We want to run a script overnight and I have got the terminal.exe to run via a schedule to open the relevant chart and then run the script. This script collates the require variables, but cannot place the orders. It reports an Uninit 0 error. If I run the script manually, it works normally. And one of ten scheduled start has run the script and opened orders.
What am I missing here?
This is the settings files with user details amended:

This is a sample test script it tries to run:
void OnStart()
{
//---
//---Display Values of candles
//--- Candle Ranges 7 candles hourly
double Low_Range = Low[iLowest(NULL,PERIOD_M30,MODE_LOW,8,1)];
double High_Range = High[iHighest(NULL,PERIOD_M30,MODE_HIGH,8,1)];
Print ("Lowest value from previous 8 candles : ",Low_Range);
Print ("Highest value from previous 8 candles : ",High_Range);
double TakeProfitBuy = High_Range + ((High_Range - Low_Range)*1.5);
double TakeProfitSell = Low_Range - ((High_Range - Low_Range)*1.5);
//--- Place Buy Trade
int ticket_buy = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,1,High_Range,3,Low_Range,TakeProfitBuy,"SAS-RANGE BOJ");
int ticket_buy2 = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT,1,High_Range,3,Low_Range,TakeProfitBuy,"SAS-RANGE BOJ");
//--- Place Sell Trade
int ticket_sell = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,1,Low_Range,3,High_Range,TakeProfitSell,"SAS-RANGE BOJ");
int ticket_sell2 = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLLIMIT,1,Low_Range,3,High_Range,TakeProfitSell,"SAS-RANGE BOJ");
}
