You should share your code for help.

for (int i=0;i<=ObjectsTotal()-1;i++)

 if (stopPos==false && sumSpread<maxSpread)

 if (ObjectType(ObjectName(i))==OBJ_TREND)
 {
 double lp=ObjectGetValueByShift(ObjectName(i),0);

 double lineBiddist=MathAbs(NormalizeDouble(Bid-lp,Digits));

ok
  
  ord=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lot,Ask,maxSlippage,Ask-(sl*Point),Ask+(tp*Point));

You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid. Pending Buy Stop orders become market orders when hit by the Ask.

  1. Your buy order's TP/SL (or Sell Stop's/Sell Limit's entry) are triggered when the Bid / OrderClosePrice reaches it. Using Ask±n, makes your SL shorter and your TP longer, by the spread. Don't you want the specified amount used in either direction?

  2. Your sell order's TP/SL (or Buy Stop's/Buy Limit's entry) will be triggered when the Ask / OrderClosePrice reaches it. To trigger close at a specific Bid price, add the average spread.

  3. The charts show Bid prices only. Turn on the Ask line to see how big the spread is (Tools → Options (control+O) → charts → Show ask line.)

    Most brokers with variable spreads widen considerably at end of day (5 PM ET) ± 30 minutes.
    My GBPJPY shows average spread = 26 points, average maximum spread = 134.
    My EURCHF shows average spread = 18 points, average maximum spread = 106.
    (your broker will be similar).
              Is it reasonable to have such a huge spreads (20 PIP spreads) in EURCHF? - General - MQL5 programming forum (2022)
