error 10015 with a buy limit order

Hi
I have been trying to modify this bit of sample code for use. I keep getting the Invalid Price error. Does anyone have any ideas
Thanks
This part doesn't make sense, and it's the reason you aren't getting filled. This needs to be a relevant entry price.
double price=1000*point; // unnormalized open price price=NormalizeDouble(price,digits); // normalizing open price
Your pip calculations are also wrong and need to be adjusted for 3|5 digit brokers (all of them). Also, you need to be using volume that's within the parameters of the symbol and also you need to be rounding to the tick-size and not the point. CSymbolInfo will help make your code more readable and provide easier access to the API data.
#include <Trade\Trade.mqh> //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Script program start function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnStart() { const int num_pips_entry = 10; const string symbol_to_trade = "GBPUSD"; CSymbolInfo symbol; symbol.Name(symbol_to_trade); symbol.RefreshRates(); double volume = symbol.LotsMin(); double xpip = symbol.Point(); if(symbol.Digits() == 3 || symbol.Digits() == 5) xpip *= 10; double price_entry = round_tick( symbol.Ask() - num_pips_entry * xpip, symbol ); double sl = round_tick(price_entry - 300 * xpip, symbol); double tp = round_tick(price_entry + 500 * xpip, symbol); datetime expiration = TimeCurrent() + PeriodSeconds(PERIOD_D1); int digits = symbol.Digits(); string comment = StringFormat( "Buy Limit %s: %.2f lots @ %s, SL=%s TP=%s", symbol.Name(), volume, DoubleToString(price_entry, digits), DoubleToString(sl, digits), DoubleToString(tp, digits) ); CTrade trade; bool is_success = trade.BuyLimit( volume, price_entry, symbol.Name(), sl, tp, ORDER_TIME_GTC, expiration, comment ); printf("BuyLimit() method %s. Return code=%d. Code description: %s", is_success ? "Successful" : "Failed", trade.ResultRetcode(), trade.ResultRetcodeDescription() ); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double round_tick(double price, CSymbolInfo &symbol) { return round(price / symbol.TickSize()) * symbol.TickSize(); }

Hi
Just an update in order to eventually get round this problem, i used the following code
#include <Trade\Trade.mqh> CTrade trade; // at the top of the page double askNow =NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK),_Digits); double bidNow =NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits); if(OrdersTotal()==0 && PositionsTotal()==0) { trade.SellLimit(0.10,(askNow+(200*_Point)),_Symbol,0,(bidNow-(200*_Point)),ORDER_TIME_GTC,0,0); }
I then modified it for my purposes
error 10015 with my sell orders
Hello team members,
I have a grim problem; I have written the function below to send pending orders to broker. Currently I am looking at BTCUSD and I keep getting "error 10015" as a response. I am new to MQL5; I have just been at it at about a week; so getting to understanf=d the language must have compromised by the need to rush to have a useful script ready. Pardon me for that.Any help suggestions w=etc shall be appreciated. Thanks!
