I have been attempting to place a trade, any trade, in my Demo Account, using an Expert Advisor. When the EA issues a Buy or Sell order, I get error code 130 or 131. Yes, I have the AutoTrading button enabled on the chart, and "Live Trading" is checked. Yes, I am trading EURUSD.FX. And yes, I can place a manual trade, either Buy or Sell. For your information, I am using Linux, with Wine that emulates Windows. I have not experienced any other issues, and as I said, I can issue manual Buy and Sell orders. So I don't think Wine is getting in the way. I think it's something with my Buy and Sell order within the EA. Maybe the wrong lot size, or some other parameter. I have tried changing the lot size, but it makes no difference. I am posting here the code from my EA, and the code for the function, which gets called from the EA. I am also posting a screen print, showing the actual error code. I realize that if I get this code to work, I will be submitting Buy or Sell orders extremely rapidly, until I run out of margin. I am on a Demo Account, so I'm not worried about that right now. I'll address that issue when I can actually get some orders submitted. So, what gives? What am I doing wrong? Thanks. bool CheckOpenOrders(){ // We need to scan all the open and pending orders to see if there are any. // OrdersTotal returns the total number of market and pending orders. // What we do is scan all orders and check if they are of the same symbol as the one where the EA is running. for( int i = 0 ; i < OrdersTotal() ; i++ ) { // We select the order of index i selecting by position and from the pool of market/pending trades. OrderSelect( i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES ); // If the pair of the order is equal to the pair where the EA is running. if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol()) return(true); } // If the loop finishes it mean there were no open orders for that pair. return(false); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Alternator01.mq4 | //| Len Cheatham | //| https://www.mql4.com | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Len Cheatham" #property link "https://www.mql4.com" #property version "1.00" #property strict #include <C:/Program Files (x86)/IG MetaTrader 4 Terminal/MQL4/Include/Strings/CustomFunctions01.mqh> //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert initialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int OnInit() { //--- //--- return(INIT_SUCCEEDED); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert deinitialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnDeinit(const int reason) { //--- } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert tick function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnTick() { //--- Alert("Are there open orders for this currency?
