Old tick means that the price for a currency pair, by the time the
price reached your VPS/trading station it was too “old” to consider.
This is a problem with the broker where their server is too slow (or
overloaded). Please consult with your broker. This ‘old tick’ message usually happen when their server on maintenance . Simply, Old Tick is an old price... we have all seen instances where MT4 server hiccups, slows down, or just stops... the feed from your broker server is slow or their server was down for a bit, or is just very slow and unreliable or just plainly overloaded.

To correct this issue click on tools, then click on options, click the trade tab and go down to deviation and select the slippage you are comfortable with for example 3pips then press ok. The issue is caused by one or both of two things. One is Server slow or meta trader hickup. Two EA does not have a setting for slippage and it is trying to open a trade at a price that is no longer available. To correct both of the two follow the instructions above.
