Getting a handle to open trades in the open trade tab

Hi Guys,

Could someone let me know if what I want to do is possible?

I am creating a Trade Panel (Buttons on the chart) that will allow me to open trades and dynamically set the lot size, tp and sl.

What I want to know is if there are open trades in the order window in terminal (pls see attachment) is it possible to click on the trade so I can get a handle to that particular trade so I can perform functions such as set stop losses to breakeven (for example).

Ive looked through the reference guide but cant see antything.

Thanks
Steve

No , unfortunately you will have to create provisions for the users to choose the trade they want to edit .

You can choose to have a selector with a ticket display (next + previous btns)
or
you can go with a fully fledged table ,allowing multiselection.

Hi Steve,
It may not be possible to click. However, depending on how the trades were placed you can select them via:

So if you need to have the functionality for the panel to modify orders, the easiest way is to build it as an EA. Then you can have corresponding buttons to cycle what order is selected and to then carry out the function such as setting B/E. There are probably many other ways of doing this anyways.
Hope that helps ^_^

edit: just thinking if you really wanted to do it like that, you can go with a table as suggested by LoRio (could be expandable with drop down triangle). It could look like the "Trade" window in your example and you will be able to have on mouse click events to make them selectable.

Thanks guys,

I really appreciate the responses. I am building a Trade Panel to automate lot sizes etc and want to automatically set SL' to breakeven etc. This is the last part of the EA so I'll give this ago.

Thanks again for your help.
