One-Click Entry and Exit on MT4

  • #1
  • First Post: Mar 1, 2007 2:04pm Mar 1, 2007 2:04pm
I know a trader who told me that one-click entries and exits were possible on MT4. He had read about it somewhere, but the problem is that he forgot where.

Does anyone know how to do this or know where to find info on this?

Thanks.

Theres a default script in MT4 called "Trade". Right click on it and assign a hot key. You will have to make another one in metaeditor for sell as the default is buy 1 lot.

int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,1.0,Ask,3,0,0,"expert comment",255,0,CLR_NONE);

Thanks CEO...I was looking for an idea that would help me do that...now you have given me all sorts of ideas.

Fantastic.

As they say... Sweeeet! Thanks CEO!

How difficult would it be to add a lot amount based on your current balance?

Basically what I am looking for is to have two different buy & sell scripts; one for USD pairs & one for non-USD pairs. The USD one would buy the number of lots = to your balance divided by 1000. The non-USD one would buy the number of lots = to your balance divided by 833.33 (1 US lot = approximately 1.2 non-US lot in price/pip)

int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Balance/1000,Ask,3,0,0,"expert comment",255,0,CLR_NONE);[/quote]

And of course:

if(MessageBox("Do you really want to BUY" #lots +Symbol()+" at ASK price? ",
"Script",MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION)!=IDYES) return(1);

I have some limited programming experience. I assume you'd have to start with a #lots=Balance/1000 & then reference that.... hmmmmmmm..

Anyways, thanks for any input!!

You've pretty much got it. Check the AccountEquity() function and then make sure your lotsize is something the broker will accept by referencing the MarketInfo(...) function.

Thanks Tesla!

I didn't realize how close I was lol... for syntax, will this work?

int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,AccountBalance()/1000,Ask,3,0,0,"expert comment",255,0,CLR_NONE)

Brackets around the whole thing necessary?, or will I have to actually assign it to a variable?

Thanks again, and thanks also for the link to the mql site. I'm not particularly interested in learning the language at the moment - not a lot of use for it except this lol

Happy trading,

Derek

Try this:

double dLots = NormalizeDouble(AccountBalance()/1000,1);

Basically, that prevents your lotsize from being 1.2853, rounding it to the nearest tenth (1.3 in this case).

Now.. you realize that you're trading a full lot for every 1k, right? None of my business what you do, I just want to make sure know.

Thanks again Tesla!

I was just going through that mql site actually. Very informative!!

I do realize it is 1k/lot - I'm on a mini @ IBFX so 1 lot = $1/pip. I realize this is still not within generally accepted money management parameters, but I am playing with a few things at the moment I've manually backtested a method that has minimal trades per year (12 to 21 depending on pair), little drawdown and manages to catch the majority of large trends so I think I can be a little more aggressive! Only time will tell....

Thanks again for the input!

Hello again!

I put the following:

double dLots = NormalizeDouble(AccountBalance()/1000,2);
//----

if(MessageBox("Do you really want to BUY "+dLots +" "+Symbol()+" at ASK price? ",
"Script",MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION)!=IDYES) return(1);
//----
int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,dLots,Ask,3,0,0,"expert comment",255,0,CLR_NONE);

The problem is that it displays "Do you really want to BUY .60000000 GBPUSD at ASK price?"

I know that Normalize Double goes from 0-8 places after the decimal point. I've checked out the site and based on their docs for NormalizeDouble it looks like it should work. Any ideas??

Much appreciated,

Derek

Is it possible in MT4 to create, or have a one click button to buy or sell @ market, with no order confirmation? This would be a nice feature.

Save these two files in the \Program Files\[MT4 dir]\experts\scripts folder. Open with MetaEditor and compile. In MT4 Navigator - Scripts, right-click on a script - Set hotkey, e.g.:
(Spacing isn't rendered properly here on ET, unlike in the attached files.) Here Symbol() refers to the pair on the currently active chart, order size = 10 lots, slippage = 3, SL = 15, TP = 12. Feel free to edit any variables as needed, on the fly. Ctrl-s and F5 to save and compile after any edit, of course.

There was an EA that added a BUY and Sell button to the top right corner of the screen. One click entry, you had to preset the lot value.

Also had an orderclose button that appeared "x" number of bars back from the current bar on the screen and floated over the order open price. This is very usefull.

Really cool stuff. I think it was called "Instant order" but I cannot find it. Anyone seen this EA ? I wouldent mind adding the functionallity to my other EA's.
