Problem with PlaceLimitOrder and PlaceStopOrder
Problem with PlaceLimitOrder and PlaceStopOrder
26 May 2025, 16:03
I tried to place a limit order using this new method
double volume = 1000;
double entryPrice = 1354;
double stopLossInPrice = 1340
double takeProfitInPrice = 1370;
PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, volume , entryPrice , "", stopLossInPrice, takeProfitInPrice, ProtectionType.None);but it doesn't set the SL and TP when i execute it.
I even try to set stoploss and takeprofit to pips but still not setting both.
the old method is working using pips
double volume = 1000;
double entryPrice = 1354;
double stopLossInPips = 10
double takeProfitInPips = 10;
PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, volume, entryPrice, "", stopLossInPips , takeProfitInPips);but it says its obsolete so Im trying the new one.

It's not setting your SL or TP in the new method because you said Protection Type is “None”. So if there's no protection type, why would you expect a SL or TP protection to be set? :-)
I feel so stupid right now lol
My bad.
Btw, what is Relative or distance based protection type? is it by pips?
