If I have multiple open orders going on at once (in MT4, of course,) is there a way for me to close them all at the same time? Thanks.

Hi Scott,

I added 3 scripts in the preceding post. The "Close All Open Positions" script should do the trick. I added the others just for fun, so to speak.

Or, did I miss the question?

I was looking for a way to set market orders on three or more currency pairs and have them executed in rapid order... These would be to open multiple positions. Do you know of anything like that?
I was hoping to place all three as close to simultaneously as possible, faster than I can do by hand if possible.

Yeah, a script would work. Are you looking for a script that would place the trades with a market order? Give me your requirements and I might be able to work something up for you.

Stockwet,
Yes, Market orders would be fine. What I am looking for is something where I can say for example
Buy x lots size of currency pair one
Buy x lot size of currency pair two
short x lot size of currency three

So each selection could either be a buy or a short. and the lot size could be set independent of any of the other trades as well.

No stops or TPs are necessary at the inception of the orders, I just want them executed as close in time to each other as is possible.
slippage does not matter and spread does not matter...

This is just a theory I am testing for an idea I have and I would be happy to share it with you once I see what happens.

If this is a pain in the, well you know, I certainly do not want to make you put a lot of time into it... But if it something that is not too difficult...

Let me know what you think, thanks Scott

Also, It would be nice if I could select as many pairs as I wish from say 1 to 10 pairs at once.. and when I am done inputing pairs, I just press something like send or some such and they would all be executed in rapid fire.

OK. For now, what default Lots value do you want?

Well for testing, just 1 standard lot is fine. Really Taylor, I feel a bit guilty to make you work on this. I really appreciate your effort.

OOps I misunderstood the question, the answer is still the same though..
1 lot will be fine for default

No worries. It's easy. Try this script. I can edit it further if you need.

Set the lots value to 0 if you don't want a specific pair to trade. Also, set the buy value to false if you want a sell trade to execute. I could make that a string value and have you type in a "b" or "s" if you want.

hi scott, is your idea that your testing have to do with a “hedge ring”?

Stockwet do you have a script that you could share to me or sell for MT4

This are the conditions on my trading strategy if anyone could help a newbie who is trying to learn or develop a strategy to share too…..thx

  1. I will be manually setting multiple buy/sell pending orders with stop loss and profit limit on several currency pairs (manually done by trader)
  2. the script should close or delete all existing pending orders at the instant when one pending order gets triggered or executed by price action.
  3. the script should not close nor delete the Stop Loss/ Profit Limit of the triggered or executed currency pair.

thanks in advance.....Fredric

hello and thanks for the rapid fire script. please i wont mind if you can just modify the script or better still make it into an EA to trade x ccy, lot size, tp and sl?
the reason behind the request is that i want the script or ea to trade news releases for me. how? i ll attach it to my chart (one set to buy and the other set to sell) but the ea tab will not be activated yet. once the news is released, and the direction known, then you activate the ea on the ea tab based on the direction. thanks in advance.
