"OLD TICK" error message on JOURNAL

Hello,

I have the same problem. When this error occured, my EA doesn't work, althogh after that error my EA continues to work fine.

Is there somthing I can do, so my EA will still work while this error occured? Is there some "Error Code" for that error?

I resolved this error in my EA by forcing the desired action again and again until it is done. For example:

instead of just closing an order like this:

Ans=OrderClose(ticket,Lot,Ask,2);// Close order

I used a while cycle like this:

Ans=false;
while (Ans==false)
{
RefreshRates();
Ans=OrderClose(ticket,Lot,Ask,2);// Close order

}

This way if an "Old tick" error occur when closing an order EA will atempt to close the order again and again until it will close.

The drawback is that this trick cannot be used in backtesting, otherwise Your EA may end up in an infinity loop while analyzing history charts. It sometimes is so that EA is unable to close orders whie backtesting.

Similarly for opening orders You use a while cycle like this:

ticket=-1;
while (ticket<0)
{
RefreshRates();
ticket= OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, New_Lots, Ask, 5, Ask-DefSL*Point, Ask+DefTP*Point, koments, 0, 0, DeepPink);
}

In this case EA will keep on attempts to open a position until it succeeds.
