EA programming: MACDsample, stoploss and error130 - help please!

[Michele Bevilacqua]

Hello.

I need help for something that is still unclear to me.

I am practising on the MACD simple EA, and i.e. i want

to include in the order send, not only the Takeprofit

but also a stop loss.

The instruction in discussion is:

"""""""

ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,0,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,"macd sample",16384,0,Green);

"""""""

i would like to do something like this:

ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,Ask-30*Point,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,"macd sample",16384,0,Green);

But when i put the stop loss i got the error 130.

So i searched for help on the documentation, and 

got this trick at https://book.mql4.com/trading/ordersend 

in the "Error 130. Invalid Stop Orders" paragraph:

""""""""""""""""

   double bid   =MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_BID); // Request for the value of Bid

   double ask   =MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_ASK); // Request for the value of Ask

   double point =MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_POINT);//Request for Point

""""""""""""""""

In example with "ask-30*Point"

ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,ask-30*Point,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,"macd sample",16384,0,Green);

It is supposed, in this way, that substituting in the OrderSend()  instruction

in the EA, the internal variables "Ask" with the custom created variable"ask", "Bid" with "bid", 

and "Point" with "point" (even if -strangely- i've not understant why the trick/example change only Ask and Bid and not

change Point with point..) it is supposely to no more get error 130, but it still come to me.

I've tried also both the example with 

Ask->ask; Bid->bid; Point->point

and

Ask->ask; Bid->bid; Point->Point

but both them still give me the error.

Any suggestion, solution etc..?

What the easiest way to put a StopLoss of i.e. 15 pips, when the ordersend() ?

I.e. putting the stoploss when the order send, exactly as the order put the "take profit" order

contextually at the order sending?

I am not talking about a ordermodify, but to put a stoploss and a takeprofit at the moment

order sending -ordersend-

The trick i talked about may be useful, but it has the limit it works with a currency pair

a time, because someone should specify (declare) the variables and instruction in the 

EA BEFORE.

I mean that with that trick, i can trade EURUSD, but if i want to switch to USDJPY i should

change the program in example:

double bid   =MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_BID); // Request for the value of Bid

with

double bid   =MarketInfo("USDJPY",MODE_BID); // Request for the value of Bid

and that is lack of dinamicity for an EA.

All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Try:

Bid-30*Point

Great! Simply, it seems run. 

Thanks.

But now seems the error 130is  transferred to the ordermodify..

Thanks again.

I solved the error 130 to the ordermodify by siply doing

the same thing you suggested me about stoploss in ordersend

to ordermodify, in other words:

Bid-30*Point

even to ordermodify

Thanks.
