote message and still get filled if your slipperage setting was within the range of the requote.

Some companies like banks just fill your order if its at market they will fill it at the current market. Much like when your dealing in the equity and futures markets.

You should use the function RefreshRates() just before you try to place any orders that should asure you of the most current rate.
