Stop and freeze level are first things to be considered in these cases.

Huge spreads can be another reason for this error, with information that you gave us is pretty impossible to understand where is the problem.

My function have spread and slipage protection

int SendSellOrder(string sym, double FXlot, int stopLoss,int takeProfit, int magic, int maxspread, int slipage, string FXcomment)
{
  RefreshRates();
  if(maxspread > 0 && MarketInfo(sym, MODE_SPREAD) > maxspread) return(0);

         tp,

         point =  MarketInfo(sym, MODE_POINT),
         price =  MarketInfo(sym, MODE_BID),
         stoplevel   =  MarketInfo(sym, MODE_STOPLEVEL);
  
  if (stopLoss != 0)   sl = NormalizeDouble(MathMax(ask   + (stopLoss   * point), ask + stoplevel ), digit); else sl = 0;
  if (takeProfit != 0) tp = NormalizeDouble(MathMin(price - (takeProfit * point), ask - stoplevel ), digit); else tp = 0;
  
  Print("EA Make a Sell for " + sym + " | Vol: " + DoubleToString(FXlot,2) + " | At: " + DoubleToString(price,digit) + " | Sl: " + DoubleToString(sl,digit) + " | Tp:" + DoubleToString(tp,digit) + "");
  return(OrderSend(sym, OP_SELL, FXlot, price, slipage, sl, tp, FXcomment + " | SELL", magic));
}

From what I see on your code, you already has a print log on your order send function.

Please, post the log that was printed when the error 130 happens.

And this is my function printed:

Apparently there is no problem realted to SL and TP.

I can suggest to you to normalize also the "price" variable to digits, in order to be sure.

Sometimes, I seen that, without specific reasons, if I don't normalize ask/bid price order send generate errors similar to invalid sl/tp.

I hope this can help.

If i send an order with Sl=0 and Tp=0 I dont have any issue !!!

So open order price is ok

Sometimes, on forums I seen words like "With ECN broker you need to send order without SL and TP and set them after the order is opened".

I never understood what they mean because I always worked with ECN brokers and I never had a problem in sending order with SL and TP, but maybe, with some broker, it can really occurs... and maybe the error 130 can happens...

It's just a theory.

Error opening SELL order drop pending error ECN Broker can't put

Dear Faeze

FXTM is ECN broker, You must first send order without sl & tp(SL & TP = 0), then modify order to set sl & tp.

Happy Writing!!! :)
