question on stop orders in algo

calculatemode = tick
stop placement = 1 tick above or below prior bar high/low depending on direction

My issue is that I have error messages whenever stop price is below market price, or vis versa, how can I prevent this message from popping up (sometimes 500 errors before order get in at the price I want)

I still want my algo to attempt to get in with a stop order as the tick move within the current bar still.

before placing your order check the ask or bid price
if (GetCurrentAsk() <= High[1] + 1 * TickSize) the stop order can be safely placed
if (GetCurrentBid() >= Low[1] - 1 * TickSize) the stop order can be safely placed

I currently have it the same without the "=". This issue triggers mostly on "traps" after I analyze it more, I am wondering more if there is a place in ninjatrader where I can turn of that particular error message (500+ error message window really drain the comp resource).

If you can post part of your code and the interval you use maybe we can suggest a more appropriate way to go.

EntryLong = (High[1] + 1 * TickSize);
StopLossLong = (MIN(Low, 4)[0] - (StopLoss * TickSize));
//Enter Long

if (TDUPriceAction1.TrapLong[0] == 2 && TDUPriceAction1.BarSizeInTicks[1] <= RiskTick && Close[0] >= KAMA1[0] && CCI1[0] <= CCIIndex && (amaMACDBBLines1.Trend[0] == 1 || amaMACDBBLines1.Trend[0] == 2) && EntryLong > GetCurrentAsk())
{
BreakEvenTrigger = true;
SetStopLoss("Long1", CalculationMode.Price, StopLossLong, false);
SetStopLoss("Long2", CalculationMode.Price, StopLossLong, false);
EnterLongStopMarket(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), EntryLong, "Long1");
EnterLongStopMarket(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), EntryLong, "Long2");
}
