Please add TraceOrders = true and copy paste the output from the Output Window when you feel it did not work. Thank you.

texasnomad,

That 3rd line looks erroneous. You should not submit any tick value at 0.0038. Please check everywhere in your code and ensure that this value is never used.

I already did that. That's why the log file I posted prints 38 pips and not .0038 pips.

It is receiving the 0.0038 from somewhere as indicated by the TraceOrders output. Remember that Set() methods are applied to all orders following it. What I suggest you try is to cast the value to your int value in a new variable and call that new variable in the Set() method instead of giving it any opportunity to ever take on a decimal.

It's fixed. There was a setstoploss function that i overlooked inside one of my functions.

Thanks for your patience.
