Order Entry Error

[spottysallrite]

I keep getting the following error message:
"An order has been ignored since the stop price ‘2010.25’ near the bar stamped ‘1/13/2015 12:20:00 PM’ is invalid based on the price range of the bar. This is an invalid order and subsequent orders may also be ignored."

This is coming from "SubmitOrderUnmanaged()", Sell, StopMarket on the 1 tick series; the primary series is the ES 1 minute. eg, my StopMarket price is 2010.25, and the Lows[0][0] = 2010.75, so this should work, right (ie, that the StopMarket price is below the low of the most recent bar; I've also tried Lows[1][0], but get the same error)?

Hi, thanks for posting. The stop price is invalid, likely in historical data. Since its a Sell Stop order the price used needs to be below the open of the bar. Try using this variable as your stop price:

double stopPrice = Math.Min(Lows[1][0], GetCurrentBid() - TickSize);
