Error: Invalid stops / invalid SL/TP

Quick answer

"Invalid stops" / "invalid SL/TP" means the receiver broker rejected your stop loss or take profit levels.

1. Confirm SL/TP are valid price levels (not pips)
2. Confirm SL/TP respect the broker’s minimum distance (stop level)
3. Retest with no SL/TP (test only), then re-enable

Symptoms

• Logs show:
• "Invalid stops"
• "Invalid SL"
• "Invalid TP"
• Trade opens but SL/TP is rejected

Most common causes

• SL/TP is too close to current price
• SL/TP is on the wrong side of price
• BUY: SL below, TP above
• SELL: SL above, TP below
• TradingView/Telegram provided SL/TP in pips instead of price

Fix steps

1. Test copying with a small trade without SL/TP to confirm base copying works
2. Then add SL/TP with conservative distances
3. If using TradingView/Telegram, confirm the signal format uses actual price levels

Verify it worked

1. Place a tiny test trade with valid SL/TP
2. Confirm in Logs no stop-related errors appear

If it still fails (Escalate)
