if(ticket>0)
{
if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES)) Print("BUY order opened : ",OrderOpenPrice());

{
sellstop=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,Lots,NormalizeDouble(OrderOpenPrice()-50*point,digits),3,0,0,"try2 sample",magic,0,Green);

selllimit=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLLIMIT,Lots,NormalizeDouble(OrderOpenPrice()+50*point,digits),3,0,0,"try2 sample",magic,0,Red);

Hello wang

I suspect that you want to open the sell orders so they are stop-loss and take profit levels for the first buy order. If this is so, then it will not work. Each new pending order will open a new position in addition to the existing buy order. In order to set up a stop-loss and take profit for an order it is done in either of two ways.

1. Set the stop-loss and take profit levels in the original OrderSend(). You just have to make sure that the levels are more than the StopLevel away from the current price.

2. Use OrderModify() to set the stop-loss and take profit levels in a similar way.
