Error 10016 (invalid stops) when placing order in python mt5

[GUIFFOU JOEL]

Hello,

That is my first topic on this forum. I need a solution to my problem.

I am using python to place order on a list of mt5 accounts. But on some account I have the error 10016 that mean Invalid stops. What i don't understant is that the same order run without problem on others accounts.

I noticed that it happen rondomly, not always on the same accounts.

That is my function to run a position:

# Function to place a trade on MT5
def place_order(order, symbol, volume, sl, tp, comment, price=0, deviation=10):
    try:
        request = {
            "symbol": symbol,
            "volume": volume,
            "magic": magic_number,
            "comment": "Position run by python bot",
            "deviation" : deviation,
            "type_time": MetaTrader5.ORDER_TIME_GTC, 
            "type_filling": MetaTrader5.ORDER_FILLING_FOK, # ORDER_FILLING_IOC
            "sl": sl,
            "tp": tp
        }
        if order == "BUY":
            request["type"] = MetaTrader5.ORDER_TYPE_BUY
            request["price"] = MetaTrader5.symbol_info_tick(symbol).ask
            request["action"] = MetaTrader5.TRADE_ACTION_DEAL
        if order == "SELL":
            request["type"] = MetaTrader5.ORDER_TYPE_SELL
            request["price"] = MetaTrader5.symbol_info_tick(symbol).bid
            request["action"] = MetaTrader5.TRADE_ACTION_DEAL
        if order == "BUY_STOP":
            request["type"] = MetaTrader5.ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP
            request["price"] = price
            request["action"] = MetaTrader5.TRADE_ACTION_PENDING
        if order == "BUY_LIMIT":
            request["type"] = MetaTrader5.ORDER_TYPE_BUY_LIMIT
            request["price"] = price
            request["action"] = MetaTrader5.TRADE_ACTION_PENDING
        if order == "SELL_STOP":
            request["type"] = MetaTrader5.ORDER_TYPE_SELL_STOP
            request["price"] = price
            request["action"] = MetaTrader5.TRADE_ACTION_PENDING
        if order == "SELL_LIMIT":
            request["type"] = MetaTrader5.ORDER_TYPE_SELL_LIMIT
            request["price"] = price
            request["action"] = MetaTrader5.TRADE_ACTION_PENDING
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        return False, 0

    # Send the order to MT5
    order_result = MetaTrader5.order_send(request)
    
    if not order_result:
        print("order failed on this account, error code = ", MetaTrader5.last_error())
        return False, order_result

    # Notify based on return outcomes
    if order_result[0] == 10009:
        print(order_result)
        #print("Order for EURUSD successful") # Enable if error checking order_result
        #return order_result[2]
        return True, order_result
    else:
        # Print result
        print(f"Error placing order. ErrorCode {order_result[0]}, Error Details: {order_result}")
        #raise exceptions.MetaTraderOrderPlacingError
        return False, order_result

The error happen for the orders BUY and SELL.

And that is a result for a position:
