Для функции OrderSend надо делать проверку:

 void BuyPendingOrder1()
  {
   price= SymbolInfoDouble ( Symbol (), SYMBOL_ASK )+ 0.0002 ;
   double SL=price-StopLoss* 0.00001 ;
   if (StopLoss== 0 ) SL= 0 ;
   double TP=price+TakeProfit* 0.00001 ;
   if (TakeProfit== 0 ) TP= 0 ;

//--- prepare the request
   MqlTradeRequest request;
   request.action= TRADE_ACTION_PENDING ;         
   request.symbol = Symbol ();                   
   request.volume = Lots;                       
   request.sl = SL;                             
   request.tp = TP;                             
   request.deviation= 4 ;                         
   request.price=price;
//--- form the order type
   request.type= ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP ;           // order type ORDER_TYPE_BUY_LIMIT, ORDER_TYPE_SELL_LIMIT, ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP, ORDER_TYPE_SELL_STOP
//--- form the price for the pending order
   request.type_filling= ORDER_FILLING_RETURN ;
//    request.type_time = ORDER_TIME_GTC;
   request.expiration= ORDER_TIME_GTC ;
   MqlTradeResult result;
   bool success= OrderSend (request,result);
   if (!success)
   {
     //check here
   }
  }

//--- prepare the request
   MqlTradeRequest request={0};

You have to initialize your variable (you can use ZeroMemory() also).
