Hi caldolegare
I see the space between "1" and "5". That's one problem.
The other problem is "point" instead of "Point". You must write it with "P".
So, it should be like this:
int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lots,Ask,6,Ask-15*Point,Ask+takeProfit*Point,"comment",283,0,CLR_ NONE);
Bye.
Upon further review. I made those changes already. Sorry about that. I actually had it in my code like that and still got the problem. int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lots,Ask,6,Ask-15*Point,Ask+takeProfit*Point,"comment",magic,0,CLR_NONE);
caldolegare,
There's no problem in your above line of code Could u send the EA?

The problem still persists? I don't see any problem.
Try to define the stoploss variable:
extern int stoploss=15
and modify the ticket to:
int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lots,Ask,6,Ask-stoploss*Point,Ask+takeProfit*Point,0,magic,0,CLR_NONE);
may be this will work. However I can't see any problem.
Already tried that. Even tried this.
double stopLoss=15*Point
int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lots,Ask,6,Ask-stopLoss,Ask+takeProfit*Point,0,magic,0,CLR_ NONE);
Could it be that I am using double instead of int?

Could it be that I am using double instead of int?I am not sure if this will work, but give it a try...
int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lots,Ask,6,Bid-stopLoss,Ask+takeProfit*Point,0,magic,0,CLR_ NONE);
Some things in mq4 are case sensitive.
Ex: colors ...brown isn`t recognized while Brown is.
Everywhere in your code (including variables), try changing these:
stopLoss to StopLoss
takeProfit to TakeProfit
point to Point
Make sure that all words "lots" are either all spelled lots or Lots

Could it be that I am using double instead of int?Well, other possibility is the SL or the TP is too tight and your MT4 platform can't accept it. Just my two cents
OK I am completely confused now. It worked today and I didn't change a thing from the last time I ran it.
Just a question. If the price is jumping around quite a bit could it possibly give me an invalid stop error?

I am getting an invalid stop every time my EA goes to trade. It is driving me nuts. I have posted the OrderSend code for you to look over.
int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,lots,Bid,6,Bid+15*point,Bid-takeProfit*Point,"comment",283,0,CLR_NONE);
int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lots,Ask,6,Ask-15*point,Ask+takeProfit*Point,"comment",283,0,CLR_NONE);
A side point. I have int ticket for both functions as I have the buy and sell in seperate modules. Didn't want anyone to think I was declaring it twice.
