Buy-Sell-Close scripts ?

Hi, ive been searching online for some scripts i could use HOTMEY for buying , selling and closing....

I found a few but i cannot make them work....

I save under /experts/scripts

So i open metatrader and try to run them and nothing happens ....

Any ideas ? ^ thnx

Might help to post the scripts in question, so that someone can help examine them for you.

Coconut,

Are they compiled? If not let me know, otherwise:

Hit 'CTRL+O' on your keyboard while MetaTrader is active. This will open an 'Options' window. Click the 'Expert Advisors' tab. Make sure the option 'Allow Live Trading' is checked.

If this is not the problem. The script may be returning errors. Check your 'Experts' tab in the 'Terminal' window.

Lucid i looked the log and they are being executed but automaticly removed

It says invalid stops....

Also found this other script it loads but is removed also with no error tho doesnt work either....

#property copyright "Copyright 2006, Archer Trading, LLC"
#property link "http://www.archertrading.net"
#include <stdlib.mqh>
extern int TakeProfit = 20.0;
extern int StopLoss = 20.0;
extern int Slippage = 3;
extern double Lots = 5.0;
if(signal==2)
{
res=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,LotsOptimized(),Bid,3,Bid+(StopLoss*Point),Bid-(TakeProfit*Point), "Sell",MAGICMA,0,Red);
if (res>0)
{
Print("Order #",res," opend by Sell Signal");
}
else
{
err=GetLastError();
Print("Error(",err,") opening Sell position: ",ErrorDescription(err));
}
return;
}if(signal==1)
{
res=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,LotsOptimized(),Ask,3,StopLoss,TakeProfit,"Buy",MAGICMA,0,Blue);
if (res>0)
{
Print("Order #",res," opend by normale Buy Signal");
}
else
{
err=GetLastError();
Print("Error(",err,") opening Buy position: ",ErrorDescription(err));
}
return;
}



Also im having problem with another indicator... 4_Pivot_Calculator : Arrayinitialize function internal error any ideas ? This one is creating 10mb log files every day.... LoL


Thanks allot !

Hey,
With regard to the invalid stops error, you are currently using This is incorrect. What you should put is This way, the function will get an absolute value for the SL and TP points.

Ravster, i couldnt manage the correct the script!

Can you or anyone help me sending working files of BUY - CLOSE and Sell scripts ???

Thank you.
