Error: Price changed / requote / off quotes

Created by Levi Dane, Modified on Tue, 30 Dec, 2025 at 5:30 AM by Levi Dane

Quick answer

These errors usually mean the receiver couldn’t execute at the requested price due to fast market movement or missing quotes.

  1. Retest on a highly liquid symbol during normal hours
  2. Reduce lot size
  3. Ensure the receiver platform has live prices

Symptoms

  • Logs show:
  • "Requote"
  • "Off quotes"
  • "Price changed"
  • "Invalid price"
  • More frequent during high volatility or news

Most common causes

  • Fast price movement (slippage)
  • Receiver has poor connectivity / high latency
  • Receiver terminal is paused / not receiving ticks (MT)
  • Market is thin (rollover, off-hours)

Fix steps

  1. Test with a small trade on a liquid symbol (e.g., EURUSD) during active hours
  2. If using MT4/MT5, confirm the chart is receiving ticks and the EA is connected
  3. Consider running the receiver on a VPS closer to the broker for better execution

Verify it worked

  1. Place a tiny test trade during normal hours
  2. Confirm in Logs the receiver trade is placed successfully

If it still fails (Escalate)

Include in your ticket:

  • Symbol
  • Time of failure (timezone)
  • Whether this happens only during news/volatility
