hi

can you share the errors in "journal" tab?

are you sure the symbol is exactly named "EURUSD" but not "eurusd ", "EURUSD.m"... ?

are you sure your broker minimum lot size for eurusd is 0.01?

is "3" slippage enough in your conditions of trade?

and please modify the magic number to a number but not a string!!

int ticketBuy=OrderSend("EURUSD",OP_BUY,0.01,Ask,3,0,0,"By Expert BUY",123456,0,clrGreen);

The common and glaring error  is attempting to place a trade in one symbol using the Ask price of the chart symbol.
