check Ask+(100*point) and Bid-(100*point) hope it works
 
Try using NormalizeDouble() to set correct number of Digits.
,NormalizeDouble(iClose(NULL,0,1)+Trigger,Digits),
 

Try To Ude RefreshRates() Before ticket= OrderSend(.....)

  
ticket= OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELLSTOP, Lots, iClose(NULL,0,1)-Trigger, 3,
                  Ask+100*Point, Bid-100*Point, "OpenShort", 1, expire, Pink);
  1. Don't need a RefreshRates unless you have a sleep or another server call before. You can drop the while(true), sleep, and breaks. Simplify.
  2. Can't open a pending order closer than MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL)*Point from current market. (On IBFX, stoplevel=30, 3 pips.) Last bar close and current bar open are likely +/- one pip. Depending on the timeframe, even adding ATR might be too close.
  3. You don't need to normalize values. As long as you're farther then stoplevel away. I have no normalize in my code. I compare doubles >= never equality. SLnew=mathmin(x,Bid-stoplevel). Etc.
  4. On some brokers you must open the order first and then set the TP/SL. The same applies to pending order I believe. I also found that mt4 was checking the stops against the current price instead of where the price would be. Drop the stops and set them when the order opens.
    start(){
    for(int pos = OrdersTotal()-1; pos >= 0 ; pos--) if (
        OrderSelect(pos, SELECT_BY_POS)     // Only my orders w/
    &&  OrderMagicNumber() == Magic         // my magic number
    &&  OrderType()        <= OP_SELL       // Open orders only
    &&  OrderSymbol()      == Symbol() ){   // and symbol
        if (OrderStopLoss() == 0) {
           if(!OrderModify( OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice, oo.SL, oo.TP, 0)){
              Alert(...
    }
    ...

  5. You must adjust TP, SL, and slippage for 5 digit brokers
    //++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
double  pips2points,    // slippage  3 pips    3=points    30=points
        pips2dbl;       // Stoploss 15 pips    0.0015      0.00150
int     Digits.pips;    // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips)
int init(){
    if (Digits == 5 || Digits == 3){    // Adjust for five (5) digit brokers.
                pips2dbl    = Point*10; pips2points = 10;   Digits.pips = 1;
    } else {    pips2dbl    = Point;    pips2points =  1;   Digits.pips = 0; }
    // OrderSend(... Slippage.Pips * pips2points, Bid - StopLossPips * pips2dbl

 
WHRoeder:
  1. Don't need a RefreshRates unless you have a sleep or another server call before.

I do not know, maybe maybe not, but I had a similar problem in the past 12 hours and everything worked out after putting RefrashRates()

ordersend followed by ordermodify? Two ordersends? Very long computation?

Doesn't hurt but won't fix other problems.
