Beginner Help?

Hello, sorry to annoy you with beginner questions, but believe me when I say I've tried for 2 days straight using google...

I've switched from MQL4 to MQL5, and I'm surprised how hard it is to even have my EA make a trade. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong here:

I filled out my " MqlTradeRequest request;" in the following way (I print out these values each tick):

2015.02.26 23:19:27.015 FirstOne (EURUSD,M1) action: 1

 

 When I send these into the ordersend(request,result); I get result.comment: "Invalid request".

I question the "action" and the "type_filling" 

I declared them like this:

request.action=TRADE_ACTION_DEAL; 

request.type_filling=ORDER_FILLING_FOK;

 Help is appreciated! =) 

  
MqlTradeRequest request={0};

Better to show your code when you need coding help
