All trade requests - to open, close and change positions - are put in a general queue in the terminal, which is called "Trading Flow". This error means that a new request was sent before the confirmation of the execution of the previous one was received. This may be due both to the low quality of connection (connection gap to the trading server), and to using trading advisers (experts) and other scripts that can simultaneously send multiple trade requests. It is not recommended to trade manually in the terminal, if a trading adviser is active at the same time - it could affect the execution of orders and, accordingly, the performance of the expert.
To clean the trading flow, it is sufficient to restart the trading terminal.
