I usually trade with dozens of tickets per basket of trades for each currency pair. I'm tired of writing everything out in Oanda by hand (sometimes takes me hours to just get the orders in), so I've transitioned over to MT4 for scripts.
Looking into it, though, I see you can only place one script per chart. My strategy is to find every 4 HR support and throw a bunch of pending orders at it. Many of these are 1R scalps to exploit price pulses at support, and others have wider stops and take-profits in case price takes off.
This is what I'd like to have- a folder of individual orders, like this, that I can drag & drop wherever I need to on the chart I'm on:
0.01 lots, 10 pip stop, 20 pip take-profit, lasts for 4 hours before decaying
0.011 lots, 10 pip stop, 10 pip take-profit, lasts for 8 hours before decaying
0.012 lots, 20 pip stop, 20 pip take-profit, lasts for 12 hours before decaying
0.015 lots, 20 pip stop, 40 pip take-profit, lasts for 12 hours before decaying
etc.
I'm changing lot sizes to deal with FIFO.
Problem is, I'm not familiar enough with MT4 or MQL4 to know whether this is possible, or what a script like this would look like (given the limitations of scripts).
How can I either drag and drop this on a chart, or click somewhere on a chart to throw these pending orders down from a pre-determined list?
