In this case, the StopPriceBuffer = 30. I've wondering if it has something to do with the spread and StopPriceBuffer falling between the value returned by MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL) and the Ask /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // Opens buy/buy stop and multiplies lot size based on signal strength // bool OpenSingleBuy(int strength,string cmt) { int ticket = -1; RefreshRates(); double AskStopPrice = Ask + StopPriceBuffer * Point; double BuyTP = Ask + TakeProfit * Point; double BuySL = Ask - OpenStopLoss * Point; double dLots = PercentPurchase(Ask,AccountBalance(),strength); if(UseStops) ticket = OrderSend( Symbol(), OP_BUYSTOP, dLots, AskStopPrice, Slippage, BuySL, BuyTP, cmt, MagicNumber, ExpDate, Lime); else ticket = OrderSend( Symbol(), OP_BUY, dLots, Ask, Slippage, BuySL, BuyTP, cmt, MagicNumber, ExpDate, Lime); if(ticket < 0) { Print ("Failed to OpenSingleBuy, error # ", Error(GetLastError())); Print("Buy Trade params: Symbol: " + Symbol() + " Lot Size: " + dLots + " Ask: " + Ask + " Bid: " + Bid + " StopAsk: " + AskStopPrice + " Slip: " + Slippage + " Stoploss: " + BuySL + " TakeProfit: " + BuyTP); return (false); } else { PlaySound("alert2.wav"); Print ("Successfully placed order with OpenSingleBuy"); return (true); } return (false); }

if you use minimum stoplevel, you must attention thisexample:
to set buyStopLoss, you must use Bid

double BuySL = Bid - OpenStopLoss * Point; double BuyTP = Ask + OpenStopLoss * Point;

I knew there was something I was missing. I could have looked at some of my other EAs to see that, too. if you use minimum stoplevel, you must attention this
example:
to set buyStopLoss, you must use Bid

Unfortunately, the same error is being thrown when sending buy_stop/sell_stop order. Again, it is not every time. The good news: The net profit is identical when running tests with same parameters.
