Invalid stops message when modifying orders

New comment
 

Hi guys,

 

I've got an expert advisor creating orders with:

request.action= TRADE_ACTION_PENDING;
I later modify those pending orders using:
request.action= TRADE_ACTION_MODIFY;
for some reason I keep getting messages like this:


2012.10.01 01:15:55	Trades	'517505': order #2345441 buy stop 0.10 / 0.10 EURUSD at 1.28128 placed

2012.10.01 01:15:56	Trades	'517505': failed modify order #2345441 buy stop 0.10 EURUSD at 1.28128 sl: 1.28098 tp: 1.28598 -> 1.28112, sl: 1.28082 tp: 1.28582 [Invalid stops]





Thanks in advance!
 
I figured out this doesn't happen on MetaQuotes Demo account, only on ActivTrades Demo Account!

Maybe ActiveTrades stoplevel is higher than MetaQuotes stoplevel. 

 

 
Even if im using sl and tp about 1ctfrom the price this is happening

Hi guys,

Look at the code of this guy: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/442 

He modifies his orders in order to set the  trailing stops (request.action=TRADE_ACTION_SLTP;)... the system works well.

I tried to modify the code for my own EAs, but Im having the same errors you are experiencing... :(

This article's objective is to study profitability of algorithms with different entries into trades and exits using trailing stop. Entry types to be used are random entry and reverse entry. Stop orders to be used are trailing stop and trailing take. The article demonstrates money-making algorithms with a profitability of about 30% per annum.
