Can you tell me what to write in the code so that orders don't open on every tick?

[Alexandr Saprykin]

int OnInit()
  {
   double LotSize(string symbol,datetime tbar)
     {
      double size;
      string BQ,currency=AccountCurrency();
      switch(MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_PROFITCALCMODE))
        {
         case 0:
           {
            int sbar=iBarShift(symbol,0,tbar);
            size=MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_LOTSIZE);
            if(StringSubstr(symbol,3,3)=="USD") break;
            if(StringSubstr(symbol,0,3)=="USD") size=size/iClose(symbol,0,sbar);
            else
              {
               BQ=StringSubstr(symbol,0,3)+"USD";
               if(iClose(BQ,0,0)==0) BQ="USD"+StringSubstr(symbol,0,3);
               if(iClose(BQ,0,0)==0) break;
               int BQbar=iBarShift(BQ,0,tbar);
               if(StringSubstr(BQ,0,3)=="USD") size=size/iClose(BQ,0,BQbar)/iClose(symbol,0,sbar);
               else size=size*iClose(BQ,0,BQbar)/iClose(symbol,0,sbar);
              }
           }
         break;
         case 1: size=MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_LOTSIZE); break;
         case 2: size=MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_TICKVALUE)/MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_TICKSIZE);
        }
      if(currency!="USD")
        {
         BQ=currency+"USD";
         if(iClose(BQ,0,0)==0)
           {
            BQ="USD"+currency;
            size*=iClose(BQ,0,iBarShift(BQ,0,tbar));
           }
         else size/=iClose(BQ,0,iBarShift(BQ,0,tbar));
        }
      return(size);
     }

There are two errors when compiling: I can't figure out what's wrong and how to fix it. Please give me a hint.

The telepaths are on holiday and you don't have either a header or an extension in the code header. How do I know what it is and what language it's in :)

For those who are not telepathic))))

Take the LotSize function out of OnInit().

I have the default username and password for the terminal. No server name in the selection list, I copy it. Now I don't have any agents in the network list at all, although the balance shows.
