order, I get the error #130. I am using the Alpari UK Demo account. This is my code.... int Limit = 10; int stoploss = 2000; int takeprofit = 2000; double BuyLimitPrice = Ask-(Limit*Point); double StopPrice = Ask-((Limit+stoploss)*Point); double TakeProfitPrice = Ask+((-Limit+takeprofit)*Point); Print(BuyLimitPrice + " Stop: " + StopPrice + " TakeProfit: " + TakeProfitPrice); ordermodify error 130 int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT,0.1,NormalizeDouble(BuyLimitPrice,Digits),5,NormalizeDouble(StopPrice,Digits),NormalizeDouble(TakeProfitPrice,Digits),"LimitTest",0,0,Blue); I have been testing it on GBPUSD and get the following output: 2010.01.18 10:18:47 2009.12.30 23:59 LimitTesting GBPUSD,H1: OrderSend error 130 2010.01.18 10:18:47 2009.12.30 23:59 LimitTesting GBPUSD,H1: 1.60740000 Stop: 1.58740000 TakeProfit: 1.62740000 I have placed the stoploss and take profit values a fair distance away from the current price and the limit order price, so I'm sure there must be something else wrong. I have also tried setting the stoploss and take profit values to zero, and this gives the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How can you mql4 error codes find the part of your code that is causing the error? We tackle all this and more… To mql4 slippage start off, a formal definition from our friend, MQL4 Documentation: That's right! That is all you get from MetaQuotes. And the rest… Go figure! Ordersend Error 130 is briefly https://forum.mql4.com/29061 mentioned in other sections 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 https://www.forexboat.com/ordersend-error-130/ 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; ti
