I have been surprised by this 2nd error enough times that I began hunting. I originally was hit by it when I modified HGBB for closealltrades, and one of the trades would not close (for other reasons) and HGBB threw this "2nd while..loop, the waiting time in TradeIsBusy() (30 sec) was exceeded!" at me.
Originally, I explained it as: (which is correct, and functions properly)
The 2nd line does throw a "fault' which seems to have been that TradeContext.mqh never received a clear signal that the trade context was free. It waited 30 seconds for the Empty4 server (broker), but the server context was never made free to make a trade. After 30 secs, TradeContext.mqh quit trying, and the trade never took place. That appears to be a server (broker) issue. It correctly showed you that an error had been thrown, and why.
HOWEVER, it still bothered me, and I just discovered the logic flaw in CloseOrder. I have modified my code as follows:
existing code:
} //---end while(counter > 0) loop
//
return(false);
MODIFY IT TO READ:
} //---end while(counter > 0) loop
//
//if pgm reaches here, trade has failed, and the counter = 0.
TradeIsNotBusy();
//--
return(false);
What happened was that the counter went to zero and the logic skipped the prior line which would have released the trade route, so it remained closed.
Also, refer to my May 27 post.
I hope this helps.
Cheer and good trading.
Say, you are fairly certain it's a just pullback during an overall uptrend, so you place another buy order at 0.800 and it gets filled. So, the price rises a bit, heading up to 0.900 and you decide to take some money off the table and you want to close the 0.800 trade. Wrong-O buster. If you want to close that trade you must also close the 1.000 trade at a loss.
