or -1 if it fails. To get additional error information, one has to call the GetLastError() function. Note At opening of a market order (OP_SELL or OP_BUY), only the latest prices of Bid (for selling) or Ask (for buying) can be used as open price. If operation is performed with a security differing from the current one, the MarketInfo() function must be used with MODE_BID or MODE_ASK parameter for the latest quotes for this security to be obtained. Calculated or unnormalized price cannot be applied. If there has not been the requested open price in the price thread or it has not been normalized according to the amount of digits after decimal point, the error 129 (ERR_INVALID_PRICE) will be generated. If the requested open price is fully out of date, the error 138 (ERR_REQUOTE) will be generated independently on the slippage parameter. If the requested price is out of date, but present in the thread, the order will be opened at the current price and only if the current price lies w
strategies on how to beat every algorithmic trader's worst nightmare - Error 130 Where does this error come from? What does it mean for your Expert Advisor? How can you find the part of your code that is causing the error? ordersend error 138 We tackle all this and more… To start off, a formal definition from our friend, MQL4 mql4 error codes Documentation: That's right! That is all you get from MetaQuotes. And the rest… Go figure! Ordersend Error 130 is briefly mentioned in other sections
Mql4 Ordermodify Error 130
of the documentation. However, there is no thorough guide to what "Invalid Stops" actually means and how to deal with this, perhaps, most common problem in Forex programming. But not a worry! That's why I have written this article. Let's https://docs.mql4.com/trading/ordersend get through this together! The silent killer So… you launched your expert advisor and… nothing happens. No BUY orders, no SELL orders, no pending orders, not even error messages in the logs…. Just silence. You decide to wait a few hours / days / weeks, and nothing really changes - the charts go up and down, but you don't see any profit. This can go on forever… The real reason is simple - you're actually getting ERR_INVALID_STOPS (which is the correct https://www.forexboat.com/ordersend-error-130/ technical term for the issue), but you can't see it. That's because 130 is a silent killer. A cold-blooded murderer of your brain and inner calm 🙂 There is no way to pick up this error through expert advisor logs or even terminal logs. The only way to catch it is by adding the right failsafe mechanisms into your code. Here's an example you can adapt to your code: int ticket; ticket = OrderSend("EURUSD", OP_BUY, 1.0, Ask, 10, StopLossLevel, TakeProfitLevel, "My 1st Order!"); if(ticket < 0) { Alert("OrderSend Error: ", GetLastError()); } else { Alert("Order Sent Successfully, Ticket # is: " + string(ticket)); } 1234567891011 int ticket; ticket = OrderSend("EURUSD", OP_BUY, 1.0, Ask, 10, StopLossLevel, TakeProfitLevel, "My 1st Order!"); if(ticket < 0) {Alert("OrderSend Error: ", GetLastError()); } else {Alert("Order Sent Successfully, Ticket # is: " + string(ticket)); } What we are doing here is taking the ticket number and that OrderSend() returns and checking if it is less than zero. If yes, then that is a signal from MetaTrader 4 telling us that there was a problem with the request. The error code is then printed out onto the screen using Alert() and the built-in GetLastError() function. This code will give a pop-up window like in the image up at the top of this article. Note: you can use Print() instead of Alert() to redirect the message straight to the EA's log instead of displaying it on the screen.

"OrderSend error 131" and "Error Opening Order:131:Invalid Trade Volume" Started by armnic1, Nov 25 2012 07:08 AM Please log in to reply 3 replies to this topic #1 http://www.strategyquant.com/forum/topic/388-ordersend-error-131-and-error-opening-order131invalid-trade-volume/ armnic1 armnic1 Newbie Members 7 posts Posted 25 November 2012 - 07:08 AM I'm backtesting the EA and it can place a few trades at the beginning without any problems and then suddenly it gets a little bit slow, it continues advancing but not showing visible trading activity but checking the Results tab on MT4 it is observed that a large/continuous number of trades were executed by the time the strategy tester slowed down; the Journal tab shows the messages error 1 "Order Send error 131" and the "Error Opening Order:131:Invalid Trade Volume". Any clue/clues regarding this behavior would be much appreciated? Back to top Report #2 Mark Fric Mark Fric Administrator Administrators 2,891 posts Posted 01 December 2012 - 12:53 PM Hello,we solved this, I'll just post the reasons here too for the others.Error Opening Order:131:Invalid Trade Volume this error means that the EA wants to open order with incorrect lots size. It could be that it tries to open microlots order ordermodify error 1 when your broker supports only minilots, not microlots.In this case it was caused by Money Management - the EA was losing money quite quickly, money management decreased lots size as there was less and less money on the account, and at some point the lots size computed by MM was smaller than the smallest allowed lots size by broker, so it caused this error.

Back to top Report #4 Mark Fric Mark Fric Administrator Administrators 2,891 posts Posted 02 September 2013 - 07:52 AM Hello, as I checked, there is a small bug - EA always expects that microlots are allowed, so if your broker doesn't use microlots and 33% is computed to be a 2 decimal value then partial closing position fails. We'll fix it in the new update, it will be released in a few days.
