I am starting to think that its interbankfx trying to prevent scalping when the market is tight. It works when the market is not tight - still it is confusing as once one's sl and tp are greater then MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL) it should open the trade.
Code:
StopLoss = NormalizeDouble((TradeAbovePct/100)*(DemaH-DemaL)*(1/Point),0);
if (StopLoss<=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL)) StopLoss=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL)+3;
TakeProfit = NormalizeDouble(2*((DemaH-DemaL)*(1/Point)),0);
if (TakeProfit<=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL)) TakeProfit=2*(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL)+3);
//Then I call a buy and sell as needed
//e.i
OpenBuy1(10);
OpenSell1(10);
