Hi there. Invalid price error. Need help with a fix.

void OpenSellPosition()

   double lowest_values[], highest_values[];
   CopyLow(_Symbol, _Period, 0, recent_lows_period, lowest_values);
   CopyHigh(_Symbol, _Period, 0, recent_high_period, highest_values);

   double entryPrice = iLow(Symbol(), Period(), 1) * 0.9998;
   double stopLoss = calculate_local_maximum(highest_values);
   double takeProfit = stopLoss - RiskRateRatio * (stopLoss - entryPrice);

   double lotSize = calculateLotSize(entryPrice, stopLoss);
   datetime expTime=TimeCurrent()+3600*TimeoutHours;
// Работа с объектом CTrade
   bool result = trade.SellStop(lotSize, NormalizeDouble(entryPrice, Digits()), _Symbol, NormalizeDouble(stopLoss, Digits()),  NormalizeDouble(takeProfit, Digits()), ORDER_TIME_SPECIFIED, expTime);
}


void OpenBuyPosition()
  {
   double lowest_values[], highest_values[];
   CopyLow(_Symbol, _Period, 0, recent_lows_period, lowest_values);
   CopyHigh(_Symbol, _Period, 0, recent_high_period, highest_values);

   double entryPrice = iHigh(Symbol(), Period(), 1) * 1.0002;
   double stopLoss = calculate_local_minimum(lowest_values);
   double takeProfit = stopLoss + RiskRateRatio * (entryPrice - stopLoss);

}
On some simbols i've got invalid price errors. For example i tested this variation on spx(s&p500) and on a spy(s&p trust) and on spy I've started to get tons of errors that says - "invalid price." Need help with it

Are you a programmer?
  
   double entryPrice = iHigh(Symbol(), Period(), 1) * 1.0002;
   double stopLoss = calculate_local_minimum(lowest_values);
   double takeProfit = stopLoss + RiskRateRatio * (entryPrice - stopLoss);

  1. Floating point has an infinite number of decimals, it's you were not understanding floating point and that some numbers can't be represented exactly. (like 1/10.)

    See also The == operand. - MQL4 programming forum (2013)

  2. Print out your values to the precision you want with DoubleToString - Conversion Functions - MQL4 Reference.

  3. SL/TP (stops) need to be normalized to tick size (not Point) — NormalizeDouble code fails on non-currencies.

    And abide by the limits Requirements and Limitations in Making Trades - Appendixes - MQL4 Tutorial and that requires understanding floating point equality Can price != price ? - MQL4 programming forum (2012)

  4. Open price for pending orders need to be adjusted. On Currencies, Point == TickSize, so you will get the same answer using NormalizeDouble , but it won't work on non-currencies. So do it right.

  5. Lot size must also be adjusted to a multiple of LotStep and check against min and max. If that is not a power of 1/10 then NormalizeDouble is wrong. Do it right.

  6. MathRound() and NormalizeDouble() are rounding in a different way. Make it explicit.

  7. Prices (and lots) you get from the terminal are already correct (normalized).

  8. PIP, Point, or Tick are all different in general.
