Your stop loss is to low
or both
Just make them both 200
i ahd the same
From 200 it is working for me (us30 dow jones)
After it is working just adjust them step by step

Thanks I just did that but it is still the same

Well it has to do something with the SL and TP
Does your provider allows you to auto trade?
You might ask them.

YOu might be an a non-professional account or limited risk
This means you might have a SL and TP that are higher then 200
YOu tried a SL and TP of 500? or 1000?

Yes I can Auto trade another ea is running without problems.
I did try 500 pips as well.

Finally figured it out.
ECN accounts have their own specifics. One of them is – when trading through a ECN broker you will not be able to set a StopLoss and/or TakeProfit with your Market Order (BUY or SELL). If you try to do this – you will get Error 130.
