OrderSend Error: 130

 

double stopLossPrice = NormalizeDouble(High[2]-0.2*(High[2]-Low[2]),Digits);
double takeProfitPrice = NormalizeDouble(High[2]+0.8*(High[2]-Low[2]),Digits);
double lotSize = OptimalLotSize(riskPerTrade,NormalizeDouble(High[2]+0.1*(High[2]-Low[2]),Digits),stopLossPrice);
openOrderID = OrderSend(NULL,OP_BUYLIMIT,lotSize,NormalizeDouble(High[2]+0.1*(High[2]-Low[2]),Digits),10,stopLossPrice,takeProfitPrice,NULL,magicNB);
if(openOrderID < 0) Alert("order rejected. Order error: " + GetLastError());


i keep getting OrderSend Error: 130 with this code but I cant seem to find the problem. Im backtesting on USDJPY. Any help would be appreciated.

    Don't use NULL.
    • You can use NULL in place of _Symbol only in those calls that the documentation specially says you can. iHigh does, iCustom does, MarketInfo does not. OrderSenddoes not.

    • Zero is the same as PERIOD_CURRENT which means _Period. Don't hard code numbers.
    • MT4: No need for a function call with iHigh(NULL,0,s) just use the predefined arrays, i.e. High[].
