This was a request for a simple trading tool so that is what I coded and that is the way it will be kept. Further requests to add trailing stops / Break even / Pending Orders etc etc will not be entertained. The bottom line is to keep it simple. Please take the time to try it on a Demo account and get used to how it works before trying it on a Live account.

IMPORTANT :
This is an Expert Advisor ( Not an Indicator ) and must be put into the Expert Advisor folder.
Make sure the "Allow automated trading" is ticked in the Tools / Options tab.

NOTE : As usual any attempts to change the name in any way will stop the EA from working.

Showing that any size is an option - sample shows sizes 6 to 30. Click on the image to activate it.

A simple video showing the EA in action. I have just uploaded another copy of the video as it was possibly corrupted and did not play back correctly.

Hi BitcoinBoff,
My trade tool could not open on my MT4. Is there anything you did differently?
Thanks.

1...Did you install it under the Expert Advisors, and not the Indicators ?

2...On the EA, did you PROPERTIES > Allow Live trading, ticked the box ?

3...On MT4, did you TOOLS > Expert Advisors > Allow Live Trading, ticked the box ?

Thats about it

Oh may be I did the wrong thing... I installed it into the indicators. So it should be used as an ea? Well, thank you very much for the guidelines.

It is on the foreground perhaps you have your MT4 candles set to "Chart on Foreground"

Not sure what you mean as it already has a Close button for the Pair/chart that the EA is loaded on, if you mean a Close button for every open trade on a MT4 platform
then that is not the intention of this EA it has been coded to be a simple EA for operating on a single Pair/chart.
