- EAs must adjust for 4/5 digit brokers, TP, SL AND SLIPPAGE
//++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers. int pips2points; // slippage 3 pips 3=points 30=points double pips2dbl; // Stoploss 15 pips 0.0015 0.00150 int Digits.pips; // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips) int init(){ if (Digits == 5 || Digits == 3){ // Adjust for five (5) digit brokers. pips2dbl = Point*10; pips2points = 10; Digits.pips = 1; } else { pips2dbl = Point; pips2points = 1; Digits.pips = 0; } // OrderSend(... Slippage.Pips * pips2points, Bid - StopLossPips * pips2dbl
- On ECN brokers you must open first and THEN set stops.

Hello Guys,
I have two demos accounts with oanda and fxcm. I niether case the order gets submitted, and GetLastError() returns 130, with means worn stop loss.
| ERR_INVALID_STOPS | 130 | Invalid stops. |
If I change to
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_ BUY,Lots,Ask,3,1.4,1.5,"my EA",16384,0,Green);
I still get the same error.
