MA= iMA(null,0,20,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0)
expiration=CurTime()+PERIOD_D1*60;
//----
while(true)
{
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,1.0, MA-10*point,0,0,0,"some comment",16384,expiration,Green);

You have 2 semicolons missing: after MA variable declaration and after MA initialization. The constant 'null' should be 'NULL' (MQL4 is case sensitive...).

point=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT);

Just use the build in variable Point.

OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,1.0, MA-10*point

This won't work on a 5 digit broker.

//++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
double  pips2points,    // slippage  3 pips    3=points    30=points
        pips2dbl;       // Stoploss 15 pips    0.0015      0.00150
int     Digits.pips;    // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips)
int init() {
    if (Digits == 5 || Digits == 3) {   // Adjust for five (5) digit brokers.
                pips2dbl    = Point*10; pips2points = 10;   Digits.pips = 1;
    } else {    pips2dbl    = Point;    pips2points =  1;   Digits.pips = 0;
    }
//...
external int tenPips = 10;
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,1.0, MA-tenPips*pips2points //...
