Technical Error
Technical Error
16 May 2019, 04:33
I have a strange issue. While Backtesting using FxPro on 12/10/2018, it is returning a Technical Error when I modify the positions. When the BOt opens a second buy or sell position the OnOpen event modifies the TP of all buy or sell position. If i use the ModifyPosition method directly, it gives me a technical error. If i use my modified Modify trade procedure it does not. But I don't understand what is causeing the technical error or why their would be a difference.
OnOpen code:
if (opened.Position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy && BuyCount > 1)
{
foreach (var position in Positions)
{
if (position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy)
ModifyPosition(position, null, RelPrice(10, opened.Position.TradeType));
//ModifyTrade("Martingale Buy TP Set: "+position.Label, position, null, RelPrice(10, opened.Position.TradeType));
}
}
if (opened.Position.TradeType == TradeType.Sell && SellCount > 1)
{
foreach (var position in Positions)
{
if (position.TradeType == TradeType.Sell) ModifyTrade("Martingale Sell TP Set: "+position.Label, position, null, RelPrice(9.5, opened.Position.TradeType));
}
}
double RelPrice(double _takeprofitpips, TradeType _tradetype)
{
return Math.Round(_tradetype == TradeType.Buy ? AvgPrice(TradeType.Buy) + _takeprofitpips * Symbol.PipSize : AvgPrice(TradeType.Sell) - _takeprofitpips * Symbol.PipSize, 5);
}
protected override void OnError(Error error)
{
switch (error.Code)
{
case ErrorCode.BadVolume:
_thread = new Thread(() => {MessageBox.Show("ErrorCode: " +error.Code.ToString(), Account.BrokerName+" - "+this.ToString(), MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop);});
_thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
_thread.Start();
Log(paramIntLogEnable, paramExtLogEnable,"ErrorCode: Bad volume for order open, robot is stopped.");
RobotStopped = true;
break;
case ErrorCode.EntityNotFound:
//_thread = new Thread(() => {MessageBox.Show("ErrorCode: " +error.Code.ToString(), Account.BrokerName+" - "+this.ToString(), MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop );});
//_thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
//_thread.Start();
Log(paramIntLogEnable, paramExtLogEnable,"ErrorCode: Entity Not Found.");
//RobotStopped = true;
break;
case ErrorCode.TechnicalError:
_thread = new Thread(() => {MessageBox.Show("ErrorCode: " +error.Code.ToString(), Account.BrokerName+" - "+this.ToString(), MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop );});
_thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
_thread.Start();
Log(paramIntLogEnable, paramExtLogEnable,"ErrorCode: Technical Error.");
//RobotStopped = true;
break;
case ErrorCode.NoMoney:
MessageBox.Show("ErrorCode: " +error.Code.ToString(), Account.BrokerName+" - "+this.ToString(), MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop );
Log(paramIntLogEnable, paramExtLogEnable,"ErrorCode: No money for order open, robot is stopped.");
RobotStopped = true;
break;
case ErrorCode.Disconnected:
MessageBox.Show("ErrorCode: " +error.Code.ToString(), Account.BrokerName+" - "+this.ToString(), MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop );
Log(paramIntLogEnable, paramExtLogEnable,"ErrorCode: Disconnected.");
break;
case ErrorCode.MarketClosed:
MessageBox.Show("ErrorCode: " +error.Code.ToString(), Account.BrokerName+" - "+this.ToString(), MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop );
Log(paramIntLogEnable, paramExtLogEnable,"ErrorCode: The market is closed.");
break;
}
}
Is there anyway to get more error information to understand what is causing the technical error??

Well, I figured out the issue. If you try to modify a position and give it the same values it already has for Tp and SL, it will return a technical error.
I guess it would be nice to know if there are any more robust error messages that can be returned from the OnError event or TradeResult objects.

I forgot to include my procedure that modifies the position. For some reason, if I use it, it does not raise the technical error. But it should because its using the same method.
bool ModifyTrade(string descrip, Position position, double? sl = null, double? tp = null, bool _hasTrail=false) { if (position.StopLoss != sl || position.TakeProfit != tp) { Log(paramIntLogEnable, paramExtLogEnable,descrip); if (ModifyPosition(position, sl, tp, _hasTrail).IsSuccessful) return true; else Log(paramIntLogEnable, paramExtLogEnable,"Modify Failed: {0}", LastResult.Error); } return false; }@alexk
