INVALID_STOPS 130

Hello guys im coding my first EA and im with some problems with the stop loss. 

So, in the 1 minute time frame it wroked perfectly, but i tryed to test the EA in higher time frames

than i got an error about unmatched data, i downloaded from de history center data from the pairs and it runs the EA ok.

But in some of my orders it does not place the stops, my doubt is if the problem is with my code or it could be some unmatched data?

Thanks for your attention, sorry for my poor english.

You are basing your stops off the previous candle; that has no relation to your entry.

TP is the close[1] plus n*ATR SL is Low[1] minus n*ATR
Hello WHRoeder, thank you very much for your help!
