Switch broker.
Your broker doesn't support the kind of trading you would like to make.

Change your filling type into one of these https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/constants/tradingconstants/orderproperties#enum_order_type_filling

[graziani]

There are 3 basic filling types:  ORDER_FILLING_FOK ,   ORDER_FILLING_IOC and ORDER_FILLING_RETURN.

I have installed MIG bank demo, and i was receiving this error no matter which filling type was used.

And somebody else was also complaining about that, although on different broker.  

[josejjm]

I use the MetaQuotes broker, to others is recommended by the developer of the EA.

[graziani]

You mean, you added metaquotes server to server list and opened MetaQuotes-Demo account?

I checked again, so the Mig-Bank-Demo generated:

CR 0 Core 1 10:19:12 EURUSD,H1 (MIGBank-Demo): 1 minutes OHLC ticks generating
FI 0 Core 1 10:19:12 EURUSD,H1: testing of Experts\fast-start-example.ex5 from 2012.01.01 00:00 to 2012.11.09 00:00 started
EH 2 Core 1 10:19:12 2012.01.02 04:04:00   failed market sell 0.10 EURUSD [Unsupported filling mode]
HI 0 Core 1 10:19:12 2012.01.02 04:04:00   CTrade::OrderSend: market sell 0.10 EURUSD [invalid fill]
.....

and then switched to metaquotesdemo

NS 0 Core 1 10:23:20 EURUSD,H1 (MetaQuotes-Demo): 1 minutes OHLC ticks generating
FK 0 Core 1 10:23:20 EURUSD,H1: testing of Experts\fast-start-example.ex5 from 2012.01.01 00:00 to 2012.11.09 00:00 started
QJ 0 Core 1 10:23:20 2012.01.02 03:00:00   instant sell 0.10 EURUSD at 1.29387 (1.29387 / 1.29431 / 1.29387)
LI 0 Core 1 10:23:20 2012.01.02 03:00:00   deal #2 sell 0.10 EURUSD at 1.29387 done (based on order #2)

so you have other problem, or you are doing something else wrong.

Yes, I have an account in migbank-demo-demo MetaQuotes not, but the broker is to MetaQuotes, as I can switch to MetaQuotes-demo?

If you have Migbank demo then the server is Migbank demo. To add MetaQuotes server (or any other broker server) do this : on MT5 click "File" and select "Open an Account". A window will pop out like this below. Click "add new server like access.metatrader5.com:443" and type MetaQuotes (or any other broker name), and you will have access to different server from different broker, like next picture.

The reported error comes from an error in the code. If you have it, fix your code to match to broker/symbol settings.
