where to use FREEZELEVEL & STOPLEVEL?

[parham.trader]

Hi friends

I read the documentation about StopLevel and FreezeLevel, but for being confident about where to check StopLevel and FreezeLevel I decided to ask it from experts. I want to know whether I should use both -StopLevel and FreezeLevel- for all the following trade operations:

• OrderSend
• OrderModify
• OrderClose
• OrderDelete

Thanking in advance for your kind guidance

I normally use StopLevel only, on below;

• OrderSend (for pending orders only)
• OrderModify (for all modify operation, modify pending orders open price, modify order SL, modify order TP etc..)
• OrderClose (not needed)
• OrderDelete (not needed)

You need stop level for all four.

1. I never understood freeze level, and now stop level can be zero (ECN) so I use max F*point,S*point,3*pips
   
2. You can't move stops (or pending prices) closer to the market than the minimum (MODE_STOPLEVEL * _Point.)

3. You can't delete pending orders when the market is closer to price than stop level.
   
4. You can't close open orders when the market is closer to TP/SL than stop level.

So I think the best approach would be checking both  -StopLevel and FreezeLevel- for all four above-mentioned trade operations.

I'm writing 2 different functions to check stoplevel and freezelevel separately before making any trade operation.

thank you so much for your kind guidance,

If you are deleting a pending order, only freezelevel applies from the open price of the pending order.
