Dear Trader,

Could you please tell us if you were using async methods?

Hi,

As Mentioned in the first post, this is the API using

ModifyPendingOrder(order, sellOrderTargetPrice, 50, TakeProfit, Server.Time.AddSeconds(Threshold * SecondsTimeout));

I suppose it's synchronous vs ModifyPendingOrderAsync which seems to be async.

Dear Trader,

Your cBot was trying to modify an order at the moment when it was triggered at the Server side. Will will consider providing a more informative error instead of "UNKNOWN_ERROR".

How to make ModifyPendingOrder works properly?

Hello Dear,

Is this relevant to explain why the API seems not working?

04/06/2015 11:00:04.895 | PendingOrder ID: 50814231 + target price: 2.0784 + trade type: Buy + Ask: 2.0785 + Bid: 2.0731 + Expiration time: 04/06/2015 11:00:16

04/06/2015 11:00:04.973 | Modifying pending order OID50814231 (Volume: 100k, Price: 2.0795, SL: 50, TP: 150, ExpireTime: 04/06/2015 11:00)

The first line is due to my own desire to what behind the scene.

The latter is by the robot is started ModifyPendingOrder.

When logging data before calling the API ModifyPendingOrder, you can find the right expiration time with the whole pattern 

hh:mi:ss

But, the dump of the robot give me .ExpireTime: 04/06/2015 11:00 with the time pattern

hh:mi

 I'd lost the seconds which are relevant for this modification.

Dear Trader,

As you probably already noticed the pending orders expire on a second specified time. The log message that you receive shows the expiration time without seconds indeed. We will improve the logging to include also the seconds in the expiration time in one of our future releases.
