Error #130?
Not totally sure, but what if you use "Bid+25*Point,Bid-50*Point" instead of the two values you use? Also it could help if you want to use the actual levels, try 14000*Point and 13000*Point or 140000*Point depending on if your broker use fractional pips or not.
But I never used actual values, only the distance from the OrderOpenPrice
Hello,
I tried the two ways but it doesn't work... very strange, I don't understand. My broker is FXCM
Hello olosta
May I recommend to you this link? It is part of the MQL book. Order Characteristics and Rules for Making Trades
.
Have you read the book yet?
You would not be dissappointed :)
Hi all,
I tried but it still doesn't work. I have seen that when I want to put a trade manually, I cannot put stoploss and profit target => it is in "grey". When I choose Buy Limit or Buy stop, the SL and PT fields are available.
So I tried with the option "OP_BUYLIMIT", "OP_SELLLIMIT", "OP_BUYSTOP" and "OP_SELLSTOP", and it works perfectly.
May be it is not possible to use the PT and the SL with the "OP_SELL" and "OP_BUY" from the ordersend() ?
I am going to read the previous link to see if I find something...
If someone has a solution ?
Many thanks for your efforts ;)

I can assure you that we all use StopLoss and TakeProfit with OP_SELL and OP_BUY types in the OrderSend() function.
You will normally configure them in extern variables as a relative number of pips away from the price and then include them in the OrderSend() function as a calculated absolute price as we've shown you above.
I recommend that you use the following function (just as a temporary test - you could even create a little EA that does only this command in the init() function):
Print("My broker's stoplevel is : ",MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL));

Hello olosta, I use Alpari UK - they use 3,5 pip prices - no issues with your send.
Consider using Print() of all OrderSend(...actuals...);
That way there can be no discussions regards what or what not you are giving OrderSend().
Please use DoubleToStr(<yourValue>,Digits) in your Print() calls.
Unless you have complete picture of what you are asking your code to do, is not really that easy guessing about it, is it?
Regards

code:
int start()
{
double lots=0.01;
int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,lots,Bid,3,Bid+250*Point,Bid-500*Point,"Ordre Court",0,0,Red);
printMarketInfo();
return;
}
.
results in:

Where are the Print() statement results?
Must know exactly what passing to OrderSend()
please do as CB says. use Print() and print out ALL values you are passing to OrderSend(), not just ones you feel maybe are at fault. And not leave out those you feel maybe are ok.
Is no good "feel", "maybe". You must know 100% what values and Print() is your friend.
.
Why MODE_POINT return zero?
I seem remember some issue but not now. Do you have EURUSD listed in Market Watch window? If not, add this symbol > rerun test2.
Since MODE_DIGITS:5 I would expect MODE_POINT:0.00001
.
15:23:09 test2 EURUSD,M1: market info MODE_POINT:0
15:23:09 test2 EURUSD,M1: market info MODE_DIGITS:5
15:23:09 test2 EURUSD,M1: market info MODE_SPREAD:22
.
See why is vital to KNOW what you send to a function?
There are issues here - how find out? Is simple = Print()
Any expression, any value - whatever, that is touched by Point maybe incorrect - same for any stuff, yes?
Your Print() output will tell you cuz you will manually do calculation ASIF Point or whatever, is as expected. Then you see that your calc is <> output, yes? Then you can start going deeper into WHY your calc and output not same - can even be that it is your calc that is faulty! and code ok...
.
use Print() everywhere! Not be cautious, have issue and must solve, yes?
.
I used EXACTLY same code line you posted for OrderSend() BUT I had to set lots by: double lots=0.01;
.
Hello,
I put 5 digits for the print it is better, so there is values in MODE_POINT.
I didn't put the print() for the ordersend() because there is simple values in it for the example.
I put you the ordersend() line :
int ticket=OrderSend("EURUSD",OP_SELL,1,Bid,3,1.50,1.30,"SHORT",0,0,Red);
if (ticket<0)
{
Print("OrderSend failed with error #",GetLastError());
return(0);
}
____
I precise again that when I use OP_SELLLIMIT (with a limit price instead of the "Bid") in OrderSend() instead of OP_SELL, it works
So this work :
int ticket=OrderSend("EURUSD", OP_SELLLIMIT,1,limit_price,3,1.50,1.30,"SHORT",0,0,Red);
if (ticket<0)
{
Print("OrderSend failed with error #",GetLastError());
return(0);
}

Hello,
I have an error message #130 and I don't understand what is it...
I trade on the EUR/USD forex.
if (OrderType()==OP_BUY && OrderSymbol()==Symbol()&& OrdersTotal()==1)
{
OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,0,Green);
}
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,lots,Bid,3,1.40,1.30,"Ordre Court",0,0,Red);
This mistake comes from the stopprofit and stoploss, but I don't see what. I tries mpany values...
Thanks
