Help with Error 130

New comment
 

I am attempting to write my first EA, and have read the documentation and the MQL4 tutorial book. I believe I understand about minimum stop distances.

But try as I might, I'm still getting Error 130 when I submit my orders, and I don't understand why.

Here is the code:

minDistance = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL);
if (Debug) Print("Sending Sell Order: ", Lots_New, " lots at ", DoubleToStr(Bid, Digits),
" with Stop at ", DoubleToStr(SL, Digits), " and TP at ", DoubleToStr(TP, Digits));
if (Debug) Print("STOPLEVEL = ", DoubleToStr(minDistance, Digits));
SL = NormalizeDouble(SL, Digits);
TP = NormalizeDouble(TP, Digits);
Ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots_New,Bid,2,SL,TP,"",MN);


And here are some typical log results:

Sending Sell Order: 2.12 lots at 1.35846 with Stop at 1.35957 and TP at 0.00000

07:03:05 QuickScalp EURUSD,M1: STOPLEVEL = 1.00000

This is on a demo account at FinFx. This is SELL order, and clearly the stop (1.35957) is greater than the Bid price (1.35846) by much more than the required minimum level. The order is being entered without a take profit level.

Why am I still getting the Error 130?

Any help would be appreciated.

  
adjust for 5 digits broker (TP, SL, & slippage)
OrderSend(without TP & SL)
then
OrderModify (for TP, SL)

Thank you so much! I hadn't heard about that, but I will give it a try.
