I believe I can confirm that for eg. Alpari Micro Account (it has to be a "live" account), you have to do OrderSend with zero SL and TP and then straightaway afterwards, modify the order with the required SL and TP to get it to work. I do an OrderSelect straight after so that I can use OrderOpenPrice() as the open price in the OrderModify parameter list.

That's what I changed in my code and it seems to work now.

I think I had the same problem with Axis trader so maybe I'll try it on there again some time.

The only other thing I did was make sure that when I sent the OrderSend, there was a magic number not zero on it.

Good luck to all.

No, is not.

But this broker have 3/5 digits and in this case you need to multiply your TP/SL with 10.

TakeProfit = 10 so you need TakeProfit = 100; 

extern double TakeProfitPip = 10;
extern double StopLossPip = 21;
  1. On a 5 digit broker 21*point is 2.1 pips. Must adjust TP, SL, and slippage.

    //++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
double  pips2points,    // slippage  3 pips    3=points    30=points
        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
  2. On an ECN broker, you must OrderSend with No (zero) TP, SL. Then modify the order.

  1. Don't paste code
    Play video    		Please edit your post.
    For large amounts of code, attach it.
  2. extern double TakeProfit=1;
bool  bop = OrderModify(bop,OrderOpenPrice(),Ask-StopLoss*Point(),Ask+TakeProfit*Point(),0);
    What are your limits? Requirements and Limitations in Making Trades - Appendixes - MQL4 Tutorial 1 pip may not be possible.
  3. You can not use any Trade Functions - MQL4 Reference unless you select the trade first.
  4. You buy at the Ask, so stops are relative to the Bid. You are trying to set a SL above the market, if the spread is more than 1 point.
  5. Where are you adjusting for 4/5 digit brokers? On a 5 digit broker Point is 1/10 pips.
  6. What is the first argument to OrderModify - Trade Functions - MQL4 Reference and what are you passing?

Thanks a lot. Spent hours in futility.
