Maji, I appreciate the response. I spent about an hour going through code looking for errors b4 suspecting it was FXDD. Yeah, a real bone-headed restriction - reason alone to avoid signing up with them.

Hi Maji, did you try to rise this issue to them ? I wonder why are they restric this feature.

Hi
I opened account with FXDD yesterday (but, haven't sent copy of agreement or fund the account yet) and came to your thread.
I have been running EA on Demo sometime now and didn't have any error that you and a few others mentioned.
Would you mind explained to me what the problem is? and Do you have any simple resolution for this problem like me who DOESN'T KNOW how to change the code?
Only reason I am opening MT4 broker is to run EA. I already have 2 other brokers that I am using for manual trading.
I would appreciate your comment if you can.
Thanks,

If you submit a pending order, like a buy stop, you have an extra field you can set that will automatically cancel the order after a certain period of time, like 24 hours. It is useful, but not a major limitation. A when checking the open orders, a subroutine can look at the open time, add 24 hours, and delete the order if the current time is higher.

Thank you for the reply.
However, I don't see this extra field that you are referring to. Are you talking about i.e. "Good till Canc"? Please see attached. That field is greyed out on my entry screen.
If this is not the area that you are talking about, could you please explain again?

For brokers besides FXDD, the "expiry" field is not greyed out. This automatic expiration isn't supported by FXDD. In an EA, the field is OrderExpiration() to retrieve the set expiration time. To set the value, it is available as a parameter on OrderSend(). FXDD has disabled all of these.

A work around is to write an EA that doesn't check magic numbers or currencies, and automatically closes pending orders (OrderType is 2, 3, 4, or 5 ) by checking OrderOpenTime()+(24*3600)

Hi all,

Soon we can see a platform better than metatrader which cost much less implementation cost to brokerage side as well.

The new platform expected to consist better charting interface , more candle sticks type , Auto code generation wizards , better backtester etc. If any broker is interested contact me at :

amarfx@gmail.com

and new platform cost just 20 to 30k $ depends on customisation needed , And it cost less than MQ cost i assume MT server cost 70 to 100k $

But what would the client side cost? How open is the API?

Just wondering if someone can post the Brokers here that support the standard micro lots 0.01. I'm with SBFX and their Demo does micro but not live. Looking for Live micro lot broker, reliable and honest.

Thanks
