DislikedDavid - Opened my demo account on MB Trading and when trying to execute an order got this message. What do I need to do? I normally trade off of MBT desktop, and as far as I can tell VO-PRO is operating normally. Have a monitor chart minimized and the monitor running indication is present on that chart.Ignored
As you can see from my first screenshot, all of the trade parameters are exactly the same - entry, TP, SL at the same levels, same return/risk $, etc, same lot size (0.10). The only difference is that price has fallen since your post, hence my trade is a sell limit instead of a sell stop.
When I click EXECUTE, the trade gets placed without any problem (see second screenshot).
The error is effectively saying that VO-Pro has sent an invalid trade parameter to MT4. The only thing I can think of is that you check the 'MT4 Trade settings' area - you can see how I've set mine in the third screenshot. Perhaps you have an invalid setting (an expiry date?) in that area.
The monitor has no bearing, in this case. All it does is pass order information from MT4 to VO-Pro, so that the latter can display the orders in its Order List window. You should be able to create a new order regardless of whether the monitor is running, or not.
All I can suggest is that you try placing similar orders over the next few days, and see if we can establish some kind of pattern, as to what works, and what doesn't.
In the meantime, I'm going to improve VO-Pro's error handling to provide more information on the error message screen, showing exactly what parameters were sent from VO-Pro to MT4.
Sorry I can be of more help.
