This is my code for opening a simple buy trade. I wanted to make more complicated stuff since I know how to do it in MQL4, but in MQL5 I can't even make the simplest buy order.

Does anyone know what's stopping the EA from opening a trade?

The error is 4756.

I am using small XM live account for testing, if it matters.

That's what i did later, and it still didn't work. Then i got on my demo mt5 account, and it works there. It seems I can't open trades on a live account with EA?

Does that make sense?

 
Does the account allow experts?
