Cool review :)

You are trying to place a buy stop with 0.14 lot.

price 1.07998 SL = 1.07956 - difference 42 points - error

price 1.08006 SL = 1.07957 - difference 49 pips - got it wrong

price 1.08009 SL = 1.07957 - difference 52 pips - accepted!

Maybe it's the difference between SL and price that's the problem?

Why was it a mistake if the stop was 20 pips. And if not 20 (changed), still check

price 1.07998 SL = 1.07956 - this is a bystop, all ok

the second one too, and the third one...

In my code:

ValidStop = SymbolInfoInteger(Symbol(),SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL);
if( Ask-iMA(NULL,0,MAperiod,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0) >= ValidStop*Point)
   {
    double price;
    Lots = LotsOptimized();
    if(ValidStop<=StopLevels) price = MarketInfo(_Symbol,MODE_ASK)+StopLevels*_Point;
    else price = MarketInfo(_Symbol,MODE_ASK)+ValidStop*_Point;
    
    if(OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUYSTOP, Lots, price, 2, NormalizeDouble(iMA(NULL,0,MAperiod,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0),_Digits), 0, NULL,      OrderMagic)) GetLastError();
  }

I only read your picture!

Well, the code above just checks for the difference between the order and the price for the stop that it should not be less than the stop loss. Plus we add the value of stop levelling to the ack and place the order at that level.

if( Ask-iMA(NULL,0,MAperiod,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0) >= ValidStop*Point)
 

That is, the pause is always placed at the price, which is the sum of the current asc + stop level for buying, and the bid-stop level for selling

if(ValidStop<=StopLevels) price = MarketInfo(_Symbol,MODE_ASK)+StopLevels*_Point;

The value of Stop-Level is often displayed incorrectly. The code returns one value, when in fact it is a different value. I've encountered it returning 0 but actually 20. Or it even returned 20, but I could set it to a smaller value by hand!

I don't even know what to do then... I looked through print - they always return 20. It may be that while sending an order, the price changes by a point or more... that's why the server returns an error

You can't trade on the brink of a stop level in a fast market. It's like trying to open on an instant execution with a 1 pip slippage on a five digits - 90% that there will be requotes.

Add some backlash.

0 means that either it does not exist or it is checked on the server by an algorithm known to him alone.

And we need to count from the correct prices (do not confuse bid with ask). And SL with TP of market deals should not be checked from the opening price, but from the price at which they will trigger.
