Of course, there will be an error, because the current price does not correspond to the request price, which means that an error will be generated. It will not even be sent to the server by your terminal. On the other hand, when you open at current prices, your terminal will send your request to the server, and when you receive the answer from the server, that's when the slippage will matter. If you get a price different from the price in your trade order, but within your set slippage limits, then your trade order will be executed. Otherwise, it will not.
If you wish to place an order different from the current bid/ask price, you can use pending orders. The allowed value to be set there will be the size of Stop Level.

Oops... Victor has already worked it out here... :)

Thank you, now I understand :)

Good afternoon, my friends.

Please advise on a method to determine how many bars a position is open.

In brief, you go through all the orders (orderselect and orderstotal functions), choose the necessary order, find out the opening time(orderproperty function), then paste this time into i-barshift function and this function will return you the bar number.

Good afternoon.

Does anyone know how to view account history in pips and not in currency?

Thank you very much, the algorithm is more or less clear. After getting the opening bar number, you need to subtract it from the current bar.

If you have a chance, please sketch the code, because I manage to make 3 mistakes in Russian, let alone in C.

Hello! Help me understand this.
