The orders sent are opened and closed abruptly

[ildeb]

Hi, when I send a trade order, the SL and TP cannot set or receive the data and remain at zero. After a few seconds MT4 automatically closes the newly opened order but I can't see any error in the logs.

Construct Trade: {'_action': 'OPEN', '_comment': 'DWX', '_type': 1, '_symbol': 'USDCHF', '_price': '0.99868', '_SL': '1.00679', '_TP': '0.98628', '_lots': 0.09, '_magic': 227059, '_ticket': 0}

Hi,

The SL and TP should be in points, that's why the SL and TP are not valid.

I also wanted to be able to send it like that with values and tried to change the code in the metatrader but I couldn't get it to work

Hi @ildeb,

As @pwerspire mentioned, SL and TP values need to be set in points, yes.

This was programmed this way to support any asset class as well as to promote flexibility -> e.g. so traders don't have to necessarily request the latest price first in order to set an appropriate SL/TP.

The MQL Server EA receives the SL/TP values in points and handles the execution accordingly.
