Hi Serpentsnoir,
I have test this version on 5 digits, with
StopLoss=30
TakeProfit=40
and the error generated as shown here;
2011.04.27 22:47:44 universalMACrossEA[5 Dig]-V4 EURGBP,M5: sn Debug on sell: Bid,Slippage,aStopLoss,aTakeProfit 0.88554/30.00000/0.88466/0.89066
2011.04.27 22:47:44 universalMACrossEA[5 Dig]-V4 EURGBP,M5: sn Debug on sell: ticket,err,count -1/130/5
Could you teach me how to solve the 130 is invalid stops (TP, SL)?
Cheers

invalid stop loss, error 130
StopLoss and TakeProfit levels cannot be too close to the market. The minimal distance of stop levels in points can be obtained using the MarketInfo() function with MODE_STOPLEVEL parameter. In the case of erroneous or unnormalized stop levels, the error 130 (ERR_INVALID_STOPS) will be generated.
The above is from the Metaquotes documentation.
Error 130 occurs when you set the stop loss too close to the Bid/Ask price. It generally means that you should increase the stop loss to correct the problem or possibly, you should not be modifying the order to set a stop loss but instead should be closing it as it is very near to the current stop loss on the order.
Note that MarketInfo with Mode_Stoplevel may return a zero, at least it does with my broker FXCM so you may have to set manually.
invalid stop loss, error 130
Thanks for the explaination Tzuman.
For example even i have set the
SL = 200
TP = 150
it is still generating error 130 and my broker only need a minimum of 10pip for stoploss or take profit.
I am new to MT programming, still learning. Could you explain where to insert the MODE_STOPLEVEL monitoring parameter into the code ?
Cheers
not exactly what you want, i'm guessing, since i'm not clear what you mean... but start with this and let me know... sn
Hello, I've downloaded your version with BE feature but when compiling I got this error: "'UseBreakEven' - comparison expression expected
Please, can you check it up?
Thank you

Thank youI prefer to use integers for flags rather than boolean. It does not affect the operation of the EA. Just change the type to boolean if you want the error to go away.

Do you mean to add a line like this?: " bool UseBreakEven = false;"
(sorry for the question but I don't understand Metatrader code)
I made it that way and got no error.
Daily profit limit add on to EA.
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if someone could add the feature bellow, to the UMA cross EA attached.
extern string DayProfitHelp = "--Enter either DayProfitLimit in USD or DayProfitLimitPct in percent of last day balance. Set both 0 to disable.";
extern double DayProfitLimit = 0.0;
extern double DayProfitLimitPct = 0.0;
extern int DayProfitResetHour = 0;
extern bool DayProfitGlobal = FALSE;
I found this function very handy on another EA, and basically what it does is to stop the EA opening orders if a "x%" has been hit before the Stop time.
Also the trailing features is not working properly on the UMAcrossEA. If someone could help I appreciate.
Thks very much
