datetime issue in Order Send and a 130 error

[Michael]

How do you put the date in for expiration in the OrderSend function if your using a 'pending order' command? If I replace tmpTime+3450 w/ 0, it works.

I also get an 'invalid stops - 130' on my order modify.

Anyone got any ideas? I'd appreciate it. TIA!

TakeShrt(SymBid,ProfitTarget, SymPoints,SymDigits) ????

qjol:

TakeShrt(SymBid,ProfitTarget, SymPoints,SymDigits) ????

oops. Sorry.

double TakeShrt(double price,double take,double point,double SymDgts )
{
if(take==0) {  return(0);}
else        {  return(NormalizeDouble( price-(MathAbs(take)*point),SymDgts));}
}

Change this:

datetime tmpTime=TimeSeconds(TimeCurrent());

To this:

datetime tmpTime=TimeCurrent();
