Stop Loss Distance – Too Close!?

  How does anybody interpret this message which I have been getting a lot lately.

  On a 1 x Lot Long entry … I have tried setting an SL at > 12, > 24, > 48 points below a Long entry and each time I get the message attached.

  Also … wtf does the per point mean??

  I don’t know what perpoint means.

  If you use SET STOP LOSS/pLOSS you should not mind about that.

  I usually use an IF condition to check I’m not too close when I use a trailing stop code.

  Thank you Roberto, you are so good always being ready to help any / all of us.

  My fault for confusion … I get the message during manual trades.

  Distance of your stoploss is 0.0012 or 0.00012?

  0.0012 is actually 12 pips/points.

  I tried > 12 pips and > 24 pis and even 140 odd pips and each time I got the same error message.

  I’ll try and analyse a bit more next time what is going on and report back.
