                  MqlTradeResult mqlresult;

                  mqlrequest.action=TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;
                  mqlrequest.price = NormalizeDouble(result.bid,5);        
                  mqlrequest.sl = NormalizeDouble(result.bid-0.00021,5);
                  mqlrequest.tp=NormalizeDouble(result.bid+0.00022,5);
                  mqlrequest.symbol=_Symbol;
                  mqlrequest.volume=Lot;
                  mqlrequest.magic=MagicNum;
                  mqlrequest.type=ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP;
                  mqlrequest.type_filling=ORDER_FILLING_FOK;                 
                  mqlrequest.deviation=Deviation;

MqlTradeRequest mqlrequest={0};

Please read the documentation, buy stop/sell stop is a pending not a deal order.

TRADE_ACTION_PENDING

Place a trade order for the execution under specified conditions (pending order)

[Langtha Prosanta Daudung]

If you are using true ECN broker.

Order should be loaded in two step.

step 1.  Place the order with Sl=0.0 and TP=0.0.

step 2. Modify the order to set desired SL and TP.

Of course not.

Thanks for the reply Alain Verleyen !!

What are the parameters that we need to fill in MqlTradeRequest mqlrequest; in all below parameters to place Sell stop loss order after a buying.

I tried with below code but it is giving me invalid price.

      mqlrequest={0};

      mqlrequest.action = TRADE_ACTION_PENDING;                             
      mqlrequest.price = NormalizeDouble(latest_price.bid,_Digits);    
      mqlrequest.sl = NormalizeDouble(latest_price.bid + STP,_Digits);
      mqlrequest.tp = NormalizeDouble(latest_price.bid - TKP,_Digits);
      mqlrequest.symbol = _Symbol;                                        
      mqlrequest.volume = Lot;                                           
      mqlrequest.magic = MagicNum;                                 
      mqlrequest.type= ORDER_TYPE_SELL_STOP;        
      mqlrequest.type_filling = ORDER_FILLING_FOK;   

      mqlrequest.deviation=100;
