Is it possible to close all positions on mt4?

something like script or ea...

Here you go scripts.

Thank a lot

Hi Sm,

thank's for this script.

Maybe its a stupid question but how do we use it?

Im afraid that if I put it in my script folder, then it will instantly close all my positions??? Is there a little hint on how to use it in daily practice?

I need it for sometimes instantly to close all positions on my MT4, can it do that if i hit a buttom or how does it work?

Thanks a million in advance,

Scripts Setup

Before starting to use scripts, one has to set them up. Working parameters common for all scripts are stated in the terminal settings window. This window can be opened by the "Tools — Options" menu command or by pressing of accelerating keys of Ctrl+O. To set up script parameters, one has to open the "Expert Advisors" tab. Only five options influence the operation of scripts:

1. Allow live trading
   Like experts, scripts can work in automated mode. They can both analyze price changes and trade. This option is intended for limiting of trading functions of scripts and expert advisors.
2. Ask manual confirmation
   The "Ask manual confirmation" option is only activated if scripts are allowed to trade. If this option is enabled and the script tries to perform a trade operation, one will be able to either confirm it or stop it manually. In other words, manual confirmation allows to control over trading activities of experts and scripts.
3. Allow DLL imports
   To have their functionalities enlarged, scripts can use DLLs. If this option is enabled, the libraries can be used without any limitations. If this option is disabled, no script will be able to use any external DLLs.
4. Confirm DLL function calls
   This option can only be enabled if DLLs are allowed to be imported. It assist to control over each called function execution manually. If it is disabled, import from external libraries will not be controlled.
5. Allow external experts imports
   If, at the script operation, there is a need to import functions from other expert or MQL4 libraries, this option must be enabled. If it is disabled, no script will be able to call functions from other MQL4 programs.

Launch of Scripts

After general parameters have been set up, the script can be launched. To do so, it is enough just to attach it to the chart. At that, of there is a "#property show_inputs" instruction in the program source code, the script setup window will appear automatically. In the "Common" tab of this window, one can:

1. positions — select direction of position opening:
   1. Long&Short — both long and short;
   2. Only Long — only to buy;
   3. Only Short — only to sell.

2. Enable alerts — enable/disable script alerts;
3. Disable alert once hit — disable alerting after the first alert has been made;
4. Allow live trading — enable/disable live trading;
5. Ask manual confirmation — request for manual confirmation of position opening when performing trade operations;
6. Allow DLL imports — enable/disable importing of functions from DLL files;
7. Confirm DLL function calls — request for confirmation at each call of functions from DLL files;
8. Allow import of external experts — enable/disable calling of functions from external experts.

External variables of the script can be changed in the "Inputs" tab. They are variables of extern class. To change a parameter, one has to double-click with the left mouse button on its value and write the new one. At that, one can change the value of each variable or download the set of inputs already saved before (the "Load" button). One can save the current set of inputs with the button of the same name.
The "Reset" button returns all default settings. Parameters defined in the terminal settings are set in the "Common" tab. And parameters set in the source code of the program are defined as inputs. The script with the defined parameters can be confirmed by pressing of "OK" and canceled by pressing of button of the same name.
Attention: Unlike those of experts or custom indicators, special properties of the script are set only at its launch.
Script will be launched immediately after that. Double click with the left mouse button on the selected script in the "Navigator — Scripts" window or execution of the "Execute on Chart" command of the script context menu will attach the script to the active chart. The "Drag'n'Drop" technique will allow to attach the script to any chart. If the "Remove Script" command appears in the chart context menu, it means that script is working. This command is active only while this MQL4 program is working.

Attention: Only one script can be attached to a chart.

Script Shutdown

Normally, a script shuts down by itself. But it can be removed manually. At that, it must be deinitialized first and then rolled out from the memory. To remove a script from the chart, one has to execute the chart contest menu "Remove Script" command or attach another script to the chart. Besides, a script will be removed from the chart after symbol or timeframe has been changed.

Attention:

1. all scripts will be removed after terminal has been shut down;
2. removing of script from the "Navigator" window will not shut down the MQL4 program of the same name imposed in the chart.

thank you for posting these

Thank you, it seems interesting and comfortable.
Do you put them into experts/indicators folder or into experts/scripts?

I found it

Here's my CloseAll script (Version 2.01 - 22-July-2011)

// Set the optoin prameter to the type of clsoing you want:
// 0- Close all (instant and pending orders) (Default)
// 1- Close all instant orders
// 2- Close all pending orders
// 3- Close by the magic number
// 4- Close by comment
// 5- Close orders in profit
// 6- Close orders in loss
// 7- Close not today orders
// 8- Close before day orders

Thanks for the code CG.
Nice clean coding so was interested to use it.

Could you please confirm... when using opt 8 (day before) does it work between months i.e. if today is say 02.08.11 and ask to close before '28' would it close all orders dated before July 28 ... my logic says that it would not??? I think that it would close all orders? How would one specify to close all orders before that date?? (hope that makes sense).

It closes any trade that has a 'day' lesser than the 'before day' regardless the month.
So it will not work for the example you present.

Thanks again CG, nice to know that I have not gone completely mad ;-)).

At the risk of being completely annoying ... perhaps an update with that modified might be good sometime.

Best wishes.

You mean to provide an optoin for a complete date format to close any opened trade before?

Not really... can remain as an 'int';
Just to be able to cope with the scenario that I presented above.

Most if not all people would not be bothered about old orders I assume .... so perhaps if say date < 15th then it would check for all orders from say 15th of prev month < 15th this month (if that makes any sense)

Don't worry too much it is not life changing and the rest of the code is great.

Guess that this is what I meant....


case 8:
{
for (cnt = total ; cnt >=0 ; cnt--)
{
OrderSelect(0,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
if(TimeDay(OrderOpenTime()) < before_day
|| TimeMonth(OrderOpenTime()) < TimeMonth(TimeCurrent())
|| TimeYear(OrderOpenTime()) < TimeYear(TimeCurrent()))
{

hi,
codersguru, congrats on the fantastic job you did with xpma ea, please is it possible to never close in loss but hedge. opening a second trade and noot closing the inicial one?
thanks.

Wow. CodersGuru's script is much simpler for single time use. ProfitKeeper Close All EA is geared more towards continuous automation of closing all trades when having multiple positions open across the same pair or multiple pairs. Then the trader focuses on entries only; either have an EA or manually place entry trades. Although you could use Profitkeeper as a one-time closeall tool, CG's script is better suited for quick close.

Hello,

Is there an EA that can close an order as soon as there's a alert poping up. For exemple, I will manually place an order and the EA would be closing the trade as soon as there's an alert poping up. There must be an EA like that out there!!! Can someone find it for me please?

Dear Sm,
Thank you very much for these hot keys these are really useful, any chance of some script that can close all positions of one currency not all currencies, it will be nice to hear from you.

Kind Regards
