MT5 error 10007: Request canceled by trader (TRADE_RETCODE_CANCEL)

The request was canceled on the terminal side before it reached the market. Nothing was executed.

10007TRADE_RETCODE_CANCEL
YesSafe to retry?
NoCould it have executed?

What it means

You see this code in the retcode of a trade result, from OrderSend() in MQL5 or order_send() in Python.

10007 says the trader side called the request off. In practice this happens when the terminal asks for a manual confirmation and the request is declined, or when the request is withdrawn before the server acts on it.

It is not a broker rejection. The server never filled anything.

Common causes

  • A confirmation dialog in the terminal was closed or declined.
  • A tool or plugin in the terminal that cancels requests it doesn't like.
  • The trade request was withdrawn while it waited to be processed.

How to fix it

  • Turn off manual confirmation for automated trading, so requests from code are not held for a click.
  • Check for other tools in the same terminal that might cancel requests.
  • Send again once you know the cancel was not on purpose.

Example in MQL5:

MqlTradeRequest req = {};
MqlTradeResult  res = {};
req.action   = TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;
req.symbol   = _Symbol;
req.volume   = 0.10;
req.type     = ORDER_TYPE_SELL;
req.price    = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_BID);
req.deviation = 20;

if(!OrderSend(req, res) && res.retcode == TRADE_RETCODE_CANCEL)
   Print("Canceled on the terminal side, nothing was sent to the market");

Is it safe to retry?

Yes, once you have checked that nobody canceled it on purpose. The first request did nothing.

Could the order have executed?

No. A canceled request never became an order.
