Error with SendOrder (Buy/Sell) for failed market buy 0.01 EURUSD tp: xxxx [Invalid stops]

[Marcello Campagna]

Hi all,

I have a boring issue with the execution of order (Buy or Sell) that use the TP.  I know that's a common issue reading others threads but the code seems correct so don't know what i have mistake.  I'm going crazy because the error happen when thet TP is lower than 120 pips. :(

I paste function called and the code of the method.

SendOrder(MagicNumber,ORDER_TYPE_BUY,LotSize,"TP1",TP1);     //TP1 - GetIndicatorValue(14) error if offeset < 120
SendOrder(MagicNumber,ORDER_TYPE_BUY,LotSize,"TP2",TP2);    //TP2 - GetIndicatorValue(15)

Function SendOrder():

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void SendOrder(long const magic_number, ENUM_ORDER_TYPE const order_type, double lotSize, string comment,int offset = 50)
  {
//--- declare and initialize the trade request and result of trade request
   MqlTradeRequest request= {0};
   MqlTradeResult  result= {0};
//--- parameters of request
   request.action   =TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;                     //type of trade operation
   request.symbol   =Symbol();                              //symbol
   request.volume   =lotSize;                               //volume of 0.1 lot
   request.type     =order_type;                            //order type

   request.deviation=5;                                     //allowed deviation from the price
   request.magic    =magic_number;                          //MagicNumber of the order
   request.comment  =comment;
   
// order triggering price
   double point=SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_POINT);          //value of point
   int    digits=(int)SymbolInfoInteger(Symbol(),SYMBOL_DIGITS);  //number of decimal places (eg. 5 EURUSD)

   if(order_type == ORDER_TYPE_BUY)
     {
      //request.price=SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_ASK); //price for opening
      request.tp = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_ASK)+offset*point,digits);
     }
   else
     {
      //request.price=SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_BID); //price for opening
      request.tp = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_BID)-offset*point,digits);
     }

//--- send the request
   if(!OrderSend(request,result))
     {
      PrintFormat("OrderSend error %d",GetLastError());     //if unable to send the request, output the error code
     }
   else
      PrintFormat("retcode=%u  deal=%I64u  order=%I64u",result.retcode,result.deal,result.order);
  }

I hope that some god person and better developer of me can help.

Have a nice day

Hello,

I think mean 120 points not pips.

Any way.

First, check broker stop level.
