Code Question - OrderSend()

Can someone be kind enough to tell me whats wrong with my code please?

OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, lots, Ask, 3, Ask-stoploss*Point, Ask+takeprofit*Point, "Buy trade", magic, Blue);


Thanks
JT

Hi JT,

comparing it with this, I see two things:

1. you didn't normalize TP and SL values
2. you're missing one parameter between magic and Blue

Greets,

Does the parameter between "magic, blue" have to be "0" ? I'm new to this and get confused.

}

Thanks for the responces but CJA set me straight that it was my broker and not my code.

Thanks everybody

You probably have the expiry date set to blue in the above.
