You can also open either a Buy or Sell trade, depending which one you prefer, but not both at the same time (due to NFA and hedging restrictions). The code at the bottom which says, "Check for Open Buy and Sell Orders," resets the "gates" at the end of the trade, and will open a new order when the "target" price is reached. If you don't want it to keep repeating you can delete this part. Also, if you want to open more than three trades, it's a simple matter of repeating the code, and adding the "unique" identifiers. If you...


You kind assistance very much appreciated.

Hmm...It seems none replying my request in this thread, I tried my best effort to understand the basic to write a simple script as below.

Appreciate if anyone could advice if the coded script is correct.

The script:
Open Multiple Buy orders at Market Price.
While I attach the script to any currency pair chart, the script will simultaneously open 9 orders as following:-
Trade 1 : 0.01 Lot
Trade 2 : 0.02 Lots
Trade 3 : 0.03 Lots
Trade 4 : 0.4 Lots
Trade 5 : 0.5 Lots
Trade 6 : 0.6 Lots
Trade 7 : 7 Lots
Trade 8 : 8 Lots
Trade 9 : 9 Lots
Trade 10 : 0 Lots

Trade 10 should't opened as the pre-set value is 0.
Every Orders will have same open price, 2000 pips of TP and SL, with respective pre-set lot sizes.

I don't understand how the " int i=1", " if (i==1)" and "i++;" works? and actually what it means? Any one kind to explain?

How the Close_Open_this_symbol script works

  1. Drag a ....._x_Order_Script_v1 with default magic number (#) 12 onto a chart.
  2. 4 script opened orders will be registered in the Terminal window (Ctrl+t).
  3. The 4 script opened orders will each be assigned magic # 12.
  4. Open a manual order from the same chart which will also register in the Terminal. Note: A manual order cannot be assigned a magic number.
  5. The Close_Open_this_symbol script has a default magic # setting of -1. At this setting the script will close all and any order irrespective if assigned a magic # or not.
  6. Release the Close_Open_this_symbol script onto the chart. All 4 script orders and the manual order will be observed to close.
  7. Repeat steps 1 - 4.
  8. Change the Close_Open_this_symbol script magic # to any number except -1 (default), 0, and #12 - say 3 or 6 or 15 - and release onto the chart.
  9. The Close_Open_this_symbol script will not close any script opened orders or the manual opened order.
  10. Change the Close_Open_this_symbol script magic # to #12. (the same as the magic # assigned the script opened orders) and release onto the chart.
  11. The Close_Open_this_symbol script will close all 4 script opened orders but will not close the manual opened order.

The code is for a script - trailing stop will not work with a script only EA.

Here FF post explaining the difference between Script and EA - more detailed information can be got of the internet - https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/239371-ea-vs-script

For code example of trailing stop see here - not necessary to open every EA as the Heading and under Description are indicative of EA function. By using view code can be seen and copied without having to download. - https://www.mql5.com/en/code/mt4/experts

What Is Slippage?
Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is executed. Slippage can occur at any time but is most prevalent during periods of higher volatility when market orders are used. It can also occur when a large order is executed but there isn't enough volume at the chosen price to maintain the current bid/ask spread.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Slippage refers to all situations in which a market participant receives a different trade execution price than intended.
  2. Slippage occurs when the bid/ask spread changes between the time a market order is requested and the time an exchange or other market-maker executes the order.
  3. Slippage occurs in all market venues, including equities, bonds, currencies, and futures.

source: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s...%20the%20order.

A slippage tolerance is coded into the script to allow for or accommodate the above.
