hi RaptorUK

 that was my ordersend, bid px was 1.51817 at that time (so ask would've been higher than that).

 

have you seen anything like that before? 


 
the T/P, I set 2.0000 as my stop loss would chance according to market (trailing stop).

What is your Stoplevel ?  did you read the article I gave a link to ?
 

 sl: 1.51387

I have read your link, I'm sure I didn't any of those rules.

I asked about Stolplevel not Stoploss.   If you don't know what your Stoplevel is how do you know your trade meets the rules ?

Your SL have to be to a distance greater then STOPLEVEL (MarketInfor(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL or ask your broker) from MARKET PRICE. For a buy market price is Ask. So RaptorUk ask you Ask price and Stoplevel at the moment you place your pending order.


By the way, if your order is rejected, that is because your Stoploss is to close from market price.

WRONG   NOT SL but the OrderOpenPrice() of the BuyLimit is here problem  5 Points difference with Bid

wrong thinking if you think STOPLEVEL  is  only for Stoploss of the trade 

 

Isolate the problem. Use NO SL or TP (for ECN brokers)

Print out the Ask, your open price and stoplevel and GetLastError on the error, so you find out why.

Did you normalize the open price properly?

You are right.
