MarketInfo MODE_STOPLEVEL = 0.00 + OrderSend Error 130

New comment
 

Hello,

my Broker (ECN) allows scalping. So, I get this Info for MarketInfo MODE_STOPLEVEL: 0.00. It is a 5 digits Broker.

BUT when sending orders I get the very known error message: OrderSend Error 130.

These are my Commands:

OrderSend(SYMBOL_MAIN,OP_SELL,0.1,Bid,30,NormalizeDouble(Bid + 15* Point, Digits),NormalizeDouble(Bid - 15* Point, Digits),"Comment",MAGICMA,0,Red);

OrderSend(SYMBOL_MAIN,OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,30,NormalizeDouble(Ask - 15* Point, Digits),NormalizeDouble(Ask + 15* Point, Digits),"Comment",MAGICMA,0,Green);

If I decrease the Stoploss from 15 to 10 then I get the OrderSend Error 130 though MODE_STOPLEVEL = 0.00.


Hope, you can help me.

Thanks,

Alex

Try sending the order with Sl and Tp equal Zero. If that works then use order-modify to set Sl and Tp.
 

Replace

OrderSend(SYMBOL_MAIN,OP_SELL,0.1,Bid,30,NormalizeDouble(Bid + 15* Point, Digits),NormalizeDouble(Bid - 15* Point, Digits),"Comment",MAGICMA,0,Red);

to

OrderSend(SYMBOL_MAIN,OP_SELL,0.1,Bid,30,NormalizeDouble(Bid + 150* Point, Digits),NormalizeDouble(Bid - 150* Point, Digits),"Comment",MAGICMA,0,Red);

 
Take a look here: http://crum.be/ecn and here: http://crum.be/45digit
 

Thank you very much.

It seems to work now. It was the simple 5 digits problem.

I seemed to have the same problem.  My previous MT4 program has been working very well using a market buy/sell order with stoploss and take profit but now it was in error #130.  I am sure that my stoploss/takeprofit were correct because it worked before.  Also I was trading in crude oil futures so no problem of 4/5 digits in FX.  Moreover, my takeprofit is set to be zero (i.e. no take profit) and the stoploss is set to 100 points outside.  

How come I had to do an ordersend without SL/TP parameters and then modify the order.  The coding makes so clumsy.  Why couldn't I put in single one ordersend logic?

Assistance from any experienced will be very appreciated.

Why couldn't I put in single one ordersend logic? Because the system wouldn't allow you. Times are changing and most brokers are going to ECN instead of Dealing-Desk. ECN does-not allow Sl and Tp sending with order.

If you have the same problem why didn't you read any of the previous answers ?

Did you look at the code I posted just above your comment? I showed how it's done in four statements.
