These two fields raise questions:

        request.type_filling = fillType;
        ***
        request.expiration = TimeCurrent()+86400;

Are you sure you are filling them in correctly? To check - use the code based on the Standard Library.

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks for the reply. You are right. After I set the filltype properties to ORDER_FILLTYPE_IOC it send the market order
successfully. Thanks.

Check bid and ask (you buy the ask and sell the bid!!) and your prices and use MqlTradeCheckResult the order before sending.
