Metatrader 5 auto insert stop loss!

I use Metatrader 5 platform. It's very good for scalping, because it has got a one click trading and it's very fast. But there is a little problem. When i'm scalping, i need to put the stop loss manually for each positions. It's very hard work when i open 50-100 positions per day. Can anybody make an expert that is insert a stop loss X pips from the price automatically when i open a position? I have got only one opened position at the same time, so the expert don't need to watch more positions. Please help me!

In editor make a new expert (from template), delete all generated code, copypaste this and compile.
Ignore all "[invaid stops]" errors, and I think it will do.
SL has to be in sub-pips (i.e. 15 pips is 150 sub-pips).
Inserted Code
input int SL = 150; //15 pip

void OnTradeTransaction(const MqlTradeTransaction &txs, const MqlTradeRequest &req, const MqlTradeResult &res)
{
    MqlTradeRequest rq;
    MqlTradeResult tr;
    if (HistoryDealGetInteger(txs.deal, DEAL_ENTRY) == DEAL_ENTRY_IN)
    {
        PositionSelect(txs.symbol);
        rq.action = TRADE_ACTION_SLTP;
        rq.symbol = PositionGetString(POSITION_SYMBOL);
        if (PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE) == POSITION_TYPE_BUY)
            rq.sl = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN) - SL * SymbolInfoDouble(txs.symbol, SYMBOL_POINT);
        else if (PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TYPE) == POSITION_TYPE_SELL)
            rq.sl = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN) + SL * SymbolInfoDouble(txs.symbol, SYMBOL_POINT);
        rq.tp = 0;
        OrderSend(rq, tr);
    }
}

Hi m.m.m.,

I done it, it isn't errors in editor, but it's not work in Metatrader. It's don't do anything.
I got this message on the journal of MT5:

2013.02.06 17:41:43Trades'20046517': failed modify buy 0.01 EURUSD sl: 0.00000, tp: 0.00000 -> sl: 1.35168, tp: 0.00000 [Invalid request]

I understand it, but don't know what is the problem. Please help me, i'm not a programmer.

Hi mmm,

I've just started using your Stop EA and like it.

I have two questions for anyone who can help. Is it possible to turn it off on other pairs. I might scalp eurusd but have longer trades on other pairs.

I've only installed it on eurusd but its working also on other pairs that i dont want it to work on.

Also just wondering if anyone knows of an EA like this that would work as a trailing SL, I scalp so I'd like an EA stop loss like this set at about 3/4pips but that would move up with the price if anyone knows of one.

Hi, m.m.m.. Will this code work with MT4? This guy asked for code for MT5 and then said this didn't work. Then you made him another and he said it worked. Is that b/c the original is for MT4? I need the same thing for MT4. Thanks, kindly. P.S. Is there any why you could just post an mt4 download of the EA or indicator (or whatever this is) for me to download instead of the script and having to compile etc.? thanks again,

Hi mmm,

SSL works fine in demo mode here, but is ignored when trading the live account.
Do you have an idea how to fix this?

Greetings, Sven
