I understood that, and I fixed adding this line
request.volume=0.1;
But now I get that:
2016.12.21 18:16:24.918 2016.01.04 01:26:09 failed instant sell 0.10 EURUSD at 1.08463 sl: 1.08957 tp: 1.08155 [Invalid request]
Why is the request invalid? Where is the problem?
Thanks again for all support
Thanks

}
But I have this warning from compiler: "return value of 'OrderSend' should be checked " referring to line 'OrderSend(request,result);' and this message from execution:

Where is the problem now?
Thanks again
Ok thanks.
It works. But there is something strange that it is not clear:

As you can see, it perform a buy operation after getting the stop loss. Why is there this operation?
It is not clear if the 'buy operation' is performed or not. On the tab Operations, I have only :
It's a simulation starting from the 1st January 2016.
While on History tab I have this situation:
Thus, I don't understand why there is a buy operation, if effectively there is.
Actually I very new to Metatrader, so sorry if I don't understand well also the GUI.
Thanks
