Learning to Automate Trade

[bdelphia]

Hello, I am just starting to experiment in mql5 and I am still learning but I get an error in this code in price which doesn't make sense since it should just buy the symbol at whatever price as long as there is not an open order. If you could help me understand what is going on that would help me a lot. Thanks

#include <Trade\Trade.mqh>
void OnTick()
  { 
  //Declare an initialize the trade request and result of trade request
   MqlTradeRequest request;
   MqlTradeResult result;
   ZeroMemory(request);
   //Defining of the Trade request
   request.action    =TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;
   request.type      =ORDER_TYPE_BUY;
   request.symbol    =Symbol();
   request.volume     =0.01;
   request.type_filling     =ORDER_FILLING_FOK
   request.price =SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_ASK);
   request.tp      =0;
   request.deviation     =50;
   
   //If variable action based on content
if (!PositionSelect(_Symbol)) // If open Position does not exist
      {
      OrderSend (request,result);
      }
}

Hi, this line, you need to end it with ';':

   request.type_filling     =ORDER_FILLING_FOK;

without ';', the compiler will not recognise that this line has ended, and will therefore give you an error in 'price' of the following line.

As mentioned already the missing ;
