I think, you set wrong Lots parameter in
bool OrderClose( int ticket, double lots, double price, int slippage, color Color=CLR_NONE)
It should be equal to position size or less.

expose please source code for orders close. then your question can be answered

thanks man it was the lots size , coz i copy the line from other expert
 
I got same error ERR_INVALID_TRADE_VOLUME: it is not Order Close Error it is OrderSend Error . because there is invalid LotVolume for ordersend function. that's why.
 
Where is the code
You should share it with us
 
I used many codes to solve this issue but not solve yet. i have no problem with mt4 plateform and i did not see this error but on mql5 i got this error .when i solve this then i share the code here. but if any other expert know how to solve this error then please must share with us. Thanks
 

Error 131 means the lot size is incorrect. Each broker sets their own parameters.

  • There is a minimum lot size (SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN) e.g. 0.1
  • If you try to trade 0.01 your lot size is invalid
  • There is a maximum lot size (SYMBOL_VOLUME_MAX) e.g. 100
  • If you try to trade 150 your lot size is invalid
  • There is a lot step (SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP) which your lot size must be an increment of e.g. 0.1
  • If you try to trade 0.15 your lot size is invalid. 

So, before placing any trade you must check these values using SymbolInfoDouble() and adjust your lot size accordingly.
