Stop entry in live rejected

Dymjohn · 2018-05-22T09:03:50+00:00

Hi Yesterday, I had two separate strategies fall over with the description “Rejected: Order level too close to market”. The formulas used for these two strategies was BuyPrice = High[0]+1.1*pointsize -5min and the second BuyPrice – High[0]+2*pointsize – 4Hr They were both on the Dax in normal trading hours. Can you help, is this a coding or system problem? regards Dymjohn

Hi

Yesterday, I had two separate strategies fall over with the description “Rejected: Order level too close to market”. The formulas used for these two strategies was

BuyPrice = High[0]+1.1*pointsize -5min

and the second

BuyPrice – High[0]+2*pointsize – 4Hr

They were both on the Dax in normal trading hours.

Can you help, is this a coding or system problem?

The minimal stop distance with DAX is 5 points, if I remember correctly.

This was a “stop entry” not a “stop loss” order so would have thought would have gone through possibly at an inferior price?

Even with a “stop entry”, you must place your order at a minimal distance away from current Close, otherwise your orders will be rejected.

Just use MAX to ensure you are never too close:
```
MinStopDistance = 5

StopLoss = MAX(MinStopDistance, Your calculated stoploss distance)
```
