Oanda AutoTrading

Postby DanielFXS » 22 Feb 2022

Hi,
I used to autotrade on Oanda years ago and then some new European law stopped me from using Multicharts, and I gave up trying. Only recently I have been trying to use Oanda again as a way of running my strategies. I have an Australian demo account I am using. I can connect to multicharts and place manual trades. However whenever I try run an automated strategy the orders get rejected. Is this normal? Is it possible to auto trade on Oanda using Multicharts? Thanks

Hello DanielFXS,

Please let us know what the rejection reason is.
You can check that in File > New > Order and Position Tracker > Logs tab.

Actually I believe this is my fault. In the strategy properties > auto trading > select broker plug in. The account was set to a different Oanda account. I haven't had the chance to fully test but I believe it's working fine. Thanks for getting back to me.

DanielFXS,

That must be it.
In Strategy Properties > Auto Trading tab > Select broker plug-in select OANDA, then click on the gear icon and in the window that appears click Lookup and make sure the correct account is selected. Otherwise the orders will be rejected with "Account field is empty" error.
Please note that this must be done for each chart.
