help required on mq4 function

New comment
 
I keep getting the error ERR_INVALID_STOPS for the function below:
OrderSend("EURUSD", OP_BUYLIMIT, 0.1, 1.2750, 100, 0, 0, NULL, 0, 0, Red)

Can anyone see what is wrong. I have left the stoploss and takeprofit as zero because I do not want stops on this EA. I assumed this meant no SL or TP was set. If that's not the case, then what do I do to indicate NO stops.?

Cheers Snip
 
Open price of the pending order is too close to market. Please read "MQL4: Execution errors"

Thanks, I'll look into that, but I was not expecting a problem with the open price as the error indicated the stops.
 
can someone explain why this is not working properly thanks

According to the documentation...

In case of false open price of a pending order, the error 130 (ERR_INVALID_STOPS) will be generated

  2. “Doesn't work” is meaningless — just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires — meaningless.

  1. You say you want it to compile, and then you say no errors. So you have compiled it, or not? What's the problem?
  2. You say it doesn't show in the tester. How should we know what you are doing wrong? We can't see your PC. Your image shows the terminal isn't even connected to your broker.
  3. Code is irrelevant until you can get it running. Then do you expect it to show you something?
