DAX30 Pending Order

[yoloyacht]

Not sure if this is a bug, but when running the same EA for other pairs, it can open pending orders.
However, for DAX30, it doesn't. The way I tested it to make sure is that I have a text block printing before the order, and one after.

For DAX30, the text also doesn't show up, which means the pending order isn't working. Any thoughts? Maybe a bug?

@yoloyacht
Are you trying to place a pending order while the market is closed ?

@yoloyacht Maybe you have to setup the pip size?

[yoloyacht]

@seb-0 nope. I can open it manually

@seb-0 Still didn't work

If it doesn't work only with this instrument, check the minimal volume allowed in specifications, if it is more than 0.1 that should be the reason.

@yoloyacht @seb-0 , I don't want to disturb your conversation, have you setup the pip size rules? You have to do this if you trade with indices

@ambrogio
Didn't know about that -.-

@seb-0 In currency pairs the pip is the fourth digit after the comma, (the second digit for pairs with the Yen), in the DAX30 it is the first after the comma. If you do not set this value the EA will work well in currency pairs (Fxdreema builder is already fine for that) but will work improperly on indices, metals, commodities ecc.
Simply in the window "pip size rules" write exactly the name of the good (uppercase, lowercase, spaces etc.) followed by the right number. In this case DAX30 = 0.1 and save. (See my screenshot above)
So you can try if the EA goes well or not.
Example 50 pips on the EURUSD chart is nothing on DAX30 if you don't do this.

It would have been simpler to take as pip, the first digit of the price divided by 10.000 ^^

@seb-0 Please, can you show an example? I don't get it.

Well i just noticed that the proportion of one pip can be different from one instrument to another. On currencies the pip unit, is the unit of the 5fth digit, no matter if the price is 1 or 100, because it is proportionate to it. Also on some stock assets the pip unit is the unit of the 5fth digit (like Apple). So i thought we just had to divide the price by 10.000 to get the pip unit ( USDJPY = 105,555 => 105,555/10.000 = 0,0105555 ) then the pip unit is the unit of the first digit, here 0.01. But the pip unit of others like Blackberry is third digit so.. That's weird thinking tho haha

@seb-0 So you will agree with me that it is better to set the pip size rules, this way the same project can work on each tool, right? Also I wanted to point out that the pip unit on EURUSD for example is the 4th digit and not the 5th (this is the point or pipette = pip/10)

For some reason pending still isn't working, but buy/sell now blocks are. Any ideas?

@yoloyacht please, can you share the project?
