EA Keep Disturb Other Pair Order

Mohammad Najib Daud 2015.10.24 02:28

Hi,

I have an EA attached to several pair. The problem is it always disturb each other (closing pending order).

The code for closing is custom function as below;

void CloseLimit() {
   bool CloseOrder;
   int CloseError;
   bool DeleteOrder;
   int DeleteError;
   
   for (int i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
      if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES) == TRUE) {
      if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber && OrderCloseTime() == 0) {  // why always disturb all other symbol??
            if (IsTradeTime(HourStart1, HourStop1) || IsTradeTime(HourStart2, HourStop2) || IsTradeTime(HourStart3, HourStop3) || IsTradeTime(HourStart4, HourStop4)) {
               while (!IsTradeAllowed()) Sleep(100);
               if (OrderType() == OP_BUY && (TimeCurrent() - OrderOpenTime() >= LimitTime)) {
                  CloseOrder = OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Bid, slp_X(), Blue);
                  if (WriteLog == TRUE) Print ("Order Close On LimitTime",";"," OrderTicket"," #",OrderTicket()," Time : ",Hour(),":",Minute(),":",Seconds());
                     if (!CloseOrder) {
                        CloseError = GetLastError();
                        if(WriteLog == TRUE) {
                           Print("Close: OrderClose Error = ", ErrorDescription(CloseError));
                        }
                        if (CloseError == 2 || CloseError == 128 || CloseError == 139) {
                           Alert("Error Execution ", ErrorDescription(CloseError),"!!!"); 
                           PlaySound("alert.wav");
                           CriticalError = TRUE;
                           return;
                        }
                        if (CloseError == 4 || CloseError == 129) Sleep(1000); 
                        if (CloseError == 133) Sleep(3000); 
                     } 
               }
               if (OrderType() == OP_SELL && (TimeCurrent() - OrderOpenTime() >= LimitTime)) {
                  CloseOrder = OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Ask, slp_X(), Red);
                  if (WriteLog == TRUE) Print ("Order Close On LimitTime",";"," OrderTicket"," #",OrderTicket()," Time : ",Hour(),":",Minute(),":",Seconds());
                     if (!CloseOrder) {
                        CloseError = GetLastError();
                        if(WriteLog == TRUE) {
                           Print("Close: OrderClose Error = ", ErrorDescription(CloseError));
                        }
                        if (CloseError == 2 || CloseError == 128 || CloseError == 139) {
                           Alert("Error Execution ", ErrorDescription(CloseError),"!!!"); 
                           PlaySound("alert.wav");
                           CriticalError = TRUE;
                           return;
                        }
                        if (CloseError == 4 || CloseError == 129) Sleep(1000); 
                        if (CloseError == 133) Sleep(3000); 
                     } 
               }
               if ((OrderType() == OP_SELLSTOP || OrderType() == OP_BUYSTOP )&& (CountBuy > 0 || CountSell > 0)) { // why always disturb all other symbol??
                  DeleteOrder = OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
                  if (WriteLog == TRUE) Print ("Pending Order Closed",";"," OrderTicket"," #",OrderTicket());
                     if (!DeleteOrder) {
                        DeleteError = GetLastError();
                        if(WriteLog == TRUE) {
                           Print("Delete: OrderDelete Error = ", ErrorDescription(DeleteError));
                        }
                        if (DeleteError == 2 || DeleteError == 128 || DeleteError == 139) {
                           Alert("Error Execution ", ErrorDescription(DeleteError),"!!!"); 
                           PlaySound("alert.wav");
                           CriticalError = TRUE;
                           return;
                        }
                        if (DeleteError == 4 || DeleteError == 129) Sleep(1000); 
                        if (DeleteError == 133) Sleep(3000); 
                     } 
               }

            }
         else if ((!IsTradeTime(HourStart1, HourStop1) || !IsTradeTime(HourStart2, HourStop2) || !IsTradeTime(HourStart3, HourStop3) || !IsTradeTime(HourStart4, HourStop4))) { 
         CloseAllNow();
         }
      }
   }
  }
}

It disturb only on pending order BUY STOP and SELL STOP. The EA have the same magic number but the code has include filter with current symbol chart but still close other EA order. I dont know what to do.

peter.MT4Web 2015.10.24 05:05 #1

Do you also check Symbol and MagicNumber in

CloseAllNow();

Mohammad Najib Daud 2015.10.24 05:08 #2

Yes, it also check.

