1. Why did you post your MT4 code question in the Root / MT5 EA section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)

   Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

2. Don't link to code, Use the SRC button! Please edit your post.

3. Compiling with MT5 not MT4

   double ema = iMA( NULL, 0, 300, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 0);

   int  iMA(    string               symbol,            // symbol name    ENUM_TIMEFRAMES      period,            // period    int                  ma_period,         // averaging period    int                  ma_shift,          // horizontal shift    ENUM_MA_METHOD       ma_method,         // smoothing type    ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE   applied_price      // type of price or handle    ); Technical Indicators / iMA - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5

4. Compiling with MT5 not MT4. There is no Ask.

5. You can't download MT4 via the site, only from brokers.

6. if (OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, lots, Ask, 3, Ask - stopLoss * Point, Ask + takeProfit * Point, "My forex wall-e order", 12345, 0, clrRed)) 
            Print("Buy order succeeded!");

   OrderSend does not return a bool, your if statement will always be true (never ticket № 0.)
