Allow DLL imports - Dynamic Link Libraries, which are external, unless required this should be left unchecked/unticked. (External means that these are libraries that are referenced from external sources outside your PC computer, therefore you should be careful with this one)
Confirm DLL functions calls - Exercise manual permission for every function call, either allow it or disallow it depending on your trade parameters.
Allow External Experts imports - This is used to allow your EA to reference some data from another EA that is in another place, away from your Desktop computer, (External means these EA Stocks Robots are referenced from an external source that's outside of your Desktop Computer, so you need to be careful with this option).
