Limit Orders

Yellowbeard 2014.06.27 17:33

Would anyone know how to place a limit order at a specific price? I'm trying to place them one pip above and/or below current price. Not having much luck. Thanks!

double SpreadA = (Ask - Bid);

double M=((Bid+SpreadA)+1*Point)

TakeTPB = (Bid+15*Point);

Order = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT,Lot,M,2,0,TakeTPB);

That is one point not one pip

These are the rules for orders opening prices :

I've managed to get buy and sell limit orders to open, but not buy and sell stop orders. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
