stoploss error

New comment
 

hello,

am sending an order using this statement

TicketOrderBuy=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, OrderQuantity, Ask, Slippage, Ask-StopLossPips*Point*PointFactor,
                     Ask+TakeProfitPips*Point*PointFactor,"", 1, 0, Green);
      

where in this case PointFactor =1 , stoplevel =0 , StopLossPips and TakeProfitPips are 10

at stoploss argument i am having a differnce of 10 pips from Ask but still am receiving an error of invalid stops . i would be grateful if any will help me getting rid of this error 

thanks

So this means you are trying to set the SL and TP at Ask . . .  that isn't going to work,  why do you think it would ?

while placing a buy order should i not be using ask as current price for stop loss or take profit ???

That's up to you and your strategy,  you said  "StopLossPips and TakeProfitPips are 0"  Ask-StopLossPips*Point*PointFactor  would then equal Ask - 0.0 which is Ask

Ah,  OK.  What is your Stoplevel and Freezelevel ?  and have you checked if your Broker is an ECN type ?  See link posted by ZacharyRC
