I have a nice expert advisor. I'm not familiar with mql5 language. It has several errors such as maybe MqlTradeRequest and MqlTradeResults headers are needed in the script, many "if" cycles should not be written on "global scope", some "if" cycles are written correctly. Here I give you the code to improve for me. It has more than 19 errors... For example "request.action", "request.magic", "request.price", etc, are unrecognizable commands.

I tested the code and unfortunately it was full of errors. You can view errors in MetaEditor 5.
