sc.CancelAllOrdersOnEntriesAndReversals= false;
sc.AllowEntryWithWorkingOrders = false;
sc.CancelAllWorkingOrdersOnExit = true;
sc.AllowOnlyOneTradePerBar = false;

sc.MaintainTradeStatisticsAndTradesData = true;

.....................

  SellOrder.OrderQuantity = CountOfContracts.GetInt();
  SellOrder.OrderType = SCT_LIMIT;
  SellOrder.StopPrice = sc.BaseData[SC_LAST][sc.Index];
  SellOrder.LimitPrice = sc.BaseData[SC_LAST][sc.Index];
  SellOrder.Stop1Price = sc.BaseData[SC_HIGH][sc.Index] + sc.TickSize;
  SellOrder.Target1Price = PT_DownTrend;

When setting the order price, do not use StopPrice and LimitPrice. These are old. You should only use Price1. However, this is not the problem.


This shows you are entering with a Stop order and it is getting rejected:
Order 2014-04-23 13:55:00.002 TFM4 Auto-trade: TFM4 1 Min #1|BreakOut Manager|SellEntry 4167 Stop 1 Sell 1148.3 Order Sent 8331 Open
Order 2014-04-23 13:55:00.003 TFM4 Transact Futures order report (Order reject). Info: Failed to Place Order 4167 28693401 Stop 1 Sell 1148.3 Error 8331 Open


The reason for the rejection is most likely the stop price is to close to the last trade price. Use a limit order instead.
