I have been trying to make a portfolio for trading daily time frame but when I run on demo I get a market closed error. My broker's trading is from 1min past midnight so a trade signaled at 5secs after midnight is rejected which I think is the issue. Anyone got any idea how to get round this problem?
Is there a setting somewhere in EA Studio that lets a trade be delayed by a short time and accept the market price at that time?
This is known behaviour. Unfortunately, we don't have a ready solution for it yet, but we can develop one.
Which is your broker? I may test some ideas and come up with a fix.
Thanks for the response.
Broker is IC Markets
I just checked a fix, but it doesn't work.
bool isTradeNotDisabled = true;
bool IsTradeNotDisabled()
{
bool isAllowed = SymbolInfoInteger(_Symbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE) != SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE_DISABLED;
if(!isAllowed && isTradeNotDisabled)
{
isTradeNotDisabled = false;
Print("Trade disabled detected.");
}
if(isAllowed && !isTradeNotDisabled)
{
isTradeNotDisabled = true;
Print("Trade enabled detected.");
}
return isAllowed;
}If you know how to test reliably if the market is closed/open please help.
I'll try tonight in a more naive way.
if(lastError == ERR_TRADE_DISABLED)
{
Print("Market is closed. Retry after 60 sec.");
barTime = Time(0) + 60;
break;
}If a trade gives LastError of "Market is closed" the expert will retry the operation in 60 seconds.
I put this code in both entry and exit.
We will know if it works in 03:45 hours.
Trade safe!
Unfortunately, this doesn't work also.
I'll try to find what is going on on Monday evening.
