OrderModify() problem (NOT error code 1)

I have the following code to modify the stoploss of the open 'SELL' orders,

Inserted Code
.....
OrderSelect(Tickets, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
 
SL = MA + spread; //MA is the calculated moving average, and spread speaks for it self.
    OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),SL,OrderTakeProfit(),0,CLR_NONE);

the order is modified every time the market price varies and the problem is that, the modifed value of stoploss is not always equal to the value of SL....

I dont know why this happens...

With in a period, I checked the value of SL with
Inserted Code
comment(SL)
it is really not changing...

but the stoploss is anyway modified, and keeps jumping between two values: SL and SL - spread.



Could someone explain this? Thanks a lot,

    OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice),SL,OrderTakeProfit(),0,CLR_NONE);

the ordermodify function seems to have an error at the OrderOpenPrice bit where the bracket is closed.... it should not compile

anyway... how do you calculate the MA value... can you show us the code?

oh, that's a typo in the thread and it is fine in the code.

I calculated MA using standard iMA func.

Sorry... I cannot help you without the code... the only thing I can think of is using GetLastError() to print the error message after the modification function.
