Your question references Open Price, but you are using Bid, this is incorrect. You should be using something like the following int ema_period=20; double EMA=iMA(NULL,0,ema_period,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); double take_profit=Ask+MathAbs(iOpen(NULL,0,0)-EMA)*2; You should also check that your take profit is far enough away from the current price to be accepted by the trade server (using MarketInfo(NULL, MODE_STOPLEVEL) ).
