error code 138 even after using RefreshRates

New comment
 

Hi everyone, I encountered error code 138 when backtesting. I've looked on the internet that RefreshRates() can fix this. However after using it the problem still exist. Here's my code:

if(newBar && !CheckIfOpenOrdersByMagicNumber(MagicNumber))
     {
      //+----------------------------BUY-----------------------------+
      if(CheckOpenPosition(1)==1)
        {
         RefreshRates();
         double stoploss      = Bid-(Stoploss_Multiplier*ATR());

         double lotSize       = NormalizeDouble(OptimalLotSize(Risk_Per_Trade,Ask,stoploss)/lotType,2);
         if(lotSize < MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MINLOT))
            lotSize = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MINLOT);

         if(((AccountStopoutMode() == 1)                                                     &&
             (AccountFreeMarginCheck(Symbol(), OP_BUY, lotSize) > AccountStopoutLevel()))    ||
            ((AccountStopoutMode() == 0)                                                    &&
             ((AccountEquity() / (AccountEquity() - AccountFreeMarginCheck(Symbol(), OP_BUY, lotSize)) * 100) > AccountStopoutLevel())))

            ticket              = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lotSize,Ask,slippage,stoploss,0,"Strong BUY",MagicNumber);

        }
      //+----------------------------SELL----------------------------+
      if(CheckOpenPosition(1)==2)
        {
         RefreshRates();
         double stoploss      = Ask+(Stoploss_Multiplier*ATR());

         double lotSize       = NormalizeDouble(OptimalLotSize(Risk_Per_Trade,Bid,stoploss)/lotType,2);
         if(lotSize < MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MINLOT))
            lotSize = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MINLOT);

         if(((AccountStopoutMode() == 1)                                                     &&
             (AccountFreeMarginCheck(Symbol(), OP_SELL, lotSize) > AccountStopoutLevel()))   ||
            ((AccountStopoutMode() == 0)                                                    &&
             ((AccountEquity() / (AccountEquity() - AccountFreeMarginCheck(Symbol(), OP_SELL, lotSize)) * 100) > AccountStopoutLevel())))

            ticket              = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,lotSize,Bid,slippage,stoploss,0,"Strong SELL",MagicNumber);

        }
     }
   else
     {
      double lots          = OrderLots();
      
      //double trailingStop = Stoploss_Multiplier*ATR();
      if(NewBar() && OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET))
        {
         //+--------------------------------------------------------for BUY order--------------------------------------------------------------+
         if(OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderType()==OP_BUY)
           {
            //+--------------------------------------------------------Closing Order--------------------------------------------------------------+
            if(CheckClosePosition(1)==1)
              {
               RefreshRates();
               bool resCO = OrderClose(ticket,lots,Bid,slippage);
               Print("Buy order #",OrderTicket(), " closed");
               if(!resCO)
                 {
                  Print("Error in Closing Order. Error code=",GetLastError());
                  return;
                 }
               else
                  Print("Closing Order successfully for ticket: ", OrderTicket());
              }

            //+---------------------------------------------------trailing stop loss Plan---------------------------------------------------------+
            double trailingStop = Bid-Stoploss_Multiplier*ATR();
            if(newBar && OrderStopLoss()<trailingStop)
              {
               bool resSL = OrderModify(ticket,OrderOpenPrice(),trailingStop,OrderTakeProfit(),0);
               if(!resSL)
                 {
                  Print("Error in Order Modify. Error code=",GetLastError());
                  return;
                 }
               else
                  Print("Order modify successfully for ticket: ", OrderTicket());
              }
            else
               return;

           }

         //+----------------------------------------------------------for SELL order-------------------------------------------------------------+
         if(OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderType()==OP_SELL)
           {
            //+--------------------------------------------------------Closing Order-------------------------------------------------------------+
            if(CheckClosePosition(1)==2)
              {
               RefreshRates();
               bool resCO = OrderClose(ticket,lots,Bid,slippage);
               Print("Sell order #",OrderTicket(), " closed");
               if(!resCO)

                  return;
                 }

                 {

            else
               return;

           }
        }
     }

after looking into backtest journal I found that some of the order (image attached) closed but instead of closing it still modify the stoploss of the trade, I think the order isn't really closed. Does anyone knows why error 138 still occur even after using RefreshRates()?

You can't Close Sell Orders on the Bid Price.

You can't Close Sell Orders on the Bid Price.

Thanks for your help.

You select by ticket but do not verify that the order is still open.
