For example, I ran a script on EURUSD 1 Hourly:
MyPrice = High[1] + (iATR(Symbol(),0,6,1)*1.5);
Ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUYSTOP, Lots, MyPrice,3, Low[1], 0,"BUYSTOP",0,0,Green);

MyPrice returns 1.16925750.

It gives me an error "2005.11.28 22:00:06 EURUSD,H1: invalid price 1.16925750 for OrderSend function". It is associated with error code: 4107.

So, I thought it was because of the rounding off issue. Hence, I replaced MyPrice with:
MyPrice = High[1] + NormalizeDouble(((iATR(Symbol(),0,6,1)*1.5),4);
Ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUYSTOP, Lots, MyPrice,3, Low[1], 0,"BUYSTOP",0,0,Green);

Now, I get "OrderSend BUYSTOP failed with error #4109" (ERR_TRADE_NOT_ALLOWED).

Even if I hardcoded the price like so, it still returns me #4109 error. Can anyone do me a favour and execute this, and tell me if it works?:
OrderSend("EURUSD", OP_BUYSTOP, 1, 1.1900, 3, Low[1], 0,"BUYSTOP",0,0,Green);

Has anyone got a successful OP_BUYSTOP/SELLSTOP sample? What does the above error really mean 4107 and 4109?

Thanks!

TheExponential,

Your code worked for me, I don't know what's the problem with your platform (I'm using MT4 Build 186).

This is the code I used:

2- I didn't get those errors:
4107 means "invalid price parameter for trade function"
4109 means "trade is not allowed"
