i have found this on the internet. i think its possible to do some changes and then it will work like it should.

i have tried but i couldnt get it because i am not an expert 

#property show_inputs
//#property show_confirm
extern double Lots = 0.1;
extern int Slippage = 3;
extern int Stop_Loss = 20;
extern int Take_Profit = 100;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| script "Open a new Buy Order" |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
  {
   double Price = WindowPriceOnDropped();
   bool result;
   int cmd, total, error, slippage;
//----
   int NrOfDigits = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_DIGITS); // Nr. of decimals used by Symbol
   int PipAdjust; // Pips multiplier for value adjustment
   if(NrOfDigits == 5 || NrOfDigits == 3) // If decimals = 5 or 3
      PipAdjust = 10; // Multiply pips by 10
   else
      if(NrOfDigits == 4 || NrOfDigits == 2) // If digits = 4 or 3 (normal)
         PipAdjust = 1;
//----
   slippage = Slippage * PipAdjust;
   double stop_loss = Price + Stop_Loss * Point * PipAdjust;
   double take_profit = Price - Take_Profit * Point * PipAdjust;
//int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,0.1,Bid,29,0,0,"Sell more",255,3,CLR_NONE);
   if(Bid > Price)
     {
      result = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELLSTOP, Lots, Price, slippage, stop_loss, take_profit, "", 0, 0, CLR_NONE);
     }
   if(Bid < Price)
     {
      result = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELLLIMIT, Lots, Price, slippage, stop_loss, take_profit, "", 0, 0, CLR_NONE);
     }
//----
   return(0);
  }

i want nothing else then to place the buy or sell stop order 10 pips away from the marketprice.

You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid. Pending Buy Stop orders become market orders when hit by the Ask.

  1. Your buy order's TP/SL (or Sell Stop's/Sell Limit's entry) are triggered when the Bid / OrderClosePrice reaches it. Using Ask±n, makes your SL shorter and your TP longer, by the spread. Don't you want the specified amount used in either direction?

  2. Your sell order's TP/SL (or Buy Stop's/Buy Limit's entry) will be triggered when the Ask / OrderClosePrice reaches it. To trigger close at a specific Bid price, add the average spread.

  3. The charts show Bid prices only. Turn on the Ask line to see how big the spread is (Tools → Options (control+O) → charts → Show ask line.)

    Most brokers with variable spreads widen considerably at end of day (5 PM ET) ± 30 minutes.
    My GBPJPY shows average spread = 26 points, average maximum spread = 134.
    My EURCHF shows average spread = 18 points, average maximum spread = 106.
    (your broker will be similar).
              Is it reasonable to have such a huge spreads (20 PIP spreads) in EURCHF? - General - MQL5 programming forum (2022)
