"Invalid SL/TP" error

What happens?

This error appears when trying to set up a pending order.

This error indicates that the pending order is placed in the wrong direction.

Ensure the right kind of pending order is being used as they behave differently, which means errors can happen if they are used incorrectly.
Confirm stop loss and take profit prices are set correctly. The stop loss and take profit prices must match the order type (buy or sell) at closing and the chosen pending order.

Because of the trading terminal's technical limitations, it is not possible to set a pending order, including SL/TP, at the current prices.

Read more about stop levels to set up a pending order correctly and the slippage rule to mitigate the impact of slippage.

If the issue persists or you face a similar error, such as a Bad Stop error, open a ticket in the support hub for assistance.
