Stop Level for Gold

 

Hi all, how can I set the minimum entry level if the stop level in the specs is zero? 


I would like to write something like this to avoid error 130:

Entry_Long = Max(Entry_Long,Ask+MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL))

Thank you

If it is zero then there is no stops level for that symbol.

Also, the Stops Level is always in points (not price range), as already explained in your other thread.

 

If the stop level is zero, how can I set the minimum stop loss level?

If I try to open a trade manually stop price must respect a minimum distance, but I don't know how to determine it if the indicated stop level is zero.

If it is zero, then there is no minimum!!!

Using your example code (in old MQL4) ...

Entry_Long = Max(Entry_Long,Ask+MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL)*Point)

However, consider using the more modern MQL4+ code in your programs instead, as it is very similar to MQL5.
