Has anyone developed a better way to place an Order rather than the "Clunky" MT4 way of pressing "New Order", followed by manually entering Instant or Pending Order, Volume, Take Profit, Stop etc etc.... ??

I'm not talking about an EA that automatically sets your trade.... I'm wondering if there is a "smooooth" way to enter a trade.... just 2-3 seconds with proper money management calculated.... even a visual indicator on screen.... same with modifying Stops and Take Profit levels.... after the Order/Pending Order is entered.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Sure...

I'd recommend writing a script that uses an external DLL that will pop up a windows box for you to enter your text and then send that through to your script that would then parse out the data that you'd want and then place a pending order.

That sounds like a pretty simple thing.

I fully agree with you. How far have you got with this?
