Vladimir, thank you, you have been very helpful. Now the question remains how to make the Take Profit and Stop Loss orders which the EA places. How to make them limit?

Vladimir, it says here "price level" but how does this relate to the order type?

Change this parameter:

Price level to execute a deal0.0Indent from the current price. At 0 we open at the current price, at -x pending Stop orders will be placed, at +xx pending Limit orders will be placed.

Vladimir, does this parameter also open take profit and stop loss orders?

Change this parameter:

Price level to execute a deal0.0Step back from the current price. At 0 we open at the current price, at -хх pending Stop orders will be placed, at +хх pending Limit orders will be placed.

This parameter controls how the trading operation will be carried out: by opening at the current price or by using pending Stop or Limit orders.

Stop Loss level (in points)50.0Price level for Stop Loss
Take Profit level (in points)50.0Price level for Take Profit
These two parameters are used to set the price levels for Stop Loss and Take Profit. If we specify "0", this means that theStop Loss and/or Take Profit levels of the open positions will be equal to 0.0, i.e. if theStop Loss and/or Take Profit parameter is "0", the position will never be closed by theStop Loss and/or Take Profit.

Vladimir, I have understood it that way. Is there any possibility to set take profit and stop loss as pending?

Vladimir, so I understand. Is there any way to set take profit and stop loss pending?

Meaning. Is it possible to change the order type from the usual market"take profit" orders to the limited "take profit" ones? That is, the orders which the Expert Advisor sets itself while working

This type of execution is by its very nature a market order. You cannot change this and there is no such thing as a limit order.
I thought TP was a limit order, while Stop Loss is a stop order. At least the TP is either at the stated price or better, but not worse!
