Maybe it is an indicator?
 

Hi Osana

That's right, some of function orders are changed.

Don't use a function OnStart() or start().

Probably the very old style event handlers init(), deinit() and start() are now considered obsolete and no longer supported.

If that is the case, you will have to update to the MQL4+ version of using OnInit(), OnDeinit() and OnTick() which have been the standard for many years now.

Hello,

I do as you said and I change all old style to be as you mentioned and compile it with zero errors and when I attach to the chart I got the same message 

This is bellow the result after compiling!!!!

here the new version as your advice

void OnStart()

  {

   if(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)==4 || MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)==2)

     {

      slippage=user_slippage;

     }

   else if(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)==5 || MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)==3)

     {

      slippage=10*user_slippage;

     }


   if(IsTradeAllowed()==false)

     {

      Comment("Copyright © 2020, www.golden4xeg.blogspot.com\nTrade not allowed.");

  //    return;

     }


// Updating current status

   if(ShowTitle)

     {

      Display_Title();

     }

   if(ShowTradeComment)

     {

      Display_Info();

     }

   if(ShowStats)

     {

      DrawStats();

     }

   InitVars();

   UpdateVars();

   SortByLots();

   ShowData();

   ShowLines();

   Robot();

//   return;

  }

OnStart() is for scripts

OnTick() is for EAs
