The stop loss value in the OrderSend() function is wrong. It uses the following:
Inserted Code
NormalizeDouble(DoubleToStr(50,0),Digits)

This results in an absolute value, not the stop loss relative to the ask or bid price, for buy and sell orders respectively.
(why they would use DoubleToStr() instead of just "50" here is also not clear to me, but that's not the issue.)

It could be fixed in the following way:

  1. for buys: [code]NormalizeDouble(Ask - 50 * Point, Digits)[/code]
  2. for sells: [code]NormalizeDouble(Bid + 50 * Point, Digits)[/code]


I've updated the EA to reflect this. Note that I've also seen some other issues with it, don't think you should trust this EA very much

Thanks, now Order send error 4051,
