  1. RTFM
    int EMIR=OrderSend(Symbol(),  OP_BUY,       1,              3,         XAL+20*Point,  XAL-1000*Point, XAL+500*Point,   0);
int OrderSend(  string symbol, int cmd, double volume, double price, int slippage, double stoploss, double takeprofit, string comment
    3 is not a valid price. XAL+20*Point is not valid slippage
  2. 20*Point is NOT 20 pips on a 5 digit broker.
  3. You must normalize price for pending orders
  4. 0 is not a string
  5. What are Function return values ? How do I use them ? - MQL4 forum
  6. OP_BUY is not a pending order
 
OP_BUY is not a pending order
