Just a thought that you could place Stop orders of the same size instead of Stoploss and Take then delete the remaining pending order when there is no trade open since either the Stop above or below the trade has been hit and closed the trade with the opposite trade.
So place 3 trades ? and if I lose connection after these three trades are placed I am in triple the trouble ;-)
I've been looking at this particular problem for some time and am starting to feel I am missing something very obvious. Running on the Strategy tester I get error 130 consistently for some trades that happen during my testing period . . the vast majority of trades are fine. For example:
I use a BUY_STOP so I can set SL and TP (MBT ECN broker) . . another . . .
Now the error 130 . . .
Freeze Level and Stop Level are both 0.0, it's an ECN broker, but anyway, the Stops are a long way off on all 3 trades, the TPs are 16 pips, 13 pips away from Ask and 19 pips for the trade that gave Error 130. As you can see from the RefreshRates entry the price is not changing super quickly . . . what am I missing ? any ideas ?Hi RaptorUK, I am having a very similar problem with an EA that has worked well for months. After 2 months of not using it, I retried it and every trade gets the same error - "Error opening Sell Order : 130" - that would be great but the order placed was a BUY order. I tested the pip differences by adjusting the gaps both closer (within 10 points) and farther apart (50 points) but the error was the same and I couldn't shake it. I wondered about running in test mode but the prior use was in normal times during a currect chart run. I would add the broker name but that's probably frowned upon. If you find out why some brokers are randomly throwing this error at some traders I'd love to know the reason.
Maybe your spread has opened up in the last few months ? is this an ECN broker ? can you show us the error taken from the log ?
