Hi there,

You are setting the SL and TP is absolute price. You need to set them in pips.

Best regards,

RE: Placing Stop Order - FAILED with error "TechnicalError"

Hello,

thank you for your answer.

I modified the code to respect the Ticksize. I still get an error

Trade | → Placing Stop Order to Sell 10 DE30 (Price: 18772.6, SL: 5700, TP: 5000) FAILED with error "TechnicalError"

I also tried to use the Pipsize :

But I have the same issue Trade | → Placing Stop Order to Sell 10 DE30 (Price: 18772.6, SL: 570, TP: 500) FAILED with error "TechnicalError"

Thank you for your help.

Please share the complete cBot code, your cBot parameters and backtesting settings, as well as your broker, so that we can reproduce this on backtesting.

My broker is ICMarkets and here is the simple code, I just put an order. It could be anything a Market order or a stop order, i have always the Failure message.

using cAlgo.API;

using cAlgo.API.Internals;

using cAlgo.Indicators;

using System;

namespace cAlgo.Robots

{

[Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]

public class StopLimitOrdersAt915 : Robot

{

private double _high15;

private double _low15;

[Parameter("Volume (in units)", DefaultValue = 10)]

public int VolumeInUnits { get; set; }

[Parameter("Offset (points)", DefaultValue = 20)]

public double OffsetInPoints { get; set; }

[Parameter("Take Profit (points)", DefaultValue = 50)]

public double TakeProfitInPoints { get; set; }

protected override void OnStart()

{

var closedBar = Bars[1];

_high15 = closedBar.High;

_low15 = closedBar.Low;
 

double sellStopLoss = OffsetInPoints / Symbol.PipSize;
 

double takeProfit = TakeProfitInPoints / Symbol.PipSize;

double StopLoss= (_high15-_low15)/Symbol.PipSize

PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, SymbolName, VolumeInUnits, _low15, "Sell Stop Limit Order", StopLoss, takeProfit);
 

}

}

}

Please let us know the symbol as well. I tried this on EURUSD and works fine

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Placing Stop Order - FAILED with error "TechnicalError"

I found the stupid issue. I was using the old ticker DE30 (but still available for this broker…) instead of the good new one DE40…

Now it s working perfectly!

Thank you for your support
