You can find the list of trading error codes here.
ERR_INVALID_STOPS 130 Stops are too close, or prices are ill-calculated or unnormalized (or in the open price of a pending order). The attempt can be repeated only if the error occurred due to the price obsolescense. After 5-second (or more) delay, it is necessary to refresh data using the RefreshRates function and make a retry. If the error does not disappear, all attempts to trade must be stopped, the program logic must be changed.
This is a very Common Error. Doing a Simple search will give you allot of solutions for this Error.
Stop_Level= MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL);
Also, allot of brokers Do-Not allow sending Stoploss and TakeProfit in the initial OrderSend. You'll have to send with value of 0 and then OrderModify.

I'm having trouble creating EAs because, for some reason, the OrderSend order does not work. I have tried a number of very simple EAs, using different signals, etc., and all do not work, citing a 130 execution error. Below is one of the EAs that have had this problem. I feel stupid because I am unable to figure out what I'm doing wrong, even though I have created many successful EAs in the past, but even those do not work. It makes me think that there is something on the platform that I have done wrong. The "Expert Advisers" button is pushed, and in the Tools menu, with "Options" selected, I have selected all boxes (except the disable EAs when a new account is opened or when profile changed). If anyone has any suggestions as to what I'm screwing up, I would be very grateful. Thanks.
