Can someone please tell me why the SL is not moving, I am getting error 130 (ERR_INVALID_STOPS , invalid stops) and i have run Print( "Minimum Stop Level=", minstoplevel, " points" ); in my code and got "10" and tried running the code even with 11 and still same error.
Can someone please take a look and let me know, I barely have any hair left of trying all possibilities.
Much appreciated

Your
newSL
variable should be a type of
double
, not
int
.
Additionally, when you send order with type
OP_SELL
, use
Bid
price instead of
Ask
.
Docs
:
At opening of a market order (OP_SELL or OP_BUY), only the latest
prices of Bid (for selling) or Ask (for buying) can be used as open
price.
