Be sure the name of the symbol is the same ... I mean if the new broker as a suffix/prefix, you must add it exactly in the OrderSend() function ...

thank you
but as I suggested , when I write OrderSend("USDJPY",OP_BUY... on usdjpy's chart its good,
that means that there is no suffix/prefix, isnt it?!

If you are using Bid or Ask in your code they will relate to the chart that the EA is attached to and will not be correct for the symbol that you are trying to place a trade.

thank you,
I think you'r right, I changed the Bid with a numeric price (op_buystop) and it works.

I just wonder why in my previuse broker it works with BID?

here is a section of the code that works fine with Bid:

extern string aa ="AUDUSD.lmx";
extern string bb ="NZDUSD.lmx";
extern string cc ="AUDNZD.lmx";

void mab()
{
int ticketau,ticketnu,ticketan;
while (ticketau<=0){ticketau=OrderSend(aa ,OP_BUY,laaa,Ask,3,0,0,"a",magic);Sleep(2000);}
while (ticketnu<=0){ticketnu=OrderSend(bb ,OP_SELL,lbbb,Bid,3,0,0,"a",magic);Sleep(2000);}
while (ticketan<=0){ticketan=OrderSend(cc ,OP_SELL,lccc,Bid,3,0,0,"a",magic);Sleep(2000);}
sug=2;
}

anyway, what can I use instead the BID for market order??
