Ordersend Error 138
We tackle all this and more… To start off, a formal definition from our friend, MQL4 ordersend error 4107 Documentation: That's right! That is all you get from MetaQuotes. And the rest… Go figure! Ordersend Error 130 is briefly mentioned in other sections order modify error 130 of the documentation. However, there is 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: " + string(ticket)); } What we are doing here is taking the ticket number and that OrderSend() returns and checking if it is less than zero. If yes, then that is a signal from MetaTrader 4 telling us that there was a problem with the request. The error code is then printed out onto the screen using Alert() and the built-in GetLastError() function. This code will give a pop-up window like in the image up at the top of this article. Note: you can use Print() instead of Alert() to redirect the message straight to the EA's log instead of displaying it on t