void CloseAllNow() {
   for (int i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
      if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES) == TRUE) {
      if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber && OrderCloseTime() == 0) {
      while (!IsTradeAllowed()) Sleep(100);
         if (OrderType() == OP_BUY) { 
         if (OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Bid, slp_X(), Blue) == TRUE) {
         if (WriteLog == TRUE) Print ("CloseAllNow Activated",";"," OrderTicket"," #",OrderTicket());
         }
         }
         if (OrderType() == OP_SELL) {
         if (OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Ask, slp_X(), Red) == TRUE) {
         if (WriteLog == TRUE) Print ("CloseAllNow Activated",";"," OrderTicket"," #",OrderTicket());
         }
         }
         if (OrderType() == OP_BUYSTOP) { 
         if (OrderDelete(OrderTicket()) == TRUE) {
         if (WriteLog == TRUE) Print ("CloseAllNow Activated",";"," OrderTicket"," #",OrderTicket());
         }
         }
         if (OrderType() == OP_SELLSTOP) {
         if (OrderDelete(OrderTicket()) == TRUE) {
         if (WriteLog == TRUE) Print ("CloseAllNow Activated",";"," OrderTicket"," #",OrderTicket());
         }
         }
      }
   }
  }
}

Mohammad Najib Daud 2015.10.24 09:55 #4

I have yet edit and test to print MagicNumber since today market is closed. But this is the example from the expert log & journal:

I have arranged it by OrderTicket so that easy to track the flow.

EA works on one How to close all Expert Advisor sometimes not

Carl Schreiber 2015.10.24 10:27 #5

MetaFX seems to be a MultiAccount Manager - may be that is the problem?

And if you have the same MagicNumbers for different currencies...?

What you show is only that MetaFX applied to a GBPUSD-M30 chart deletes an EURUSD pending order.

Help guys, I'm out. import c# dll Questions from Beginners MQL5

najibdaud:

I have yet edit and test to print MagicNumber since today market is closed. But this is the example from the expert log & journal:

The CloseAllNow() function looks fine, and the problems reported in this log seem only to be from the CloseLimit() function originally posted, not from CloseAllNow().

What is the IsTradeTime() function? It seems unlikely from context, but if this function has any rules which involve looking at existing open trades, and thus doing an OrderSelect(), that will affect the order which has previously been selected in the loop in CloseLimit().

For example, the following would cause a problem...

bool IsTradeTime(int Hour1, int Hour2)
{
  // Check the time
  if (TimeHour(TimeCurrent()) < Hour1) return false;
  if (TimeHour(TimeCurrent()) > Hour2) return false;

  // And also take this opportunity to block if there are existing trades...
  // Causes a problem if the calling function expects the selected order not to be changed by this function
  for (int i = 0; i < OrdersTotal(); i++) {
    if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS)) {
       etc...
    }
  }
}

Mohammad Najib Daud 2015.10.25 05:27 #7

gooly,

It's not a MAM, its a standalone MT4 and EA with attached to multiple pair. The magicnumber is same to all pair.

jjc,

Yes the problem come from code with the first one I posted. The IsTradeTime is custom function for checking trading time. There is no loop in the function.

However there are some function that using OrderSelect for example for order count. Is it a problem if there multiple OrderSelect ? Or is it an MT4 itself have a bug?

It is easy for testing using one pair but not for multiple pair since strategy tester only allowed for one pair.

The point isn't the loop. The point is whether, after doing each OrderSelect() in CloseLimit(), you are calling another function which does another OrderSelect() and changes the selected order.

The selection by OrderSelect() is not private to the function in which you do OrderSelect(). If affects the whole of the EA. Giving you another example of the same thing, the following will not work as intended:

void ExampleFunction()
{
  int myCloseTicket = 12345678;
  ...
  if (OrderSelect(myCloseTicket, SELECT_BY_TICKET)) {
    if (ExampleFunctionWhichChangesOrderSelect()) {

       // Closes 98765432, not 12345678...
       OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Bid, OrderClosePrice());
    }
  }
}


bool ExampleFunctionWhichChangesOrderSelect()
{
  int testTicket = 98765432;
  if (OrderSelect(testTicket, SELECT_BY_TICKET)) {
     // Some test on this other ticket. Doesn't matter what. The point is that 
     // this function does an OrderSelect(), and the selected order inside the
     // parent function is no longer what it is expected to be
     return (OrderProfit() > 0);
  } else {
     return false;
  }
}

I get it. Let me check for redundant looping.

Mohammad Najib Daud 2015.10.29 21:20 #10

I have eliminate redundant looping but still it close other pair which is like they don't even checking the symbol.
