We tackle all this and more… To start off, a formal definition from our friend, ordermodify error 1 MQL4 Documentation: That's right! That is all you get from MetaQuotes. And the rest… Go figure!

no thorough guide to what "Invalid Stops" actually means and how to deal with this, perhaps, most common problem in Forex programming. But not a worry! That's why I have written this article. Let's get through this together! The silent killer So… you launched your expert advisor and… nothing happens. No BUY orders, no SELL orders, no pending orders, not even error messages in

the logs…. Just silence. You decide to wait a few hours / days / weeks, and nothing really changes - the charts go up and down, but you don't see any profit. This can go on forever… The real reason is simple - you're actually getting ERR_INVALID_STOPS (which is the correct technical term for the issue), but you can't see it. That's because 130 is a silent killer. A cold-blooded murderer of your brain and inner calm 🙂 There is no way to pick up this error through expert advisor logs or even terminal logs. The only way to catch it is by adding the right failsafe mechanisms into your code. Here's an example you can adapt to your code: int ticket; ticket = OrderSend("EURUSD", OP_BUY, 1.0, Ask, 10, StopLossLevel, TakeProfitLevel, "My 1st Order!"); if(ticket < 0) { Alert("OrderSend Error: ", GetLastError()); } else { Alert("Order Sent Successfully, Ticket # is: " + string(ticket)); } 1234567891011 int ticket; ticket = OrderSend("EURUSD", OP_BUY, 1.0, Ask, 10, StopLossLevel, TakeProfitLevel, "My 1st Order!"); if(ticket < 0) {Alert("OrderSend Error: ", GetLastError()); } else {Alert("Order Sent Successfully, Ticket # is: " + s

Below is the code for buying: Inserted Code ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,Lots,HighBar1+BuySellBuffer*PointFive,3,0,0,"My EA",12345,0,Green); if(ticket>0) { if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES)) Print("BUY order opened https://www.forexboat.com/ordersend-error-130/ : ",OrderOpenPrice()); OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),HighBar1-HighMinusLow-(StopBuffer*PointFive),HighBar1+TakeProfit2,0,Green); } else Print("Error opening SELL order : ",GetLastError()); return(0); The reason I am getting error 130 is that this places a buy stop two pips above the previous bar. When a candle closes near the high is when I get this error and sometimes the order never fills. Any ideas on how I could make this work when this happens?

I understand what the problem is, I don't know how to code it to resolve it. I get error 130 because of the fact that my open price on my buy stop is to close to my current price. If the price continues to go up will never get filled. What I'm wondering is there a way to increase the open price by X amount when this happens until it gets filled?

and Regulations (1) Setup (6) Trading Education (8) Ordersend Error 130 - Invalid Stops Error If you are getting the Metatrader error: Ordersend Error 130, it could mean a few different http://thetrademachine.com/blog/2010/01/06/ordersend-error-130-invalid-stops-error/ things are going wrong. First, it might mean your stop loss is too https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/56281 close to the market price. Second, it might mean your take profit is too close to the market price. And Third, if you are placing a pending order, you might be trying to place it too close to the market price. What should you do? Because there are many different forex brokers error 1 with different account types out there, you have to check the current account's market info within your expert advisor to find out the minimum stop level distance you have. Some accounts are 3 pips, while others might be 15 pips. The function you will use is called MarketInfo(). It requires two parameters, SYMBOL & TYPE. SYMBOL is the currency pair or security you want to ordermodify error 1 access and TYPE is the request identifier to specify the account info you wish to return. Since we are looking for the minimum stop level, we will use the type, MODE_STOPLEVEL. double MarketInfo (string symbol, int type) EXAMPLE: int MinStopDist = MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_STOPLEVEL); Once you have this data, you want to make sure you do not try to place stop losses or take profits closer than this minimum distance from the market price. Additionally, you do not want to try to place pending orders closer than this distance from the current market price. If you are using an expert advisor that you do not have the source code for, you will want to look in the input value settings and see if there is a stop loss or minimum stop loss setting that you can change.
