Order failed due to Invalid price

Essam Daoud 2019.06.01 03:05

A mql5 EA placed an limit sell order but the log shows failed due to Invalid Price. Any idea how to start to find the problem?

Notice that the prices are all good in the order but the results.ask and result.bid are both 0.0. Why is that?

Thank you

Here is the log file content:

KH 0 20:56:08.811 Trades '212121': sell limit 0.05 EURNZD at 1.71421 sl: 1.73645 tp: 1.71195

PE 2 20:56:09.076 Trades '212121': failed sell limit 0.05 EURNZD at 1.71421 sl: 1.73645 tp: 1.71195 [Invalid price]

Here is the code print out:
