Error 10016 can you explain why, the stoploss is 7 pips far away from the price in the right direction
fygauc: 3Hello, I am getting error 10016 invalid stops and sometimes, I do not have this error. And I do not understand why. In this failing example, the selling price is at bid 1.13139, the ask at 1.13175 and the stop loss is at 1.13248. Do you think a stop loss of 7.3 pips is too small to be acceptable ? Thank you for your kindly reply
TP is higher than SL in SELL.
You are selling. So how can the TP (1.14639) be above the Ask (1.13175)?
