The topic is old, but still read on, or maybe someone can suggest something new. I don't run scripts, and don't work with them at all)
Yeah. The information's pretty sparse. But thanks for that.
I will study those little opportunities provided by MQL.
Thank you very much. I will try to inform you when I see the results.
Should the SendFTP() function from the indicator work?
If not, where is it written?

Functions Not Allowed by Indicators and Expert Advisors
Indicators, scripts and Expert Advisors are executable programs written in MQL4, which are intended for various tasks. Therefore, there are some limitations on the use of certain functions, depending onthe type of program. The following functions are prohibited in indicators:
All functions intended for indicators are prohibited in EAs and scripts:
It is up to you how to work with the script. Wouldn't it be easier for you to create an EA rather than a script?
I also don't understand why people are so stubborn about writing a looped script instead of an EA with a timer?
I also do not understand why people want to write a looped script instead of an EA with a timer?
it's simple, it's a question of communication, as they say in the West.
The matter is that some people who are new to MQL are already familiar with programming, where the word "script " means a fully functional program, and the word "function " means a shortened version of the full program.
This means that not all people start to read the MQL help in order to see the difference between the Expert Advisor, script and indicator, and they write questions using the word "script", which means the same thing to each of them.
the second problem is that people who don't speak programming languages before = the terminology can mean anything
communication is the problem ;)
order #393331604 sell stop 0.01 EURUSD at 1.1680
This is a log entry. How can I track this in the software?

You are asking how do you know that a pending order has become a market order? - By looping orders by order type, the increase in the number of market orders relative to the previous tick will be a sign that the pending order has triggered
If the TS trades with a single order, then you will simply have a comparison of the number of market orders equal to ==1

i.e. the problem is communication ;)
Sometimes this is exactly the case, I know about it... But in this case, after the suggestion to do not a script but an EA, this is what's in reply...

My understanding is that MQL doesn't have the ability to synchronise different modules.
Okay. Then here's a question. What if I put a button on the field, and plant a script on that button.
Is there such a possibility in MQL? Or there is no such a possibility either?
After all, somehow the script must be launched !!!

Thank you Igor. So the terminal does not leave any checkboxes for the program? And if I don't want to search for orders on every tick, I will have to invent conditions for that?
