Hi,

A little help here! please!

My ea works fine on currencies but have problem with WTI.
It just repeat error 131 in backtesting with no obvious reasons!


void DoOpenOrders(int orderType,double price)
{
//-------------
if(!AllowEAOpenOrders) return(0);
if(GetOrdersTotal(orderType)>0) return(0);
if(!IsTradeAllowed()) return(0);
//int SLpoint=k_SL*ATR;
double lots=GetLots();
string orderComment=DoubleToStr(lots,GetL());//用于平半仓 =GetLots()
//if(orderType==OP_BUY) price=Ask;
//else if(orderType==OP_SELL) price=Bid;
//---------
int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),orderType,lots,NormalizeDouble(price,Digits),Slippage,0,0,"",MagicNum,0,Gold);

if(ticket>0)
{
Print("EA Open Order Succeed."+Symbol()+" M"+Period());
}
else Print("Error opening order Err: ",GetLastError());
}

Be sure all the lots inputs fit the standard format allowed by your broker.

Generally it is different than forex pairs.

could someone take a look into this matter, I'm really have no clue on it!

int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),orderType ,lots,NormalizeDouble(price,Digits) ,Slippage,0,0,"",MagicNum,0,Gold);

WTI allow 0.0X lot, it can not be the size problem.....

Some brokers, with oil etc only allow lot sizes as multiples of eg. 0.25
Check whether this is the case or not
