I can't seem to get †ђξ martingale feature working, №† even †ђξ trend detectors available in †ђξ bot. Has anyone tried it and it works?

Have been running the latest EA on demo the last few days and I'm getting the following errors:

20:35:08 Fmfx auto-trading EA EURUSD,M15: modify #12622655 buy 0.01 EURUSD at 1.31430 sl: 1.31530 tp: 1.32030 ok
20:35:08 stdlib EURUSD,M15: loaded successfully

20:35:08 Fmfx auto-trading EA EURUSD,M15: Alert: 12622655 stop loss modification failed with error(1): no error
20:35:08 Fmfx auto-trading EA EURUSD,M15: 12622655 stop loss modification failed with error(1): no error


The first two messages (in blue) show a successful first modify but the last two msgs (in red) occur repeatedly after until the pair trade is closed out.

These have occured on GBPAUD, NZDUSD & EURUSD and presumably would occur on other pairs if traded.

I've run this in parallel across two accounts (AxiTrader and Bully Pepperstone - both in AU) with the same results.

The MQL4 Documentation states that "If unchanged values are passed as the function parameters, the error 1 (ERR_NO_RESULT) will be generated" which suggests the EA is trying to set the SL and/or TP to a value that it already is.

Can anyone shed any light on this as the coding is beyond me (I'm new to EA's).

thanks

I am also getting †ђξ same error message on alpari nz. I don't know what could ßε̲̣ causing it.

Looking at the code, I see a conditional in the jumping stop sell code that is missing from the buy code.

Was the trade in question a buy or a sell?

It was a BUY but this error also occurs on a SELL trade. See GBPAUD below which shows TWO successful modifies after the SELL and then all subsequent modifies fail.

Ah well. The fault may be in the code. It may be in Empty4.

Either way, I am not going to beat myself up over it. If the actual stop loss managed by the actual bot is working ok, then I do not care too much about what is in the journal/experts tab. I never look at them.

I have not experienced the problem. It is quite hard to solve a problem that has not yet occurred. If it occurs on my demo, then I shall solve it. If not, I shall ignore it. I suggest you do the same.

Hmm, I hadn't considered it might be still working despite the error

A few hours ago there was a big move by AUD pairs resulting from the RBA decision to not move interest rates.

Fmfx EA opened a buy trade on the GBPAUD pair:

but it didn't open trades for the AUDUSD or the EURAUD pairs. I've looked and can't see any obvious pair trades limits in the script - any ideas why it missed these?

[Edit]

The same thing happened with EURUSD as well. Got a Sidus UP arrow but no trade entered.

I had the same issue; everything lined up for a trade across a number of AUD pairs, but no trade taken. My journal shows alot of activity at the time of the big price move, with a very long list of "old tick" errors returned. Am I right in assuming that those errors indicate that the trades failed because of slippage/requotes in a fast moving market?
