Please can someone help with error 130.
| 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 obsolescence. 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. |
B.T.W. dont use a bool for OrderSend you use an int
see Here
I know I have lots of work to get this to happen but all i want to get this to do at the moment is open a position on signal, but I cant get it to trade. I keep getting error 130. Even when i set SL and TP to 0.
But you ARE setting a SL, default input 50
If you send a buy order at 1.5000 with SL at 50.0000 it will not be accepted.

Hi,thanks for the reply, the with that in mind setting the SL and TP to 0 as default should eradicate error 130?
However I still get error 130.
How would i adjust the code taking into account 1:200 account and could someone please explain normalize and how this is used in my current circumstance.
Thank you for your help.
#include <stdlib.mqh> extern int dist2=6; extern int SignalBar=2; input double lots=3; int start() { Alert(MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL)); bool uptrend=iCustom(NULL,0,"super_signals_v2_alert",1,1)!=EMPTY_VALUE; bool downtrend=iCustom(NULL,0,"super_signals_v2_alert",0,1)!=EMPTY_VALUE; Comment(uptrend," ",downtrend); if(downtrend) { bool ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,3,Bid,3,0,0); } else if(uptrend) { ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,3,Ask,3,0,0); } return(0); }
This is what I have.
I get this error on backtest:

}
are you using 5 digit broker or 4
i think 50 points is to close try 500
I can place trades now but only buy and not when the signals are fired as desired:
Can someone please have a look at the indicator to see what I mean, buyt when green paint at next bar and vice versa for sell. only one trade in each direction with oposite signal closing the position.

it's the same
you have to do it like before
bool uptrend=iCustom(NULL,0,"super_signals_v2_alert",1,1)!=EMPTY_VALUE; bool downtrend=iCustom(NULL,0,"super_signals_v2_alert",0,1)!=EMPTY_VALUE;
Thanks,
I cant get the trade entry right. Here is the logic from the indicator,
#property indicator_chart_window #property indicator_buffers 2 #property indicator_color1 Red #property indicator_width1 4 #property indicator_color2 Lime #property indicator_width2 4 extern int SignalGap = 4; extern bool SoundON=true; extern bool EmailON=false; int dist=24; double b1[]; double b2[]; int flagval1 = 0; int flagval2 = 0; int init() { SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_ARROW,STYLE_SOLID,1); SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_ARROW,STYLE_SOLID,1); SetIndexArrow(1,233); SetIndexArrow(0,234); SetIndexBuffer(0,b1); SetIndexBuffer(1,b2); return(0); } int start() { int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted(); int k,i,j,limit,hhb,llb; if (counted_bars<0) return(-1); if (counted_bars>0) counted_bars--; limit=Bars-1; if(counted_bars>=1) limit=Bars-counted_bars-1; if (limit<0) limit=0; for (i=limit;i>=0;i--) { hhb = Highest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,dist,i-dist/2); llb = Lowest(NULL,0,MODE_LOW,dist,i-dist/2); if (i==hhb) { if (i == 1 && flagval1==0) { flagval1=1; flagval2=0; if (SoundON) Alert( SELL HERE AT OPEN OF NEXT BAR) } b1[i]=High[hhb]+SignalGap*Point; } if (i==llb) { if (i == 1 && flagval2==0) { flagval2=1; flagval1=0; if (SoundON) Alert("BUY HERE AT OPEN OF NEXT BAR"; } b2[i]=Low[llb]-SignalGap*Point; } } return(0); }
I think i may have the wrong settings in the EA as I want to enter trades only on these signals, one trade open at any one time in one direction.
How would I transfer the above conditions into the EA code?

I am using the following code to open trades based on signals from a custom indicator (attached)
When the indicator paints a green symbol i want to open open a long position on the open of the next bar and vice versa for a red symbol.
I know I have lots of work to get this to happen but all i want to get this to do at the moment is open a position on signal, but I cant get it to trade. I keep getting error 130. Even when i set SL and TP to 0.
Please can someone help me with this code. I have had various people try and explain but without a working example it is hard to progress and learn.
Thanks
