error 130 is invalid stops.

Not looked at your code but either you are setting stops with your order (many brokers do not allow that).
You need to set order and the modify the order for the stops.

OR

Setting stops too close too market

OR

invalid stop value format (use normalisedouble)

You've attached a SL and TP to your initial order. If you're an American with a US broker that's not allowed.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Thanks!
Could you please someone make a code change to the ECN broker?

I use 7bit's common_functions.mqh for handling ECN and other mundane tasks:

https://sites.google.com/site/prof7bit/common_functions

Include the mqh file at the beginning of the EA. Set the global variable IS_ECN_BROKER = true in your init function. Replace your calls to OrderSend with orderSendReliable. It takes care of the ECN nonsense as well as retries, etc.

When you compile you will see a million warning messages fly past. Ignore them, they're harmless.

I use this file all the time and it works great.

cyber1,
Thank you so much, I'll try !!

2. when trailing SL move to BE, I need gain a few pips,
for example: open price 1,23100, trailing SL 30, when price hit 1,23131, move SL to 1,20101 (+1 pips from BE)

2. when trailing SL move to BE, I need gain a few pips (1,2,....possibility of setting
for example: open price 1,23100, trailing SL 30, when price hit 1,23131, move SL to 1,23101 (+1 pips from BE)

3. time settings
time from: EA begins trading from the preset time, the signal is valid only 1 bar that follows EMAcross + RSI confirmation, not later

Hello,
A break even stop adjusts the stop loss to be equal to the order opening price, after a certain level of profit has been reached. The break even stop is independent from your initial stop loss and trailing stop.

The structure that you should use is something like this.

Inserted Code
  extern double BEProfit = 5;
  OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET);
  RefreshRates();
  double myProfit = Bid – OrderOpenPrice();
  double minProfit = BEProfit * PipPoint(Symbol());
  if (myProfit >= MinProfit   &&   OrderOpenPrice() != OrderStopLoss())
  {
     bool BE = OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),  OrderOpenPrice(),OrderTakeProfit(),0);
     if (BE == false)
    {
     ......
    }
  }

Regards,
