ok latest version taking trades

rokati · Post by **rokati** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 2:01 pm

first posting, so be gentle.
'I've updated to hgi latest version, and updated to latest version of hgb, after updates I'm getting error message 4109 and no pending trades showing in terminal window and no trades being taken, I'm using ootb settings.
Alert window says "order send failed with error (4109) :trade is not allowed in expert properties".
I've looked through the experts properties several times and can't see anything untowards, although my understanding of all the various settings is very limited.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Quintin

Do you see a smiley face on the charts?
If not, the tab 'common' should have the option 'live trading' checked.

Gertje,
I think I know what I had done wrong I loaded the indi and the EA onto my first chart, then used the script to copy to all charts, which resulted in each individual chart having a copy of the EA on it, not getting the 4109 error now. I'm getting pending trades now, but also getting another error, "AUDCAD Holy Graily Bob OP_BUYSTOP order send failed with error(130): invalid stops" , again ootb settings on indi and EA ?
Many thanks again for your help.
Quintin

The EA wants to change the SL of an open order that has already gone beyond that point.
Look at the ticketnumber of the error, and look for the order.

Hi Gertjan,

there won't be any ticket number. Sometimes I have the same error message. These are orders which never were sent just because of the error.

Cheers,
Stefan

Can others confirm that, like myself, they're still getting the 130 error?

Pending orders are still being sent though.

I have a few questions that have been eating at me since I first read the user guide. I've read over the particular section many times and I still don't get it.

Regarding range trades: The introduction of the 60 MA leads me to believe that it's purpose it to confirm we are in a full blown trend or, we are in a range; correct? The EA won't (or shouldn't) take a trend trade when we are between the MA's, as this is when we range trade.

In the user guide, Bob shows two chart examples of range trades. The first clearly shows range trades only being taken when price was between the MA's. The second example shows range trades being taken when the MA's were in the trend position, along with others that were in the range. So, what's the deal? In my mind, we should only take range trades when price is between the MA's. Now, I'm sure as heck not gonna tell Bob how to trade (like I could, lol) or Steve how to write an EA (OMG could you imagine?) But what's the point of the 60MA if we are not going to respect it in it's entirety?

A little comparing of the HGB indi and the 240 buy/sell indi shows what we now call range trades, are what we used to call CT trades. That makes perfect sense to trade those; if we are indeed in a range. Yet my HGB EA was taking lots of range trades when we are clearly in trend country. WTF? I had so many effed up range trades (that in my mind, should never have been taken) that I just turned them off. However, I think that properly executed range trades would have been a Godsend in the last 24 hours or so; but alas, mine were off. I will note, that I haven't kept up with all the updates to the EA (they were coming in pretty fast- when does Steve sleep?) and if this is/was indeed an issue, it may have been dealt with already.

Has anyone else had this come up for them? Or, has this been addressed and I missed it? Am I high and don't realize it?
