OrderSend Error 130 — What to Do?

October 6, 2008 (Last updated on October 22, 2016) by Andriy Moraru

The expert advisors that work on one broker can stop working on another; the problem with them often lies in OrderSend Error 130. If you see Error 130 in the Log of your MetaTrader platform when your expert advisor should be opening a position, then that means that the stop-loss or take-profit levels are set to close to the current market price. In the MQL documentation this error is called ERR_INVALID_STOPS («Invalid stops»). Some Forex broker set the minimum distance between the current price and the stop-loss/take-profit levels to prevent scalping or abusing the quote delays. That’s not a real problem for the majority of the expert advisors that don’t use scalping. To prevent this error from occurring, you need to change the expert’s code.

First, you might want to know what’s the minimum stoplevel is set in your broker’s MetaTrader server. Adding this line of code will output the current minimum stoplevel for the currency pair of the chart, where you run the EA:

Print(MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL));

You shouldn’t be using stop-loss or take-profit level, which are closer than MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL) to the current market price. If your EA calculates stops and take-profits dynamically, this is what I suggest you to do:

Declare a global variable for the minimum StopLevel; e.g.:
int StopLevel;
int StopLevel;
In the init() function of your expert advisor define the minimum StopLevel:
StopLevel = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL) + MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_SPREAD);
StopLevel = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL) + MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_SPREAD);
Note, that adding a spread difference is also required.
The next time your stop-loss or take-profit is calculated, just check them to be not less than StopLevel:
if (StopLoss < StopLevel) StopLoss = StopLevel; if (TakeProfit < StopLevel) TakeProfit = StopLevel;
if (StopLoss < StopLevel) StopLoss = StopLevel; if (TakeProfit < StopLevel) TakeProfit = StopLevel;
Don’t forget to refresh the current market rates with RefreshRates() before adding the stop-loss/take-profits levels to the actual market rates.

That should help in the majority of the cases. At least, for me such handling of the OrderSend Error 130 has always worked.

Update 2011-12-15: Some brokers (ECN ones) don’t allow expert advisors to set stop-loss or take-profit level in the OrderSend() function, even if it’s greater than their MODE_STOPLEVEL. In this case, you’ll have to change your EA to send orders without SL and TP and then use OrderModify() function to set stop-loss and take-profit on the open position.

Update 2012-05-28: More on ECN-compatibility.

I keep getting this error non stop. my ordersend() function is as follows:
currentOrder = OrderSend(currencies[i], OP_SELL, 0.1, Bid, 3, Bid+(MarketInfo(currencies[i], MODE_STOPLEVEL) + MarketInfo(currencies[i], MODE_SPREAD))*0.0001, Bid-(MarketInfo(currencies[i], MODE_STOPLEVEL) + MarketInfo(currencies[i], MODE_SPREAD))*0.0001,”Sell”, BlueViolet);

The stuff in the stop loss and take profit areas were things that the internet told me to do but yet it still does not work. Please help!

Perhaps, you are trying that on ECN account, where placing orders with SL and TP is prohibited? In that case, you have to send first an order without SL/TP and then modify it to add SL/TP.

Buy trades:

Sell trades:

Whats is the reason for broker to do that if you can stop loos by hand ?

Because it’s almost impossible to constantly abuse the low stop-loss manually. Real abusers create EAs that do that.

Hi,
Thanks for the info – but I have a question I hope you can help with. My EA places pending orders, with TP and SL placed between 25 and 50 pips from open. Every now and then I get error 130, I presume because the SL is close to current price. Surely the error should only occur when SL is too close to the opening price, NOT the current price on a pending trade. adjusting the SL too much will change the nature of the trade – any ideas for this one. BTW I am using Alpari UK.
Thanks
Richard

Richard,

I am not sure but I believe that it’s not because SL or TP are close to the current price, but because your opening price in the pending order is too close to the current.

Another current issue deals with Market Execution vs Instant Execution. One is MM with instant execution and the other one is non-dealing with Market Execution. Market Execution that is done by STP and ECN cannot send TP and SL along with the order. You have to modify order and then set the TP and SL.

