Does anyone know of a Drag and Drop SL TP INDICATOR/EA that works?


I've used the Easy EA but it sometimes closes buy orders without a SL or TP being hit.

The different versions of the SL-TP_move by Mouse are not very user friendly and don't allow you to set your sl tp within 10 pips of the current price.
There is one called visual Sl, I believe. Try a search on that term.
You can google "manage order guru online"
You will find a nice script with click and drag SL & TP...
The Manage Order Guru works the best.

I wish it was an EA instead of a script but I'm not going to complain. It works sweet!!!!!!

i am glad you like it... it's also nice because it hides your SL and TP from your broker so you are on the safe side in case of stop chasing.

Zenitude,
Have you used it much? After taking 50 trades I've noticed that it doesn't exicute the orders in a timely manner.


IE . You move the stop loss bar to a SL of 10. Price moves through your SL and you expect the order to close. I've noticed between 10 and 15 ticks sometimes before it closes. On of my trades actually closed 12 pips past my SL.


Has anyone else experianced this using trader guru's script?
Maybe try his new version?

I'm having a hard time picking. The one I really liked is called "AutoGraf4". It allows this and other stuff.

What I like about SL by mouse - it uses real TP/SL so if your connection breaks they are still in effect.

What I don't like - it submits the order change while your dragging. it should wait until you are done dragging.

Hey Beta,

I tried his later releases but they have so many options for me scalping it doesn't really make sense to try and set it up. I'm not sure how accurate they are as far as actually managing your orders by the lines you drag and drop.

I tried to google the EA, Script you mentioned AutoGraf4 but couldnt find it. Can you point me in the right direction? Have you tested a bunch of trades with it? Does it seam to close trades within a couple pips of the SL TP lines you use to set the stops?
It's the first link on google for "Autograf 4" - http://www.fxservice.com/?p=3486

It's free for all demo accounts, and free for live accounts on alpari, and a few other brokers.

It works extremely well.

Thanks for the link Beatfx,


That didnt come up on my google search.


I'm not sure you can post links here like that without having 50 posts. Will this work if you have a different broker?????



I sure hope so. I'll be checking this out and posting here with my results.
Nice Ea autograf, now is anybody able to translate to english and able to tell us what all the wing dings are..

Please:
Dont worry I have sorted it out..
It took me awhile to figure it out too! If you go to the documentation page, there is a page that has them all listed.

I hope I can (yikes!). Someone in IRC pointed me to it awhile back. I don't use AutoGraf because I have a broker that isn't free, but as soon as I can pay for it i will. It's one of the nicest EA's I have seen.

As far as which brokers... I believe there are 5 it is free for. It works on all brokers (MT4) but there are only a few free ones.


OH, and one thing that wasnt explained very well in the help docs was that to turn on/off settings and to place orders and change settings, you have to double click the icon and move it.

For instance, to change your stop loss settings for new orders, you can double click the icon on the bottom for stop loss, drag it up a little, let go. it will bring up a bunch of numbers and then you do the same thing (drag/drop) for the number you want.

This is what i have managed to work out so far, sadly the translation from Russian is not very good and you have to read it many times..

Iam now looking into the automatic setups as you can see I have used it already by the channel lines....
it will put the channel on the chart and place buy/sell orders at the breakout of the channel but I want to see if I can work out how to get it to buy back into the channel..

Ha......I found it by accident, was playing around and bingo....

Now the next step is to work out how to put the indicators that come with it on the charts, theres even a Fibonnacci spiral.....

However the basic drag SL and TP and the instant close of all trade's is a usefull tool on its own..

Be carefull it will not work if you have another chart of the same pair loaded with other indicators on it...
It doesn't? I could of sworn it did... I will have to see what I did then because I know I had two charts of the same pair open and they work both working fine.

After reading it looks like Autograf 1 is free and should work on live accounts. For some reason I can't get it to work though.

Here are the install instructions at the site

http://209.85.173.101/translate_c?hl...ebSM4TMtHrrGJA


Edit I figured out how to past in English. Here are the instructions and a description of version one.

The main way to control orders in AutoGraf 1 is the use of graphic tools client terminal MT4. Enough to change the mouse position of the horizontal lines of order or shift manager icon tool - due to the server will send a trade order for the opening, closing or modification of a warrant in accordance with the Governor of the influence of the user.
Appendix gives the trader the following features:
1. Open a warrant of any type without the use of panel opening warrants MT4.
2. Close one or more orders of any type, using the press Delete.
3. Modify a warrant of any kind by moving the mouse on the screen, horizontal lines, raised in line order characteristics.
4. Use the tools to function AG semiautomatic control orders - to modify the order, following the course, permute StopLoss warrant in the area bezubytka etc.

Compiling the program. At the end of each file file.mq4 there is a group of characters / *. At the time of writing the program used build of MetaTrader, available at that time (2006). Starting from build 208 to successfully compile the program you want to remove these symbols from all files. A compilation of all the files do not need to perform. Compile only need three files: the expert, the script and the indicator (the program uses global variables, so when compiling certain files, the compiler will issue a lot of mistakes).
In case you do not own programming skills MQL 4, you can use the existing files eh4.
Currently, support for this version of the program terminated.


I think the files may need to be compiled??? I tried that but after removing the */ from the back of the file I get a no access error.


Any ideas?
