I added lines to the script (added BUYSTOP and SELLSTOP), but it won't compile, it generates errors. Can you please tell me what's wrong?

Thanks in advance.
can you end the operator with a ";" instead of a ","?

Thanks, I'm just learning :))) Thanks.

Thanks! I'm like that myself... ;)

:)))) Even more burning question. This script opens market orders but does not place pending orders. I messed up again. Could you please tell me what is wrong?
:)))) Even more pressing question. This script opens market orders but does not place pending orders. I messed up again. Can you tell me what is wrong?
What is the trading idea behind it?
I have an EA that ignores open orders set "manually". The script that I am trying to modify is designed for turning a "manual" order into an order with a magic parameter. That's the idea).
Good night!
I couldn't figure it out - so I put it off.
But you, too - take your time - study the math!
The language and objects of manipulation are simple...
Execution is sometimes lame?
So there is laxity on both sides.
;)
Corrected the above code. The pendants are not being set. Please help me to find error.

Thanks.
No, it's just the opposite, than what you've written. Of course, thanks for your attention. I thought hard, figured it out this way and that way, and you're wrong.
Actually, I see that the problem is not with the axes and bits, and I have not solved it yet.
That's a very strange assertion on your part. An apple won't fly upward from the strength of your thoughts, but it will fall on your head...
That' s the way it is and nothing else.
Or do you live in a particular country, where everything is strictly the other way round: profit - value with a minus? Think about it: buy at 1.0100, sell at 1.0200 (take at this level, i.e. higher than the buy price). We have a 100 points profit. There is no other way. If you try to set the take at the level of 1.0000, you will get error 130 - wrong stops. Take Buy (OP_BUY) cannot be lower than the opening price. And stop - just the opposite - must be lower than the opening price of the Buy position. For Sell it is vice versa - Take is lower than the open price, Stop is higher.
Looks like you not only need to learn maths, but also first grade maths... No offense.
