EA stop trading because of Invalid stops,Why?

[Elijah Joshua]

Please what  should I do my EA stop trading because I adjusted the Stop Loss to 10 Points I.e 1Pips

Your stop loss is to close to the current price, brokers have specific limits for these TP/SL distances.

You can check them at the instrument's specfications in the MarkeWatch window >> XAUUSD >> right click >> Specification >> Stop Level.

Thanks

But 1 Pips Stop Loss can be done manually and with pending orders

I have tried it and it works 

Is it possible that the EA does not allow 1Pips stop ?

No, this error message is coming from your broker, not the EA.

The error may occur due to the extreme volatility of Gold.

I just place pending order 10pips above the Price Action with 1Pips Stop Loss and it work

It has nothing to do with the stop level. Look at the spread, if the avg spread is 50 points, when you buy at the ask with a 10 point stop at bid, your are placing the stop INSIDE the spread.
