Hi,all ..

I tried to run a very simple script in MT4, but here is always error 4106.

code:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| script program start function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int start()
{
//----
int a = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.5,Ask,3,Bid-50*Point,Bid+50*Point);

Alert (GetLastError()); //GET 4109

int b = OrderSend("GBPUSD",OP_BUY,0.5,Ask,3,Bid-50*Point,Bid+50*Point);

Alert (GetLastError()); //GET 4109

//----
return(0);
}

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Click the Expert Advisors button in MetaTrader to allow your EAs/scripts to trade.

Hi, guys

Thank you for you help. I tried like this, but still not working .

snapshot has been uploaded .. is there any other reason that cause this error ?

Kindly Thanks!

Got it ...the code worked in EA...But didn't work in Script,why following code

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| S_Test01.mq4 |
//| Copyright ?2009, MetaQuotes Software Corp. |
//| http://www.metaquotes.net |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| script program startf unction |
//+-----------------------------
{
//-----------------------------------------+
int start()
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,3,Bid-50*Point,Bid+50*Point);
Alert (GetLastError());
//----
return(0);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

I am quite confusing.. the code in script is quite the same as in EA..but it doesn't work in script...Error 4109..

Well, for a start the "{" should follow after "int start()".
