sell a buy position is at its bid price
use Bid-buysl
Check what mode of order execution you broker provides - instant execution or market execution?
If mode is "market execution" then you must open an order in two stages:
1. Open an order by OrderSend() without StopLoss and TakeProfit;
2. After the order is opened set SL and/or TP levels by function OrderModify().

Thank you for reply !
Question two :
1. Somebody told me that the market execution is only for futures not for Forex
Where can I get the meanings of both "instant execution" and "market execution"
2. Now I have to do two stages to finish one open order :
The OrderSend() and the OrderModify()
Do you think I need to insert sleep(int x); between the two stages ?
To avoid the OrderSend() is not accepted by the broker's server ?
Or may be you have some better suggestions ?
Thank you again !

Mr Rosh
Please give me some suggestions
How to make sure the server accepted the ask(OrderSend()) stably ?
Or how to find the server not accepted and how to send the ask again ?
I found the EA was passed during back testing,but for demo testing using OrderSend() is not so good !
The broker's server sometime ignore the signal !
ticket = OrderSend(....);
if (ticket < 0 ) Print("OrderSend failed wint error=",GetLastError());
Mr Rosh,
I met a problem
The terminal log said: "2008.07.01 02:29:11 AA_SMLTv5 EURUSD,H1: Error opening BUY order : 130"
But I check the EA that I don't find why it said "Error 130"(ERR_INVALID_STOPS)?
The program like this:
..............
double buysl=170;
..............
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,Ask-buysl*Point,0,"SMLTv8",1234,0,Green);
........
If I replace "Ask-buysl*Point" with 0,it's ok !
I think the "Ask-buysl*Point" is not wromg.
To be wacky ! the EA was passed doing the back test and only has the problem with the demo test
Please help me !
Thank you in advance !
