Error "The STOP LOSS and TAKE PROFIT of your position cannot have the same value" occurs if you are trying to update protection of your position to the same values.
For example if your position has SL: 1.37084 and TP: 1.37090 and you are trying to update protection to SL: 1.37084 and TP: 1.37090 you will see such error.
You can avoid such error if you will check current values of SL and TP before modification:
if (position.StopLoss != newStopLoss || position.TakeProfit != newTakeProfit) ModifyPosition(position, newStopLoss, newTakeProfit);

Dear Admin,
system used OMF Ctrader - OMF calgo
system buying higher than set quantity ( volume)
system alternating between successfully modifying Stop loss and throwing out errors
The Max Number of Trades has been set - but it easily surpasses every single time -
I am just thankful it is a demo Account - Pheeeewwwwwww..
Pls have a look

As you can see from screen shots -
Only trade is open - Note the sucess message and error messages in split second time difference
The Code is correct -
if (newStopLossPriceSell < position.StopLoss || newStopLossPriceSell != position.TakeProfit || newStopLossPriceSell < position.TakeProfit)
{
ModifyPosition(position, newStopLossPriceSell, position.TakeProfit);
and vice versa for buy trades . .

if newStopLoss has more decimal digits than current symbol has, you need compare rounded newStopLoss with current stop loss value. For example:
if (position.StopLoss != Math.Round(newStopLoss, symbol.Digits) || position.TakeProfit != Math.Round(newTakeProfit, symbol.Digits)) ModifyPosition(position, newStopLoss, newTakeProfit);
