  1. Is this your own code, from the CodeBase or from the Market?
  2. If it is your code (or from CodeBase), is it checking the Broker's "Stops Level" (minimum stop size)?
  3. Are you respecting using the correct opening and closing prices (as well as the spread) for your calculations of the stops (i.e. T/P and/or S/L)?
    1. Buy Orders open at Ask price and close as Bid price.
    2. Sell Orders open at Bid price and close at Ask price.
  4. In all these cases:
    1. ... print out what the Market prices and spreads are at the time, so you can see if the stops are valid or not.
    2. ... print out the error code to see what the exact nature of the problem.
    3. ... check both the "Journal" as well as the "Experts" log for information.
