MetaTrader error codes / MT5 trade return codes

MT5 error 10025: No changes in request (TRADE_RETCODE_NO_CHANGES)

The modify request asked for the values the order or position already has. Nothing needed to change, so it counts as success.

10025TRADE_RETCODE_NO_CHANGES
NoSafe to retry?
Not a tradeCould 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.

You asked to set stops or a price to the values they already have. The server has nothing to do, so it says so with 10025.

This isn't a failure. The order or position is already in the state you asked for.

Common causes

  • A trailing stop routine that sends the same stop again.
  • Rounding that turns a small change into no change.
  • A retry of a modify that already worked.

How to fix it

  • Compare the new values with the current ones, after rounding, and skip the call if they match.
  • Treat 10025 as success in your code.

Example in Python:

import MetaTrader5 as mt5

pos = mt5.positions_get(ticket=ticket)[0]
digits = mt5.symbol_info(pos.symbol).digits
new_sl = round(new_sl, digits)
if new_sl != round(pos.sl, digits):
    r = mt5.order_send({"action": mt5.TRADE_ACTION_SLTP, "position": pos.ticket,
                        "symbol": pos.symbol, "sl": new_sl, "tp": pos.tp})
    ok = r is not None and r.retcode in (mt5.TRADE_RETCODE_DONE, mt5.TRADE_RETCODE_NO_CHANGES)

Is it safe to retry?

No need. The state is already what you asked for.

Could the order have executed?

Not a trade. Nothing needed to execute. The values were already in place.

How Tickwire handles it

Tickwire counts 10025 as success and reports outcome no_change. See outcomes.

MT4 error 1 on a modify, which means the same thing, comes back as 10025.
