Invalid Stops,can't place an order

[[Deleted]]

Hi !

I'm having trouble to place a pending order.

Everyprice is fine but i couldn't put it to work.

i'm using this method:

void EnviarOrdemVenda(double preco_entrada,double stop_loss,double take_profit)
{

 MqlTradeRequest request={0}; 
    ZeroMemory(request);
   request.action=TRADE_ACTION_PENDING;         // setting a pending order 
   request.order = ORDER_FILLING_FOK;
   request.magic=12345;                  // ORDER_MAGIC 
   request.symbol=_Symbol;                      // symbol 
   request.volume=Lote;                          // volume in 0.01 lots 
   request.sl=stop_loss;                                // Stop Loss is not specified 
   request.tp=take_profit;                                // Take Profit is not specified   
   datetime Tempo_Novo[];
    int TempoCopiado =CopyTime(_Symbol,_Period,0,1,Tempo_Novo);   
   request.type_time =ORDER_TIME_SPECIFIED;
   datetime expiracao = Tempo_Novo[0] + (PeriodSeconds()*2);
   request.expiration =expiracao;
//--- form the order type 
      request.type=ORDER_TYPE_SELL_STOP_LIMIT;  
  
 
//--- form the price for the pending order 
   request.price=preco_entrada+200;  // open price 
//--- send a trade request 
   MqlTradeResult result={0}; 
   OrderSend(request,result); 
//--- write the server reply to log   
   Print(__FUNCTION__,":",result.comment); 
  
   if(result.retcode==10016) Print(result.bid,result.ask,result.price,"ERROR:"+GetLastError()); 

  }

i'm trying to sell for example at : 79255 ,i set my stoploss to 79555 ( difference of 300 points) and my tp to 78900 but still can't place any order.

Would you have an Idea that can help me ? Thanks !
