From the research I've done, the stop level seems to prevent my pending order from being placed. I want to solve this by checking every X minutes if the pending order will go through till it has successfully been placed. How can I do this? I am placing my pending order in the following way:
double myEntryPrice=NormalizeDouble(Bid+(stopLevel*Point)+(bottom - 3*Point),Digits);
int ticketSell = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLLIMIT,lotSize, myEntryPrice,0, stopLoss,dTakeProfit,"SellOrder",magicnumber,0,Red);
#include <Arrays\ArrayObj.mqh>
class CPendingOrder : public CObject
{
public:
int m_cmd;
double m_lot;
double m_osl;
double m_otp;
CPendingOrder(const int cmd,const double lot,const double osl,const double otp):
m_cmd(cmd),m_lot(lot),m_osl(osl),m_otp(otp){}
~CPendingOrder(){}
};
CArrayObj *listOfPendingOrders;
datetime lastPendingAttempt=0;
int OnInit()
{
lastPendingAttempt=TimeCurrent();
listOfPendingOrders=new CArrayObj();
//---
return (INIT_SUCCEDED);
}
void OnDeinit(const int reason){delete(listOfPendingOrders);}
void OnTick()
{
checkPendingList();
//other operations
//adding a limit order to the list when you need to do that
int cmd=OP_SELLLIMIT;
double lot=0.1, osl=0, otp=0;
CPendingOrder *newOrder=new CPendingOrder(cmd,lot,osl,otp);
listOfPendingOrders.Add(newOrder);
}
void checkPendingList()
{
if(iTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_M1,0)<=lastPendingAttempt)return;
lastPendingAttempt=iTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_M1,0);
double myEntryPrice=Bid;//set your formulae if needed here
for(int i=listOfPendingOrders.Total()-1;i>=0;i--)
{
CPendingOrder *order=listOfPendingOrders.At(i);
int ticket=OrderSend(_Symbol,order.m_cmd,order.m_lot,myEntryPrice,0,order.m_osl,order.m_otp,NULL,magicNumber,0);
if(ticket>0)
listOfPendingOrders.Delete(i);
}
}
