HELP: Invalid Stop for Pending Order
StopLoss and TakeProfit levels cannot be too close to the market. The minimal distance
of stop levels in points can be obtained using the MarketInfo() function with MODE_STOPLEVEL parameter. In the case of erroneous or unnormalized
stop levels, the error 130 (ERR_INVALID_STOPS) will be generated.
Some brokers prevent setting stops close to price , others do not. Complain to broker.
I am actually trying to place pending orders. I have the stoplevel and it is 5pips.
Which mean the price I am trying to place should be alright.
I get this error when running my EA on the Strategy Tester.

I have getting this error which I don't understand.
I am trying to place the following order in my EA, but the strategy tester is reporting Error 130 - Invalid Stop.
Here are the information.
1. USDJPY oper: 4 lot: 0.3 openprice: 116.96 stoploss: 0 profit:0 Bid: 116.91 Ask: 116.94
2. USDJPY oper: 4 lot: 0.3 openprice: 116.99 stoploss: 0 profit:0 Bid: 116.91 Ask: 116.94
The stoplevel for USDJPY is 5 pips. And this is a BuyStop which I am trying to place above the market price.
So what went wrong here?