I have an EA with SL set to 650 (65 pips) and TP set to 800 (80 pips) but am still getting error 130 on execution. It works fine in Strategy Tester. The log file is as follows:

9:00:10 MACross GBPUSDm,H1: Alert: MA crossover -> SELL GBPUSDm
09:00:10 MACross GBPUSDm,H1: MA crossover: Error opening SELL order : 130
09:00:10 MACross GBPUSDm,H1: Bid: 1.558 SL: 1.5645 TP: 1.55

The code for this is:

      if ( CurrPrice  SELL " + Symbol());
         res=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,CurrPrice,3,CurrPrice+sLoss, CurrPrice-tProf,"MA cross SELL",MAGICMA,0,Red);
           if ( res &lt; 0 ) {Print(&quot;MA crossover:  Error opening SELL order : &quot;,GetLastError());
                               Print(&quot;Bid: &quot;, Bid, &quot; SL: &quot;, CurrPrice+sLoss, &quot; TP: &quot;, CurrPrice-tProf); }
      }

Do you have any ideas on how to resolve this?

If you are trading on ECN account, you can’t set SL or TP on position opening, you have to do it after the order is executed.

If you are sure that other EA are setting SL & TP in OrderSend() and don’t get OrderSend error 130 on this same account, then my only suggestion to you would be to apply NormalizeDouble() to your stop-loss and take-profit levels. E.g.:
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,CurrPrice,3,NormalizeDouble(CurrPrice+sLoss, Digits), NormalizeDouble(CurrPrice-tProf, Digits),"MA cross SELL",MAGICMA,0,Red);
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,CurrPrice,3,NormalizeDouble(CurrPrice+sLoss, Digits), NormalizeDouble(CurrPrice-tProf, Digits),"MA cross SELL",MAGICMA,0,Red);

You need to place it anywhere in the init() function of the EA’s source code (.mq4 file). If you do not have the .mq4 file and have only .ex4, then it is not possible to add anything to your EA or alter it to fix the appearing error.

is there any chance its because it sends sell stop + tp + sl at the same time? maybe it should place the tp and sl just after the sell stop is filled?

Here’s the Experts tab:

Yes, it may be so that the TP/SL should be set separately after the order is already open. But earlier you have said that you tried it on EUR/USD live demo and it worked.

It has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing scalping. If your broker uses ECN execution, your EA has to set SL/TP after opening a position.

Strategy Tester uses non-ECN execution.

Yeah, the EA applies SL and TP directly on position opening. It can be fixed by removing SL/TP from position opening procedures and transfer it to OrderModify() calls after positions are opened.

Unfortunately, this EA is a decompiled code and it is hell of a job to make sense out of anything there. You better contact its author asking to make it ECN-friendly.

I cannot see that from what you have posted. Did you read this blog post? It explains that stop-loss price should be no closer to the opening price than broker defined STOPLEVEL. Check if your EA follows this rule.

May be too little slippage is the cause of 130 error ?
How is slippage calcolated ?
e.g. slippage is 3. What is 3 ?
e.g. price 1.1111 + 3 = 1.1114 is allowed ?
or 1.11111 + 3 = 1.11114 is allowed ?

Whether 3 pips are normal or fractional depends on the particular EA implementation, but OrderSend Error 130 has nothing to do with slippage but rather with the rate of SL, TP or a pending order’s open price.

First of all, 200 pips might not be enough – you should really compare it with SymbolInfoInteger(Symbol(), SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL).

Then, there is a major flaw in this function – it trades on a symbol Symb given via the function’s argument. However, it uses calls to Digits and Point for normalization. Digits and Point use the current trading instrument’s parameters, so if you call buy(“EURUSD”, 13123123) when this EA is attached to USD/JPY, you will get completely wrong values.

You have incorrectly calculated stop-loss. You are sending a sell order at 1.1993, but your SL is 1.19785. SL should be higher than entry for sell orders.
