Stop-loss and take-profit settings for buy and sell

[Keemetswe Duu Gabajesane]

Hello

I have the following code of which am expecting that on BUY ORDER its sets the SL and TP according to the ASK price and on SELL its sets SL AND TP according to BID PRICE. Everytime i run the bot is report INVALID stops 

 //define Ask, Bid
Ask = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK),_Digits);
Bid = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID),_Digits);
   //brokers settings management
symbolTickSize  = SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(), SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE);
symbolDigits    = (int)SymbolInfoInteger(Symbol(), SYMBOL_DIGITS);
   //money and risk manangemnt 
lot = 0.01;
stopLoss =20; //in points
takeProfit = 50; //in points

   //Take Profits for BUYs
buyTakeProfit = NormalizeDouble(Ask + (takeProfit * symbolTickSize), symbolDigits);
sellTakeProfit = NormalizeDouble(Bid - (takeProfit * symbolTickSize), symbolDigits);
   //Stop Loss for SELLs
buyStopLoss = NormalizeDouble(Ask - (stopLoss* symbolTickSize), symbolDigits);
sellStopLoss = NormalizeDouble(Bid + (stopLoss * symbolTickSize), symbolDigits);
