openModify() giving error 130
Please use this to post code . . . it makes it easier to read.
I suspect that your SL is too close to the market because of this . . .
double Bottom = Ask - 0.05;
. . . increase it to 10 pips and try again, if it works with 10 pips then you know what your problem is. Bear in mind if the SL triggers it is a sell and happens at the Bid price, difference between Bid and Ask is the spread.
Do some reading about Freezlevel and Stoplevel . . . MODE_FREEZELEVEL & MODE_STOPLEVEL here: https://docs.mql4.com/constants/marketinfo
Hi all,
this is my first post, so please bear with me. I have read through about 8 posts which were similair to mine, but nothing to help me unfortunately.
I am trying to play around with the expert advice system and have come up with a simple start function as below:
int start()
{
//Open a position
Alert("Placing order");
int currentOrderID = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,currentWager,Ask,0,0,0,"Magic",0,0,Green);
Alert("Ask = ", Ask);
double Top = Ask + 0.05;
Alert("Top = ", Top);
double Bottom = Ask - 0.05;
Alert("Bottom = ", Bottom);
OrderSelect(currentOrderID, SELECT_BY_TICKET);
Alert("Market info = ", MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL));
if(currentOrderID>-1)
{
Alert("Modifying Order");
bool done = OrderModify(currentOrderID, OrderOpenPrice(), Top, Bottom, 0, Green);
if(done)
{
Alert("Order Modified Successfully.");
}
else
{
Alert("Order Modified returned the error of ",GetLastError());
}
Sleep(120000);
}
else
{
Alert("Error");
Alert("OrderSend failed with error #",GetLastError());
Sleep(60000);
return;
}
return;
The asking, stoploss and takeprofit values come out as: 1.4382, 1.3882, 1.4882, which seem fine since I am Buying. Though i still get error 130. I would really appreciate any help you can give me
Thank you very much,
