Why does this not work:

OrderSend(NULL,OP_SELL,0, 10611, 1, 10600, 10620,NULL,12121,0,Goldenrod);

price was at 10700!

When you send a market order, you must use Ask/Bid as entry price ... not a specific value.

And how about

OrderSend(NULL,OP_SELLLIMIT,0, 10611, 1, 10600, 10620,NULL,12121,0,Goldenrod)?

This doesnt work too!

You must normalize the price:

Inserted Code
NormalizeDouble( YourPriceHere , _Digit )

And of course send with a lot size. You are sending 0 as lot size.

And be sure your broker accept TP/SL to be sent at the same time with order. ECN doesn't allow this. You must modify the order after to set TP/SL.

Next try:

OrderSend(NULL,OP_SELLLIMIT, 1, NormalizeDouble(10611,5), 1, NormalizeDouble(10600,5), NormalizeDouble(10620,5), NULL, 12121, 0, Goldenrod)

Is it so correct? Sorry for the asking!

Is the entry price 10611 or should it be 1.0611?
For a sell limit entry need to be above the current price, SL needs to be above the entry price and TP below.

Thank you unbelievable how many possibilities there are to make mistakes....so thank you for your help...
By the way the value of german DAX30 was about 10600!

Tried several ways but failed....
Simply call for GPDUSD
OrderSend(NULL,OP_SELLLIMIT, 1, NormalizeDouble(2.0,5), 1, 0, 0, NULL, 1, 0, Goldenrod);
Alert(GetLastError());

I get every time error 4055!


How 2 solve?

You can't try to place orders from an indicator. It must be from an EA or a script.
